Totem raised
Tla-o-qui-aht presence celebrated in Tofino ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca
Tofino joined the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation at Anchor Park on Friday to celebrate the raising of a totem pole carved by master carver Joe David. David carved the totem pole to honour the Tla-o-qui-aht’s hereditary chiefs, Ha’wiih, and gifted it to Tofino to be erected in the community as a celebration of the West Coast’s First Nations presence. After the totem pole was in place, David told the Westerly News he was pleased and thankful to see such a large turnout show their support. “Today was an incredJoe David ible day,” said Tla-o-quiaht councillor Terry Dorward. “It was a day that will go down in Tla-o-qui-aht history when master carver Joe David gifted the chiefs this beautiful totem pole that represents our traditional laws and teachings as Tla-o-qui-aht people and recognizes Tla-o-qui-aht sovereignty here in the Tofino area. Our hereditary chiefs need to be upheld. Our teachings and laws need to be in place and this is a reminder of it.” Continued on A3
