While I remember seeing totem poles in Indian curio stores when I was a kid in Oklahoma and New Mexico, historically the crafting and display of totem poles were limited to tribes in the Pacific Northwest, from modern day WA, on up the Canadian coast and into Alaska. The Totem Heritage Center has one of the largest collections of unrestored totem poles from history. They seem to place a very high priority on preservation, as opposed to the crafting of new ones (as seems to be the emphasis in WA and some other places).
