No, the Cree did not use totem poles - those were limited just to the north-west coast region and especially to the area of Vancouver Island.

Many people are confused about the term totem pole and apply it indiscriminately to various other types of poles set up by other tribes. It is likely that the Woods Cree did set up poles with skulls and hides of moose, caribou or bear as a mark of respect for the animal spirits and as burial ground markers - but these are not totem poles.

How do you collect all the totems of the super villains on poptropica?

The 4 totems are:

1) Binary Bard (Mordred) - Astrolabe Totem (in the giant clock chamber)

2) Captain Crawfish - Ship Totem (in the bottle on his shelf)

3) Black Widow - Paint Brush Totem (her self portrait)

4) Dr. Hare - Golden Carrot Totem (at the bottom of the ant nest)

To get the totems, first get the Stopwatch and the Turpentine from the chests in the Captain's dream, and the Paint Sprayer from Dr. Hare's dream. Use the turpentine in the sprayer to clean the paintings in Black Widow's dream (gets her totem). Use the shrinking potion to get into the ship in a bottle, and shoot the cannon to get the totem. Use the stopwatch to get the Diamond Drill from Binary Bard's dream, and while there beat his clock to get the astrolabe totem. Finally, dig to the bottom of the anthill to get Dr. Hare's totem (near where he is held captive).

What does the mosquito on a totem pole mean?

The mosquito may seem for some to be an unfortunate or unwelcome totem assignment. The most important thing to remember about such concepts is that the designation flows from the same essential life force that reveals the intrinsic beauty of the full expression of nature herself.

The misquito as an icon represents the most fundamental connection between the human and the earth cycle itself. Using blood as nourishment connects people to the very life force that pulses deep within. The residual swelling and itch is but a small reminder of the inter-connection between all forms of life ... and a reminder of the fragility of life itself.

The Menominee Indian tribe has been known to provide such designations in the form of highly intuitive and cross-cultural practice. To be "assigned" the name of "misquito" is among the highest honors, for it speaks to the radiant life force that seems to flow from the person who receives such designation.

Having observed such a process - a visitor from Austrailia was politely told, "You shall be known as misquito" - was a truely remarkable designation. She resisted and then eventually accepted her earned name, title and designation. And, through this, she was set free to the world, able to fly with the wind and forever more connect humanity to the very life force that draws us all near and holds us close to the Very Spirit of the Earth.
