Boise Totems
Located on the northwest corner of 8th and Idaho Streets in downtown Boise, Boise Totems is a sculpture composed of three sheet bronze totems that stand 10, 11, and 12 feet in height. Conceived by Ketchum, Idaho artist Rod Kagan, the totems were constructed in 1992 and dedicated in 1993. This iconic sculpture takes inspiration from Native American totem structures and re-imagines them using contemporary forms.
