Totems and Totem Poles

Totem poles are primarily associated with the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, such as the Haida and Tlingit tribes. In California, Native American tribes like the Yurok and Karuk did not traditionally create totem poles; instead, they carved wooden objects like ceremonial masks and other artistic items. The concept of totem poles is not a part of the cultural practices of California tribes, which had their own unique forms of artistic expression.

The theme of this short story. "Totem" is that traditions change in order to merge into the main society. In a simple way of saying, it explores the story behind the assimilation of the First Nations by Canadian Governments. You could say, the theme is Change vs. Tradition vs. Choice.

Basically, Thomas King uses the technique of understatement to express the feeling of that Canadian Government is not taking care of its people. The government only accepts the problem, but not actually solving it. Just like the replacement of the First Nations to the reserve lands.

If wolf and fox arrive together as your totems you will need or learn some powerful lessons in camoflauge. The Wolf totem is a very powerful teacher. One aspect of wolf is to learn where you fit in with the pack. This "pack" could mean your family, friends, society or a combination of all three. Fox totem comes when you need to learn how to protect yourself from the so called "hounds" or "hunters" in your life. These are people who do not have your best interests in mind. These types are out to either drain your energy or maybe even harm you. You must learn to slip in and out of places unseen with keen awareness. Keep aware at all times. This does not mean live in fear, it means stay alert, focused and aware of your surroundings at all times. The best time for fox people to move about freely is dawn and dusk. People are sleeping at dawn and eating at dusk. You will feel a delightful freedom at these times. Yes this does involve sacrifice of your personal freedom, but that is part of the crazy world we live in now.

A totem pole served as the emblem of a family or clan, its unity, the rights to which people in each clan were entitled, and as a reminder of each clan's link to a spirit-ancestor. Totem poles are an ancient tradition of the Indian tribes of the Pacific Northwest Coast--Washington state in the USA, British Columbia in Canada - and some of the Athabaskan tribes of southern Alaska.
