Creation to Cross Totem Pole TM

Visually tells the story of creation, the fall, and redemption.



Written language is a fairly recent development for the Indians of the Pacific Northwest. Interestingly, they used oral tradition and totem poles to pass along their history from generation to generation. Totem poles visually recorded personal or family stories. They could be used to honor an individual or even mark a grave site. Totem poles were not used as idols or for worship.

The Creation to Cross Totem Pole tells the seven day creation story on one side and the fall to redemption story on the opposite side. During class-time read the creation and fall account from a child-friendly Bible. Point out that Genesis 3:15 records the first mention that "Someone" will come to defeat our adversary, Satan. Thousands of years later this came true when Jesus defeated Satan by his death and resurrection; thereby providing our redemption and salvation!
