Description: "In 1903 Alaska governor John Brady collected fifteen old totem poles for preservation at Stika National Historical Park, creating one of the most famous collections of totem poles in the world. One pole became separated, and its fate remained a mystery for nearly ninety years. Home before the Raven Caws unravels the mystery of that missing pole from the Brady collection. The old Alaskan pole found its way to Indiana over a hundred years ago. A re-created pole stands today at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis.The first portion of the book serves as a general primer of the history and cultural significance, identification, carving, and raising of totem poles." --p.4 of cover.
