This model totem pole, by my grandmother, Ellen Neel, was recently returned to the family by a very nice lady from Seattle. Her late grandmother owned it since 1950, and the granddaughter wanted to see it returned to the family. Such a wonderful gesture.  It is being held by Ellen's great-granddaughter, Ellena Neel.
