A towering skylit Tsimshian totem pole (a gift from the Indian College Fund) in W+K’s Portland office symbolizes a sacred partnership and value system. At the base of the totem are two frog figures that represent the older and younger generations of W+K whose job it is to communicate the message of the Fund through media just as frogs do with their songs and calls in nature.
