In the Spirit of the Ancestors-This model pole reproduces the figures from a late 19th century pole from the Haida village of Howkan in Southeast Alaska. The pole displays the wasgo, a supernatural sea wolf at the bottom, holding a killer whale; the bird-in-the-air who assisted the hero in capturing the wasgo; the young man who captured the wasgo and wore his skin; and the shaman mother-in-law of the young man who took credit for his work, holding her circular puffin-beak rattles.

Formline frog print in ink on off-white rectangular paper, oriented horizontally. The green frog with yellow highlights is stretched across the print. The frogs head is centred in the design, looking up with its black ovoid eyes and open mouth, revealing its red tongue. Red accents also appear on the frog’s body and legs. One of the frogs back legs is visible on the right side of the design in a bent position with its foot laid flat and knee pointing upwards.
