The Tlingit Wolf Totem is at the University of Fairbanks, Alaska. This painting was based on a picture taken a number of years ago by the Alaskan photographer Patrick Endres. Background info on original totem: "In October 1988, 20 men carried the Wolf Totem Pole: Everyone's Grandfather across the frozen UAF campus. That night the totem was raised in a traditional Tlingit ceremony. The 20-foot pole is made of western red cedar from Ketchikan and features the three figures of eagle, wolf, and bear. This particular totem pole honors the traditional teaching method of a master artist working alongside his apprentices. "
