Welcome Figure

Cluxewe Campground, Vancouver Island, BC

With his outstretched arms, this carving displays a traditional Coast Salish symbol of welcome. Welcome Figures were traditionally erected outside the entrance of a Coast Salish community, signalling to visiting people, with their outstretched arms free of weapons, that they were welcome to enter as guests.
