Notes: This piece is based on the interior pole in the Yahgulanaas Lineage principle house in Klinkwaan Alaska.

Two young Yaghjaanaas were rescued by their Uncles from the plagues that swept through the town of Jaalun River, Haida Gwaii. They spent years living in the sanctuary offered by this house. The girls would later become the great/grandmothers for all of Charles Edenshaw's children including notables such as the Edenso/Edenshaw Chiefs (Morris White, Jim Hart) and artists such as Robert Davidson, Christian White, Isabella Rorick, Merle Anderson, Lisa Hageman (emerging weaver), myself and many many more Haidas.

This pole was the doorway into the Nangitlagadaas' sleeping chambers.
