The Healing Totem on the waterfront in
#Whitehorse.
It took carvers spent 20 weeks to craft this totem. Each wood chip was gathered as a symbol of those impacted by residential schools and substance abuse, later burned in a ceremony, with some ashes placed in the totem. The totem was carried through Whitehorse to its home, where it was raised in a community-led ceremony in 2012—a lasting reminder of shared healing and resilience.
