Duncan City of Totems, Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia
The City of Totems, Duncan in the Cowichan Valley has been purchasing totem poles for approximately 30 years and displaying them throughout the downtown area and the surroundings. Most of the native carvers are western Canadian but others are from Quebec and as far away as New Zealand.
I have been documenting many of these beautiful native carvings for the past few years and finally have put up a comprehensive totem poles gallery. There are approximately 445 photos sorted by the carvers name and date of the totems creation. I’m working on an interactive map that hopefully will be online soon so when you come to Duncan, The City of Totems you will be able to locate the particular poles.
The gallery is located at Duncan Totem Poles.

Wow, a map. I love maps and what a useful resource to have a map of the local totem poles. I’m impressed.
I have great plans for this map but just have to locate a “script” that I downloaded a few years ago to make it work. Probably on an old computer. If not a boring map will have to do. Stay tuned!
are there still any active totem pole carvers around Duncan? I still have that dream to have an authentic West Canadian Totem Pole in my garden here in Germany. I used to live in Canada for some time, spending now my old age ‘back home’.
