gyảaGang (House Frontal Totem Pole)

Carved at the University of British Columbia for display at Totem Park in 1959. The entire Haida House complex was moved to the grounds outside the new Museum of Anthropology building in c. 1975. Reid based the design of the pole on older poles from SGang Gwaay (Ninstints).

Pole at front of mortuary house. Figures from top to bottom are: watchmen, raven/human with human/bird face on tail, bear with raven between legs, frog-like creature with mosquito(?) between eyes, bear with frog in mouth, wolf between legs, and cub between its ears.
