Many of the poles tell a story, either of a battle, a great feat or a popular legend. Erected for the people of the tribe and visitors to see and remember the events carved into the pole.
They were often also used by Native Australian tribes and Maori tribes to mark their territories, warning rival tribes that they are entering their land, as well as to tell stories like most totem poles.
