Fait partie de MOA General Media collection
Workers on a scaffolding appear to be using a welder to cut one of the supports from a totem pole standing in Totem Park. This is in preparation to move the totem pole to the new Museum of Anthropology building. This pole was carved by George Hunt Sr. The pole is now part of the museum's collection.
This pole was originally carved for the Edward S. Curtis film "In the Land of the War Canoes" which was originally titled "In the Land of the Head Hunters." The pole was repaired and re-painted by carvers Ellen Neel in 1949 and Mungo Martin in 1950-51. It stood at Totem Park, UBC Campus until it was re-located to the Museum's Great Hall in 1976.
