Totem Poles
Totem poles are a distinctive feature of Northwest coast Native culture. Cedar logs are carved with representations of supernatural beings and spiritual aspects of animals and humans.
These totem poles for sale are hand-carved in red cedar by named First Nations artists from the Northwest Coast. The collection includes works from the Haida, Tlingit, Coast Salish, and Kwak'waka'wakw nations.
Every listing includes the artist's name and a link to their biography. Cheryl's Trading Post is an Indigenous-owned gallery, a member of the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business, and has represented Northwest Coast carvers for over 15 years.
Gallery pieces are artist-attributed carvings available for immediate purchase, with four pieces currently in stock ranging from C$3,000 to C$10,800, including the 4-foot Eagle Totem Pole. Collectors who want a smaller-scale piece for home display will find artist-carved options in our model totem poles collection. Crest figures across both ranges include Eagle, Raven, Bear, Orca, Thunderbird, and Wolf, each carved and painted within the artist's own cultural tradition. To understand what each figure represents and the nations behind this tradition, read our guide to totem pole meanings, types, and cultural significance.
