Carved of large, straight red cedars and painted in vibrant colours, totem poles are representative of coastal Canadian indigenous cultures. A raven sits on top of this pole: Text from the plaque at the totem pole display: `Ravens frequently appear in First Nations` stories and are often featured on poles. This pole tells the story of a selfish chief who long ago had stolen the sun, moon, and starts and was keeping them in a box in his home. Raven, being a trickster and lover of shiny things, swooped in, grabbed the sun in his beak and dropped it in the sky, returning light to the world.` Some of the totem poles in Capitano Suspension Bridge Park are newly carved by James Lewis and Wayne Carlick.
