<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 11622833, member: 55&quot;]The story:</p><p><b>&quot;Once there was an Indian village between the Nass and the Skeena River,&nbsp; and there was a Chief in this village who had a nephew who was going to take his place....&nbsp;&nbsp; When he was supposed to be drying fish for the winter, the nephew instead fed the fish to eagles on the beach, leading to fears that the people would go hungry in the winter, which in fact happened.&nbsp; However, the eagles brought food for the people, salmon and halibut, and the warehouses were filled.&nbsp;&nbsp; Thus the boy became chief, and the eagle became the family crest.&nbsp; The old chief was of the bear clan....&quot;</b></p><p>and so the bear appears on the totempole along with the eagle and salmon, and sometimes the boy&#039;s face is shown at the bottom.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
