Abstract

A set of three mortuary poles standing at a well protected location. They're considered one of the most elaborate Haida mortuaries on all of Haida Gwaii. The central pole was about 5.4 metres, with the side poles slightly shorter. A fourth plain pole was behind for support for the burial chamber, which held the remains of a single individual.
