This totem pole node is actually three separate poles

These buildings have been demolished to build a new tribal health center. The roads have been repositioned too. Maybe add these roads and buildings to OpenHistoricalMap before deleting?

There should be a totem pole around here in front of the Coast Guard station

Is this a totem pole? Needs survey.

There is probably a large Inukshuk at this location. Someone should visit and verify.

According to WSDOT Ferries social media, two Coast Salish welcome figures were recently installed in the ferry terminal. These could be tagged with tourism=artwork and artwork_type=totem_pole if someone can survey the building to find them.

A friend sent me a picture of a totem pole at this location, and I confirmed it via Mapillary. But I don't know much about Taiwanese totem poles. If anyone has local knowledge about these carvings, please add more information to this feature. Thank you!

According to the North Shore Totem Pole Trail there should be a totem pole somewhere in Cates Park. I do not think it is the same one that OSM already has mapped at the NW corner of the park on Dollarton Highway, there is probably another one somewhere inside the park. Does anyone happen to know where it is? https://www.vancouversnorthshore.com/vancouvers-north-shore-totem-pole-trail/
