33/365...Totem...


Totem Pole


                     This Totem Pole stands at the Marina in Port Orchard. The plaque at the foot of it reads:

Dedicated to
Gerald H. Grosso
"A Native Son"
1932-1988
Conservator, Councilman, Journalist
He retrieved and preserved the Ozette artifacts of the Makah civilization enabling posterity to better know and understand the rich Indian heritage of this area. He was given the Makah name of:
"HA TU BA DI"

The building behind it is the terminal for the Port Orchard Foot Ferry. It runs between PO and Bremerton. If you look real close you can see the Seattle Ferry at the Bremerton Dock.

Hope you like it and be sure to check out my runner up.  :)

    Very Cool Calma!! It is very indicative of the many historical things one can find in our beloved Washington. I love learning of the Native American history and legacy! Thank you for sharing it with us!!

    I LOVE totem poles! They're neat and kind of creepy at the same time.
