Tótem canadiense de Chapultepec, Indigenous monument in Chapultepec Park, Mexico.
The cedar wood totem pole reaches 11 meters in height and features traditional carvings of marine serpents, otters, and a Thunderbird at its peak.
The Canadian government presented this totem pole to Mexico in 1960 to mark the 150th anniversary of Mexican independence.
Indigenous artist Mungo Martin from the Kwakwaka'wakw nation carved this totem pole, incorporating black, red, green, white, and yellow traditional colors.
The totem pole stands in the First Section of Chapultepec Park, accessible through the Quebradora gate from Tuesday to Sunday between 5:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
The two-headed sea serpent Sisuitl depicted on the totem represents the duality between good and evil in Kwakwaka'wakw mythology.
