Totem Pole in Peninsula State Park
| The totem pole has a carved wooden bear clinging to the top. The totem pole was erected in 1927 in honor of the aboriginal inhabitants of Wisconsin. Potawatomi chief Simon Onanguisse Kahquados (1851-November 27, 1930), an historian and advocate of his tribe, was interred beneath a nine-ton boulder on the site on Memorial Day, 1931. Caption reads: "Totem Pole Peninsula State Park Wis." |
