"I spend one day a week here, and one day a week in Kitsegukla. Contrary to general belief, the [Gitsxan] are still raising totem poles up here. Four or five are being made right now - and it is a vicious practice as it costs a fortune in terms of feasting and gifts to have one raised." -- note on back of photograph
