Cedar trees are used to make totem poles primarily because of their durability, workability, and resistance to decay. The wood is lightweight yet strong, making it ideal for carving intricate designs and symbols that represent cultural stories and family lineage. Additionally, cedar holds cultural significance for many Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, often symbolizing life and renewal. Its natural aroma and properties also contribute to its revered status in traditional craftsmanship.
