“Totems of the Jamestown
S’Klallam Tribe: The Art of Dale Faulstich”
Product Description
This full-color book depicts and explains the creation of
and the stories behind the cedar totem poles which adorn the
Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe's campus and businesses, all designed
and carved by Tribal Artist Dale Faulstich. Few people can drive
through Blyn, Washington at the base of Sequim Bay without
stopping to view and photograph the colorful and majestic
totems, each of which tells a story of the Tribe and its social
and natural history on the Olympic Peninsula. The book explains
the process by which the trees are harvested and prepared for
carving, the design, carving and decorating process, the tools
used, installation of the poles (which are up to 50 feet tall),
and the charming stories behind the animals and characters
portrayed on each pole. Some of the stories are contemporary;
others harken back to the teaching tales of the S'Klallam's oral
tradition. A beautiful book for carvers, historians, lovers of
Native American art, this book is also a book of folktales
suitable for reading to children, who will love finding the
brightly painted animals in each accompanying photograph.
