Return to earth
A moss-covered totem pole lying on the ground and slowly returning to the earth, K'uuna Llnagaay (Skedans) Gwai Haanas, BC. The disintegration of the memorial statuary is recognized by the Haida culture as a part of its natural life cycle.
I suspect this is the pole in the painting that Melanie Lloyd Olson posted in her North by Northwest comment the other day. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10160588876526980&set=p.10160588876526980&type=3
