tell a story.
yes
Native Americans had a very diverse culture. Arts and crafts were means of expressions for them. Totem poles were interesting to native american children as toy airplanes are to american kids. Paint, masks, and other accessories were used to decorate the totem pole. The totem pole was used in cultural holidays to celebrate their hertiage.
The Algonquins did NOT make Totem Poles.Totem Poles were erected only by Native Americans from the Northwest Coast of the United States and Canada.The Algonquins were an eastern tribe.
That depends on the culture or tribe who is doing the carving. The carvings can represent family ancestry, legends, monumenal events. These totem poles were never objects of worship for the the Native Americans, merely a public record of sorts.
