Chief Skedan's Mortuary Pole – Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia

Chief Skedan's Mortuary Pole – Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia
An older version of Chief Skedans Mortuary Pole was raised in the Haida village of Skidegate about 1870. It honours the Raven Chief of Skedans and depicts the chief’s hereditary crests. The rectangular board at the top of the original pole covered a cavity that housed the Chief's remains. Haida artist Bill Reid with assistant Werner True carved this new pole in 1964. Don Yeomans recarved the top moon face in 1998.
