In November 2017 a new totem pole was erected to replace the original one that was erected in 1951. The new totem pole was created by chainsaw artist Kevin f. Packie of Otis, MA. The 16' high and 1200 pound totem pole is carved out of a two eastern white pine logs.
In order from top to bottom are the following figures: Thunderbird, Bear, Beaver and Mask. Between the beaver and mask are a carved turtle and turkey.
A bronze plaque attached to the back of the totem pole is inscribed:
A GIFT FROM

Next to the plaque is the inscription:
