Thunderbird Park (Victoria, British Columbia)

Thunderbird Park in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, is next to the Royal British Columbia Museum and home to many totem poles (mostly Gitxsan, Haida, and Kwakwakaʼwakw) and other First Nation monuments. The park takes its name from the mythological Thunderbird of Indigenous North American cultures, which is depicted on many totem poles. Also in the park are St. Anne's Schoolhouse (built 1844), Helmcken House (built in 1852 by Dr. John Helmcken), and Mungo Martin House (Wawaditʼla), a traditional Kwakwakaʼwakw "big house" built in 1953 by Kwakwakaʼwakw Chief Mungo Martin. The park is part of the Royal BC Museum Cultural Precinct, an area around the museum that contains a number of historical sites and monuments.
