James Harry, a First Nations' carver from Squamish, is transforming a piece of yellow cedar into a House Post at Noon's Creek hatchery in Port Moody.
The post will depict two salmon swimming into the centre of the post to represent their importance to the area.
A House Post is meant to hold up a structure inside a Longhouse to share stories as First Nations in the Lower Mainland didn't have traditional totems.
Harry will be continuing to carve the post through November. It is part of a five-month long project by the Port Moody Ecological Society to recognize the area's First Nations' knowledge as part of a call to action by the Truth and Reconcilliation Commission.
