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.

Totem poles can be found in Western B.C., as far north as Alaska, and as far south as Washington State. They are found all over southwest Alaska, with at least a few in almost every town. In B.C. they are found in Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. They would most often be found facing a river or an ocean. They are placed there to welcome visitors.
