the beaver symbolizes this- creativity, art, and determination

The Makah built or made totem poles.I'm pretty sure there are more groups that do.

The eye itself is actually very easy to find! It's how you get to be ABLE to get it that's hard... You see, to get the material required to make the eye, (yes, you have to create it yourself) you have to finish restoring the mausoleum. I, in a way, cheated a little to be able to finish the mausoleum faster. More specifically, at practically the beginning of the game!

What I did was, at the VERY beginning, chose two villagers that both liked running, and made them builders. That way, they'll keep up with the heathen builders working against them, and the rest of the village can still do their work, too. At the beginning, the only heathens trying to bury the mausoleum are blue masks, which DON'T SCARE AWAY YOUR VILLAGERS. So this way, you don't even have to tear down the blocking totem! Oh, and near the end of restoring the mausoleum, the heathen master builder (you know, the one that's all depressed and stuff?) will try and help bury the mausoleum, too. This is normal. It happened to me, too, but once you finish, he'll go back to his post.

When you finish restoring the mausoleum, (don't worry, the heathens won't try and bury it again) there will be a small bowl of water near the enterance. Drop one of your villagers on it, and they will take it to the river near the broken pot. Then drop them on the pot again, and they will try and goldpan in the river. I say "try" because they won't always succeed. Once they finish goldpanning three times. 3 times. 3THREE3!! (DO YOU HEAR ME!? IT HAS TO BE THREE!!) Drop another one of your villagers on the pot that is now filled with gold, (and now what that annoying broken pot was ever there for!) and they will take it over to the fire to smelt it. (Did I mention the fire has to be lit?)

After a little waiting, the lump of gold will then be a round lump of gold. Then, just drop one of your villagers on the round, gold ball and they will take it over to the blind totem and the eye will then be automatically installed and you will finally... actually, it's probably better I don't give you any spoilers. Happy smelting, whoever you are!

Yes they did the totem poles tole their family history

It depends on the particular culture you come from. Possibilities are: # You inherit it by descent. So ask your parents or someone who would know your lineage. # You engage in the rite of passage ritual - depending on tribe it is a matter of prolonged isolation and fasting until you have the experience of having your totem animal approach you in vision. # Simply decide for yourself which creature/culture you wish to follow and adopt that totem as your own - however it is hoped that you would approach this with a little more serious thought and conviction than what you would with deciding on a new tattoo.

These poles are more correctly known as "story poles" and were personal to the carver and their family. The creatures represented related to the life of the carver and his beliefs.

------

While totem poles do tell stories, they also represent a clan's crest, social rank, and affiliation. Totem poles were also carved to memorialize a deceased person. Animals carved on totem poles may represent the carver's crest, clan, or figures in a clan's story. It is not only animals or mythical creatures carved on totem poles, sometimes people and other objects are carved on them also. Depending on the story, it often does not personally belong to the carver, but rather to the clan he belongs to. If anything the totem poles were personal to the carver and his clan as opposed to just the carver and his family.

YES

A totem pole represents the animals of the tribe unless I am mistaken.

For the native Americans to dance around and also a place to tell stories and to learn about their ancestry.

The carvings on some totem poles told stories or the Indians put them out to scare off their enemies.

Some of them do, depending on what legend they are based on. If the legend is about a bird, then the totem pole could have wins on it.

Well its slow but it works. if you put the bee power near the Heathens that are bathing, they will run and hide under the water. you will have a couple of seconds to dismantle the rainbow totem.

Depending on where the totem pole was made, or what culture it came from, totem poles where made from diffrent materials. Indians where most commonly known for wooden totem poles, but mayans totem poles where made from stones, like limestone.

The Anishinabe (Ojibwe) people did not carve Totem as totem poles are most well know.

Artists did beadwork, birchbark boxes and baskets and dreamcatchers. The clan (totemic system) was used however. Of the original 5 clans there are now more than 21, represented by various symbolic animals such as Wolf, deer, whitefish,loon and bear to name a few.

Totem poles were only found in the Pacific Northwest. They are important to those tribes but not necessarily to any other ones. The Totem pole was carved as a history of the family who carved it or of the family to hired the carver to make them.

Totem poles can be found in Western B.C., as far north as Alaska, and as far south as Washington State. They are found all over southwest Alaska, with at least a few in almost every town. In B.C. they are found in Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. They would most often be found facing a river or an ocean. They are placed there to welcome visitors. This is because most people travelled by canoe. Most of the older ones have been taken down and placed in parks, museums, and even small villages.

None of the north-eastern tribes made totem poles - they are a feature of tribes of the north-west coast.

Yes, and only Northwetern Native American Tribes used or had Totem Poles.

I'm studying Algonquins in school and I know that they did not build totem poles only in the Northwest Coast, the Algonquin is in the Eastern Woodlands.

You need 1000 saves. After this, look at the little bar by your profile picture. There should be a feather. Click on it, and it will give you the option of making a totem or changing your shaman colour.

That depends on the culture or tribe who is doing the carving. The carvings can represent family ancestry, legends, monumenal events.

These totem poles were never objects of worship for the the Native Americans, merely a public record of sorts.

The movie's ending is deliberately ambiguous. After Cobb spins the totem, it continues to spin and wobbles slightly just as the screen cuts to black. The movie does not make clear whether or not the totem will continue to spin indefinitely or fall, leaving it to the viewer to decide whether he is still dreaming or in reality.

For his part, Cobb does not wait to see whether or not the totem topples over, perhaps suggesting that, free of guilt, it makes no difference whether he is in the waking or dreaming world.

-Added-

Let's not forget that the spinning top was not originally Cobbs totem, it was his wifes.. He knew the balance of this totem meaning he could use it but could also be tricked by one person, his wife.

I think Cobbs childrens faces were his totem, when he saw their faces he knew it was reality or didn't really care to detirmine the outcome of his believed totem.

-Added-

Cobb is never awake in the entire movie. Even the outer layer, with Aurthur, Eemes, Ariadne, Saito, etc. is all part of his infinite dream. He is always on a permanent loop from the beginning of his dream (unknown) to the end (washed up on shore, visits old-man Saito) UNTIL his subconscious finally gets rid of the old architect (the one that messed up the rug in the beginning of the movie) with the new one, Ariadne. Ariadne and Memory-Mal are both Cobb's representation of the real Mal (the one who "died" [but she actually freed herself from the dream cuz she was right]). When Cobb is explaining why he won't stay with Memory-Mal in Limbo, he says "I can't live with all your perfections (Ariadne) and your imperfections (Memory-Mal). So basically he split Mal into good and bad. Also, Fischer and Eemes are Cobb's representation of himself (not so much Eemes as Fischer, though). Cobb has guilt about his father. That is represented in his subconscious by Fischer, who's father was thought to be dissappointed with his son. Eemes said sentences along the lines of "I just want to go home" several times during the movie, which is all Cobb wants: to go home. We never saw Cobb's totem get spun, fall, and completely stop in one scene; there were always split scenes and cutaways. Ariadne's title is "Architect" and it is because Cobb finally got a new architect for his dream loop, he broke free and got into a new part of his everlasting limbo: his kids and home and stuff. If Cobb never got Ariadne, then the ending with Old-Man-Saito would've been the exact same as the first scene and then it would've looped back to the beginning: the middle age Saito in the hotel/palace. But instead of looping back, the Old-Man-Saito scene at the end was different because Cobb finally convinced him to go back.

No, only a few tribes on the west coast of Canada and the north-west coast of the USA made totem poles.
