A totem pole is a cultural monument representing clan history and ancestral stories, crafted by Indigenous peoples, while a history book provides a structured account of events and cultures meant for education. Totem poles engage viewers through visual storytelling, whereas history books are text-based and typically serve a solitary learning purpose. Together, they illustrate different ways of understanding and reflecting upon human experiences and identities.
