Fison is a pastor and a storyteller who has used wood to share spiritual lessons. Fison moved to Alaska in 1961 to serve United Methodist churches. A brief 1963 appointment to a congregation in the Tsimshian village of Metlakatla near Ketchikan sparked a lifetime interest in the native peoples of Alaska. Fison says he received spiritual inspiration to carve the Christmas and Easter stories in totem poles according to the traditions of Alaska's indigenous peoples. The Rev. David K. Fison, St. John United Methodist Church: I am always talking to God about it when I carve, seeking guidance. It s almost as though a tutor over my shoulder that is guiding me. Was I the carver or was I the tool that someone else was using? You never know. (Fison reading poem about totem pole) Now My friend, behold the carving! Now open up your soul, And you will hear the story Of the Easter totem pole. Now the ancient Tsimshian had books for all to see but when they wrote a story they carved it from a tree. Now I ve carved this sacred story After the ancient Tsimshian, Using only what they knew then, In terms they would understand. Smoked salmon was their bread; For grains in a rainforest will not grow. And let it be the howl of Wolf, For they had no cock to crow. Great Chief of the Heavens Was their Creator s name, And Raven was His messenger. To bring his word it seems. Eat! It s my body given for you! Berry juice is blessed and passed: Drink of this, all of you! It s my blood of a new treaty: For the forgiveness of sins you see! As oft as you do this, Do it to remember me! So keep Him as your Chief, my friend, And He will keep you whole. This fulfills the purpose of The Easter totem pole. Easter Totem Pole (Continued on page 2)
2 I m the Rev. David K. Fison, minister emeritus of St. John United Methodist Church in Anchorage, Alaska. The idea for my totem poles came from our experiences in southeast Alaska when I was pastor of Ketchikan 1961 through When I had the pole almost carved our pastor came by and said, Why don t you bring it to church then and I ll you do the preaching and you use the totem pole to tell the story for the sermon. So the Tuesday of Holy Week, the Methodist Men came to the house with a big trailer and we carted it down to the church. And when we arrived at the church, there were 20 Haida, Tlingit and Tsimshian natives in full regalia singing, drumming and chanting totem pole, welcome to the totem pole. A totem pole had never been welcome in church before. They were quite excited about it. It was just such a beautiful experience there the native people and they offered to adopt me into Tsimshian culture. Charley Bower, Native Alaskan: The story that they tell is heartwarming for us. People like Dave Fison saw that there are natives there with their own way of telling stories and relating to our Creator. David Fison: I needed to do it. Even though I felt that I didn t know how I was going to get it done. But I just had faith, Well, I got the Christmas one done and I ll use that same faith,' I m gonna get the Easter done. If you launch off in faith, prepare yourself as best you can, but don t wait til you re perfect, but begin, make a beginning. There s a story only you can write. Nobody else ll write it. If some worthy thing you want to do, I think that there are spiritual resources to help you do it. Tag: This March 2013 blog post by Victoria Emily Jones is a good source of information on both the Easter and Christmas totems. In 2002, UMTV brought you this video story about the Christmas totem pole which Dave Fison also carved. For more information contact St. John United Methodist Church in Anchorage, Alaska at This story was first posted on April 10, 2014.

5 We had a great meeting as we discuss Station 11 by Emily St. John Mandel. We had a great discussion on this book! In April we will be discussing Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski. Born mute, speaking only in sign, Edgar Sawtelle leads an idyllic life with his parents on their farm in remote northern Wisconsin. For generations, the Sawtelles have raised and trained a fictional breed of dog whose thoughtful companionship is epitomized by Almondine, Edgar's lifelong friend and ally. But with the unexpected return of Claude, Edgar's paternal uncle, turmoil consumes the Sawtelles' once peaceful home. When Edgar's father dies suddenly, Claude insinuates himself into the life of the farm and into Edgar's mother's affections. Grief-stricken and bewildered, Edgar tries to prove Claude played a role in his father's death, but his plan backfires spectacularly. Forced to flee into the vast wilderness lying beyond the farm, Edgar comes of age in the wild, fighting for his survival and that of the three yearling dogs who follow him. But his need to face his father's murderer and his devotion to the Sawtelle dogs turn Edgar ever homeward. David Wroblewski is a master storyteller, and his breathtaking scenes the elemental north woods, the sweep of seasons, an iconic American barn, a fateful vision rendered in Upcoming Book: Book Club the falling rain create a riveting family saga, a brilliant exploration of the limits of language, and a compulsively readable modern classic. Do you have a book you would like to discuss with others? We are always looking for new books to read!
