PORTLAND — After restoration, a 55-year-old totem pole crafted by Chief Lelooska will be rededicated Friday at the Oregon Zoo.
The 10:30 a.m. ceremony at the Great Northwest section of the zoo will include members of the Southwest Washington artist’s family, who took part in the project.
The totem pole was created in 1959 by Don Smith, an Indian carver and storyteller known as Chief Lelooska.
Another totem pole, created by father-and-son artists Rex and Ray Losey, also will be rededicated after restoration.
