To stop rushing around, to sit quietly on the grass, to switch off the world and come back to Earth, to allow the eye to see a willow, a bush, a cloud, a leaf, is an unforgettable experience.

A tree is beautiful, but what’s more, it has a right to life; like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees.

To look into the heart of the cherry tree when it was blossoming was a marvel almost greater than one could bear. Millions and millions of tiny white bells trembling, swaying, too full of white holiness to ring.

Thunderbird Park was established in 1941 when a display of totem poles from the Royal BC Museum's collection was set up at the corner of Belleville and Douglas streets in Victoria. In 1952, Anthropology Curator Wilson Duff initiated a pole restoration program and hired Kwakwaka'wakw master carver, Mungo Martin, as chief carver for Thunderbird Park. Thunderbird Park is named for the mythological creature found on many totem poles: the ones in the park came from the Gitxsan, Haida, Kwakwaka’wakw and other First Nations.

Victoria's Spirit Square is situated at Centennial Square and features two Spirit Poles, known as the "Two Brothers" that serve as a gateway to this public space. Butch Dick was nominated by Chief Robert Sam of the Songhees Nation and Chief Andy Thomas of the Esquimalt Nation, to design and carve two, 5.5-metre (18-foot) cedar Spirit Poles to serve as a gateway to the Square's native plant garden. Titled "Two Brothers", one pole was designed and carved by Butch Dick with the assistance of his son Bradley, and the other was designed and carved by his son Clarence. Both poles are fashioned after traditional Coast Salish house posts.
