Watch as local artists carve totem poles from cedar logs or admire Bill Reid's 15 m (50 ft) canoe, used during ceremonies and special events. Note, there are no set hours of operation but mornings are usually the best time to visit.

Bill Reid Totem Pole A totem pole carved by Bill Reid, an internationally-recognized artist, stands in his mother's village of Skidegate, Haida Gwaii and forms the centre post on the front of the Skidegate Band Council's administrative building. It was carved in 1978. A feast, dancing and potlatching were held on the day the pole was raised. Walk to the edge of the shore for the best view of the pole, which is a testimony to the endurance of the disappearing Haida culture of which Mr. Reid was a part. Address: . Skidegate BC Canada
