Tattooing on a Haida Man. (From Mallery.)

Many of the Northwest Coast tribes tattooed; generally the men were more

marked with this than women. The patterns were usually animal figures,

showing the man’s family. The Haida were fond of having these queer

pictures pricked into them. Upon their breasts they had the totem animal;

on their arms other suitable patterns.
