Friendship Totem Pole - White Horse, Yukon Territory - Outside Wooden Display Carvings on Waymarking.com

"Friendship Totem Pole Created by Stan Peters, 1973
Look for the totem pole near the parking lot in Rotary Peace Park. This totem
pole was made to encourage unity and friendship among all Yukoners. From bottom to top it depicts bear, beaver, crow, wolf and thunderbird. Each animal is significant. The bear represents strength; the beaver represents economy and trade; the Crow and the Wolf are two important First Nations clans found in the Yukon; and the thunderbird is a mythological bird found in First Nations legends. The wolf is holding a man, Skookum Jim Mason, in his hands. Mason is one of the men credited with finding the first gold nuggets in the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898.
