The Anishinabe (Ojibwe) people did not carve Totem as totem poles are most well know. Artists did beadwork, birchbark boxes and baskets and dreamcatchers. The clan (totemic system) was used however. Of the original 5 clans there are now more than 21, represented by various symbolic animals such as Wolf, deer, whitefish,loon and bear to name a few.
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 are typically found in the Pacific Northwest region of North America, particularly among Indigenous peoples such as the Haida, Tlingit, and Coast Salish. They are often located in areas with rich Indigenous cultural heritage, such as British Columbia in Canada and Alaska in the United States. Totem poles are traditionally placed in front of homes or important community buildings as symbols of family lineage, clan ownership, or cultural significance.
