Inscription.
The L’uknax.ádi, who are the Raven moiety, are identified as the Coho clan. The name derives from a salmon stream south of Klawock. They separated from the Gaanaxteidi clan after they migrated to the Chilkat area. The L’uknax. Ádi are also interrelated with the T’akdeintaan. In today’s ceremonies, these clans commonly shout “Tleix’ L’uknax.ádi!” (“One Coho!”) to acknowledge their common ancestry and relationship.

DESIGNS
The designs on the L’uknax.ádi totem pole include White Frog, which was obtained through a supernatural encounter, Raven, Coho, and a clan member.
