The short answer is: Yes. But the longer answer is: It depends on what you mean by "Totem Poll." Totem Polls, were not used by the Apache, in the same manner as they would have been by more Western tribes. Apache lived primarily in the Texas and Mexico region. Rather than using the Totem Pole as a spirit (i.e. spiritual) entity, the Apache would use them as a story, or a remembrance of an important person, place, or historical event. One who is not raised in the old Traditional Apache Tradition may not necessarily understand what the symbols, carving, and animals truly mean, however.
