    In early July of 2002, Lummi tribal member Jewell Praying Wolf James (Indian Name: tse-Sealth, a lineal descendant of Chief Seattle) began carving an old growth cedar log donated by Crown Pacific Limited Partnership of Portland, Oregon.  Mr James, a Northwest Coast Spirit Dancer, master carver and President of the House of Tears Carvers, volunteered to carve a traditional Healing Pole dedicated to the memory of those who were killed at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The Healing Pole was placed on September 7, 2002 in Arrow Park, in the 20,000-acre Sterling Forest, one hour north of Manhattan.

    In September of 2003, a second carving, named the Honoring Pole (pictured at left) was delivered by the Lummi delegation to the site of the crash of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

    Now, the final totem memorial, a linked pair     named the Liberty and Freedom Poles, has completed its cross-country journey for placement at the Pentagon, September 19th, 2004.
