Do you ever feel GUIDED? Well I am in every step of my life these days. Today, while on a walk, I discovered the Centennial totem pole. When I came home to research it (native indian art and especially HUMMINGBIRDS have been very prominent in my life lately). To my surprise, when I "googled" the totem pole the first link was to a geocache site. Very interesting! So I looked closely at the site and realized that geocaching was all about finding "TREASURES". The words "treasure" /"treasure chest", "COINS" (for coincidence) and "MAGIC MOMENTS" are all key in my life as well. It turns out that the "first" treasure placed in the cache at the Centennial totem pole was a "coin"!

I haven't looked for the box with the treasure yet as I don't have GPS but clearly I don't need one. I have absolute faith that there is something of "value" to me in this box.

It is with great anticipation that I wait to find out who started the cache at the CENTENNIAL TOTEM POLE.

The Museum of Anthropology opened its doors to the public today after a six-month closure for renovations and “innovations.”

The $55-million, 2-year-long renewal project won’t be fully completed until January 2010, but significant portions of the renovations, including a thoughtfully redesigned entry and Great Hall, and a new addition housing a 41,000 square foot research wing are complete.

“Our designers, installers and the whole crew has been working around the clock to get ready,” said MOA communications manager Jennifer Webb as she steps over plywood boards that covers what will soon be a mosaic by artist Susan Point at the museum’s entry.

Tomorrow’s Phase One opening features the iconic Great Hall, which houses carvings and totems of the Haida, Kwakwaka'wakw, Gitxsan, Nisga'a, Haisla, and Oweekenois people. The thoughtfully re-conceived Great Hall is still the jewel of the museum, one of Arthur Erikson’s signature buildings.

“Stantec Architecture worked with Erikson on the redesign to ensure that changes and additions were true to the original design language of the building,” said Webb.

In the Great Hall visitors will be able to get closer to the totem poles and there will be more touchable objects, including a Bill Reid Canoe and bear.

“About 75 per cent of our original spaces have been renovated and expanded,” said Webb.

In May, Bill Reid’s Rotunda with its display of The Raven and the First Men will be re-opened, and include a display of the Bill Reid gold that was stolen, and then returned to the museum. (Renovations include a security upgrade.)

When the final phase completes in January 2010, the museum’s “multiversity galleries,” a huge expansion to the previous visible storage gallery will open. The museum’s undisplayed collections will be available for public view in cases designed by Italy’s renowned Gippion Laboratorio. Gippion Laboratorio also designed cases for the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Mona Lisa.

The expanded research wing includes laboratories, airy storage wings, administration offices and the MOA’s unique Reciprocal Research Network.

The RRN, a groundbreaking digital record-keeping and network project will link eventually the museum’s collections with researchers, academics and communities of origin through a digital platform, making the collections globally accessible.

The renewal project also includes an expanded rentals program, and landscaping includes spaces with spectacular mountain views that can hold tents. “We’ll finally be available for weddings,” said Webb. “We get a lot of calls about that.”

Finally, on the northeast flank of the building, the reflecting pools that were an integral part of Erikson’s original design will finally be built. “We’re very excited to bring that to completion,” said Webb. “We didn’t have the funds previously, but Arthur Erikson’s supporters and others have come forward so we can complete the legacy.”

from from an article by Denise Ryan, Vancouver Sun 

The House of the Ghosts installation at the Vancouver Art Gallery is best seen at night and runs from October 4, 2008 to January 11, 2009.

Marianne Nicolson, a member of the Dzawada'enuxw Tribe of the Kwakwaka'wakw Nation, first came to prominence in 1998 when she scaled a vertical rock face in Kingcome Inlet to paint a 28 x 38-foot pictograph the first in the inlet for over sixty years to mark the continued vitality of her ancestral village of Gwa'yi. In a similarly monumental gesture, Nicolson's site-specific project The House of the Ghosts imaginatively transforms the Georgia Street facade of the Vancouver Art Gallery into a Northwest Coast ceremonial house. Using high-powered lighting, Nicolson will project the vision of a house front and totem poles onto the Gallery facade from dusk to dawn every night. By altering the Gallery in this way, the building itself becomes a site of cultural exchange, emphasizing its importance as a transformative space while wryly commenting on its historic role as a courthouse and jail where, decades ago, First Nations peoples were punished for defying the government's Potlach ban. Nicolson sees this work as a positive and symbolic reassertion of a culture in a place where it was once forbidden, in a gesture that speaks to the vibrancy of Kwakwaka'wakw culture and the need to sustain it.

Haley at the Pender Harbor pole outside the Copper Bay Cafe (2008-11-09)!

This Squamish welcome figure is visible from the Lions' Gate bridge and can be seen from multiple locations on English Bay and from Stanley Park. We hid a geocache here and come here often to walk the dogs. It was carved by Sekwilm Siyan Sintl', Stan Joseph Jr., assisted by Wesley Nahanee and William Nahanee.This Welcoming Figure was raised at the first K'aya'chtn (gather of ocean canoes). The Squamish Nation dedicated this figure n July 25th, 2001 with a prayer to Welcome/Guardian Woman in gratitude to all our grandmothers.

This week, we decided to hide a geocache at the totem pole in Horseshoe Bay Park - as it seems we are spending alot of time travelling on the ferries this summer! Anne & Haley help me pick a hiding spot for this cache. This pole was carved by Chief William Jeffery and his son Rupert; dedicated in 1975 and depicts the Early History of the Great Northwest Coast Tsimshian Indian Nation.

This Totem pole is located at West Vancouver's Ambleside Beach and can be seen from the Lions Gate Bridge.

N 49° 16.109 W 123° 15.149

This totem pole is entitled "Victory Through Honour" and was carved by Kwickwasutaineuk artist Ellen Neel. "The pole tells of the five tests of Tsikumin, chief shaman of the Red Cedar Bark Dance and founder of Qui-Owa Sutinuk, ancestors of the carver. The Red Cedar Bark Dance was performed in Kitsilano Park during Vancouver's Jubilee in 1936." -from UBC Archives - Campus Sculptures You can read more about it in this news article on the Re-dedication of Thunderbird Totem at (visit link)

The totem symbolism is a nice touch!
