Photo: Uncovering an eagle

Joe Young, left, and his brother, TJ, work on a 36-foot eagle totem pole Monday at the University of Alaska Southeast. The brothers, from Hydaburg, have until Sept. 1 to carve and paint the pole before it is erected on campus in 2010. Sealaska Corp. donated the 45-foot red cedar log for the project, which will be managed by Sealaska Heritage Institute.The pole will feature an eagle to represent all Eagle clans plus Shark, Wolf and Thunderbird.
