Wolf Pole

It's not clear whether the top figure on this pole is meant to be a watchman or the pole's owner. Below him is a wolf with pointed ears and a protruding tongue and at the bottom is a salmon. The pole is a replica carved by Reggie Peterson in 1982. The original was collected from Prince of Wales Island in 1903.
