Why are there not many old totem poles?
Indians, or should i say native Americans, practiced the art of totem pole making for hundreds, if not thousands of years. when they encountered Europeans, however, the natives saw metal tools and it became easier to make the totem poles, allowing them to increase in size. The reason that there aren't that many "old" totem poles are due to that because they were make of wood, they decomposed over time, so we wouldn't be able to find for example a 1000 year totem. But i am almost sure that they would have been making smaller ones at the time.
Did the Tequesta Indians make totem poles?
Yes, with qualifications: Totem poles aren't originally native to the Seminoles -- they're from the Pacific Northwest. However, during the age of Seminole tourist camps (from the 1920s through the 1960s) the ever-enterprising Seminoles realized that white tourists expected all Native Americans to have totem poles. So they started carving them then. Therefore, yes, they did carve totems, but not for the same reasons as the original totem pole carving tribes. For the Seminoles, they were just tourist signage. Some Seminole totem pole examples from old tourist camps now reside in the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum, on the Big Cypress Seminole Reservation.
