Formerly administered by United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Washington, District of Columbia 1938-1959.
Remarks:
Totem Bight State Historical Park is listed with the National Register of Historic Places. In 1938, the United States Forest Service initiated a program in which Native totem poles were restored or duplicated. Native-American sculptors were hired for this work under the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). This pole is a replica of a CCC-era pole which relocated to the Totem Heritage Center in Ketchikan, Alaska. Ownership of the site passed from the federal government to Alaska in 1959 when Alaska became a state. IAS files include a brochure from Totem Bight and a Totem Pole Maintenance summary.
