The Knowledge Totem Pole is a totem pole carved by Coast Salish artist Cicero August and sons Darrel and Doug August, installed outside the British Columbia Parliament Buildings, in Victoria, British Columbia.[1] The pole was originally created for the 1994 Commonwealth Games.[2]
The Knowledge Totem Pole was first restored in 2007 by Doug August Sr. (Hul'qumi'num: Sume'lh). It was refurbished again in 2021 under the supervision of Doug August Jr.
The totem pole consists of (from top to bottom) a loon, a fisher, the bone player, and a frog.[3]
