These are K'san Village house posts which are to be found just inside the entrance to the main Spadina subway station. Installed in 1979 and carved from British Columbia cedar by artists from the Gitksan Tribe of Hazelton B.C., the posts represent an owl, wolf, and hawk. House posts are much shorter than totem poles and were traditionally used as support posts inside a house.
