Tsimshian “Good Luck” Totem Pole carved by George Mather Sr. (1918-1990). The “good luck” totem was a design that was created by the Tsimshian artists of New Metlakatla, Alaska.

According to Eli Tait, the likely inventor of the “good luck” design, it tells the story of the “Boy Who Fed the Eagles,” an ancestor of the Tsimshian Laxsgiik, the Eagle Clan. Note on back. 25"
