It is truly a part of my heart&#8217;s connection with Cascadia. <\/p>\n<p><P>Totems, in the Pacific Northwest, are usually depicted by the stacking of tribal masks or heads carved into a tall towering pole. &#8220;Totems&#8221; are spirit beings, symbols, or sacred objects that represent families, clans, lineages, or tribes. Totem as a definition was first classified from the art forms and beliefs made by the Ojibwe tribe in the Pacific Northwest. They see the concept as believing in tutelary Deities or spirits. This concept however is worldwide, and defining term &#8220;totem&#8221; is utilized by Anthropologists to explain this concept as it is used in other cultures such as Australia, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Arctic, and Middle East. Most cultures outside of the Americas call their guardian spirits and symbols by other words rather than &#8220;totems&#8221;. Neo-Paganism and the New Age have adopted the term &#8220;totem&#8221; to identify a particular personal or tutelary spirit guide.<\/p>\n<p><P><B>Pacific Northwest &#8211; North America<\/B><br \/>\n<P>The Pacific Northwest, nicknamed &#8220;Cascadia&#8221; is home to most of the &#8220;Totem culture&#8221; found in North America. Many of these are represented in <B>Totem Poles<\/B>. The belief in totems follows alongside &#8220;animism&#8221;, the belief that everything has a spirit or soul. Many totems are animals or creatures that represent a tribe, family, or clan. <\/p>\n<p><P><B><I>Totem Poles<\/I><\/B><BR><br \/>\n Totem poles feature tribal masks, heads, animals (especially bears, frogs, birds), and supernatural creatures or beings from myths. These often function as representatives, chiefs, or crests of a family or royal lineage. Each is embedded with its own stories, myths, tales, and traditions. On a totem pole, they are read from the bottom to top. <\/p>\n<p><P>The North American <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.technogypsie.com\/science\/?p=3467\">Northwest and Columbia Plateau Tribes<\/A> have a distinct style, culture, and belief system. The <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.technogypsie.com\/science\/?p=3803\">Artwork of the Native American Pacific Northwest Cultures<\/A> is phenomenal, embedded with myths, legends, and spirituality that empowers their people. <\/p>\n<p><P><DIV ALIGN=\"CENTER\"><FONT SIZE=\"-2\"><I><div id=\"attachment_3893\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.technogypsie.com\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080517-102.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3893\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.technogypsie.com\/science\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/080517-102-300x199.jpg?resize=300%2C199\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3893\" data-wp-pid=\"3893\" nopin=\"nopin\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3893\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Totems (http:\/\/www.technogypsie.com\/science\/?p=3801); Pacific Northwest Tribal Art (http:\/\/www.technogypsie.com\/science\/?p=3803); Pacific Northwest Tribes (http:\/\/www.technogypsie.com\/science\/?p=3467) Exhibit &#8211; Denver Museum of Art\/ Art Museum (http:\/\/www.technogypsie.com\/reviews\/?p=838).
