Totem 2

Victoria's Spirit Square is situated at Centennial Square and features two Spirit Poles, known as the "Two Brothers" that serve as a gateway to this public space. Butch Dick was nominated by Chief Robert Sam of the Songhees Nation and Chief Andy Thomas of the Esquimalt Nation, to design and carve two, 5.5-metre (18-foot) cedar Spirit Poles to serve as a gateway to the Square's native plant garden. Titled "Two Brothers", one pole was designed and carved by Butch Dick with the assistance of his son Bradley, and the other was designed and carved by his son Clarence. Both poles are fashioned after traditional Coast Salish house posts.
