The wooden sculpture depicts a beaver holding a chewing stick with intersecting shadows on its tail. The beaver symbolizes creativity, artistry, and determination, and was created around 1860. It is currently a collection of the Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. The homeland of the Haida people is located in the Queen Charlotte Islands off the Pacific coast of Canada, separated from the Black Carter Strait and the North American continent, and facing the Alexander Islands of Alaska in the Dixon Strait. It stretches nearly 300 kilometers along the province of Columbia in northwestern Canada. The Haida people used to have no writing, they recorded the stories and legends of their ancestors by carving totem poles.
