They often depicted ancestral figures, animals, and mythological beings, reflecting the community's history and beliefs. Additionally, totem poles were used to mark territory, commemorate notable individuals, and celebrate important events like potlatches. Each pole was unique to the tribe and the specific messages they wished to convey.
