Dogfish and Octopus Housepost. Totem. One of two dogfish houseposts that stood at the rear of Chief Shakes clan house (X'atgu.hi't- the Dogfish House), opposite from and facing toward the entryway. The main figure is a mudshark or dogfish, its head pointed upward & body/tail below. Subsidiary creatures on each side represent an octopus. Large sections of the lower figures were chopped away at an unknown early date. See file for more details.
