Totem Pole (British Museum) : ウィキペディア英語版
Kayung totem pole

The Kayung totem pole is a totem pole made by the Haida people. Carved and originally located in the village of Kayung on Graham Island in British Columbia, it dates from around 1850. In 1903 it was bought by the British Museum from Charles Frederick Newcombe, and is a prominent exhibit in the Great Court of the British Museum.
==History==

The totem pole was obtained by the Museum in 1903, when the pole was about fifty years old. The craft of making totem poles, built as heraldic signs but misinterpreted by missionaries, was at that point in decline. It was purchased from Charles Frederick Newcombe,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/search_the_collection_database/search_object_details.aspx?objected=531847&partid=1&searchText=totem&fromADBC=ad&toADBC=ad&numpages=10&orig=%2fresearch%2fsearch_the_collection_database.aspx¤tPage=14 )〕 who sold a large number of totem poles to museums in Europe. The provenance of the pole was certain as the Museum already had a model of it, provided by J.H.Keen, along with two photographs that showed the pole in its original location.〔
Before being sold to collectors, the pole was located in a village called Kayung on Graham Island in British Columbia's Haida Gwaii archipelago. Kayung had been an important village for the Haida before European contact.〔 After the population was decimated by successive smallpox epidemics in the late 1800s, Henry Wiah, the town chief, encouraged the remaining population to move to nearby Masset. The village was in the process of being abandoned in 1884, when Richard Maynard photographed it, identifying fourteen houses.〔(Kayung ), Museum of Canadian Civilization, Ottawa, ON, retrieved 10 December 2013〕
