The figures on a totem pole are arranged from top to bottom, but the sequence of the figures is not an indication of their importance. The concept of “low man on the totem pole” is not an expression of Northwest Coast culture as position on the pole is not an indication of rank.

A totem pole typically features symbolic and stylized human, animal, and supernatural forms. Totem poles are primarily visual representations of kinship, depicting family crests and clan membership. Totem poles can also be created to honour a particular event or important person.

A “low man on the totem pole” is a person of no status or power, someone at the bottom of a hierarchy. According to Canadian naturalist Pat Kramer, an expert on First Nations culture, the lowest figures on the totem pole are often considered the most prestigious.

But traditionally, the bottom figure on a totem pole is the most important one. The head carver is in charge of this portion of the totem (the bottom 10 feet) since it is most visible and more detailed than the higher regions [source: Totem Poles: An Exploration].

Seeing a grey cat in a dream is less symbolically volatile as grey is a neutral, calming color. Dreaming of a grey cat means that you should try to take stock of what’s going on in the dream and try to figure out whether or not there’s a message arising from your subconscious that you should pay attention to.

Yes, it’s definitely possible. Although the lion is far more likely to beat the jaguar in a one-on-one fight, there is definitely a chance that the jaguar could kill a lion. Jaguars are extremely powerful for their size, and even have a stronger bite than lions.
