For a totem pole to be sanctioned, it must be:

  • made by a trained Northwest Pacific Coast native person, or in rare cases, a non-Native apprentice who is approved by a Northwest Pacific Coast Tribe from southeastern Alaska, coastal British Columbia or northern Washington state
  • raised and "blessed" by Northwest Coast natives or elders who are part of the totem pole tradition
