Seaton Totem Pole, Aberdeen City

Back in the autumn of 2005 staff at Seaton Community Project were asked by a member of the Aberdeen City Council Arts Development Team if they were interested in being part of a project to create a totem pole in their area working alongside First Nation Canadian woodcarvers led by Kenny Grieves from Brotus Crafts in Fife. This seemed a really good way to take forward a number of our priorities for the area, including the fostering of a strong community spirit, raising awareness of different cultures and developing a range of skills in the community.

clealry you sympathise with his comments fionndan - are you a mason too?

[beardedmeteor]

@fionndan it appears interpretation wasn't your strong point in english class...

[fionndan]

@beardedmeteor To call his comment xenophobic is to read something into it which is not there. He raises a point about the poles relevance. He disagrees with you it would seem. It does not make him a xenophobe.
