Perry is shown measuring his sketch for the woman design. Perry explained the math that goes into their poles, as they measure their designs to scale.The woman is a symbol of the Tsawout Nation's matriarchal ways and represents Perry and Tom's mother. She is a symbol of strength and resilience for them as she attended residential school. 

While watching Tom and Perry sketch the frog design onto the pole, you were witnessing their strong connection and unique work ethic that comes from years of working together and their brotherly bond. They would pass the pencil back and forth, each adding in their own style with their individual talents. 

When doing the initial shaping on the pole,  Perry asked Tom to come and see an idea he had. He noticed there was an empty space in their design and Perry had the idea to add a frog, a symbol of the conscience to the Tsawout Nation. Tom agreed with Perry and they began sketching a frog design onto the pole. 

To make sure they are cutting in a straight and even line across the pole they use a chalk line. This helps them know if they need to adjust their grip or height. 

In order to saw around the whole circle they use a mechanical jack to lift and rotate the log.

In order for the pole to have the proper dimensions, Tom and Perry had to  measure a circle on both sides of the log and then use a saw to cut off the excess wood.

Crayfish are small shrimp-like crustaceans that are usually 6-9 inches long. They have a segmented body, with variations or different sandy colours. Crayfishes ideal habitats are lakes, rivers, springs, or seasonally wet habitats such as roadside ditches. Sometimes they will live in dry areas. They spawn in late summer, or early fall or spring.

Leeches have soft but muscular bodies with two suckers, one on each end. Colouring varies, but usually tends to be darker with blotches, stripes, or spots. Average size is around 50 mm long. They prefer to live in shallow streams, creeks, or lakes. Leeches reproduce individually, they can all produce eggs which they attach to a surface underwater.
