Lincoln Totem Pole Honors Big Man At Top in Alaska
In Saxman near Ketchikan a 50-foot cedar totem carries a Lincoln figure atop a stripped shaft with a winged base, reflecting Raven clan history tied to Alaska's transition from Russian rule. Three Lincoln totems remain, preserved in Juneau, Illinois, and Saxman, honoring the era when Lincoln’s anti-slavery stance influenced Tlingit legends.
