Review:
The original Chief Johnson Totem Pole was raised in 1901 by Tlingit Chief Johnson in honor of the Kadjuk House on the Raven Clan. The totem pole was restored by native carvers in the early 1940s and was eventually moved to the Totem Heritage Center for preservation. The totem pole that you see today is an exact replica of the original, which was carved by Israel Shotridge and raised in 1989. Visitors should definitely stop by and view the structure as it is a prime example of Native Alaskan totem pole carving and gives a unique look into the land’s history.
