Summary:

Carved from the heart: Stan Marsden lost his son to a cocaine overdose and decided to create a totem pole in his son's memory, inviting the town of Craig, Alaska to help. "Intertwines the process of carving the Healing Heart Totem pole with participants' stories of involvement and healing ... death and dying, suicide, family relationships and parenting, substance abuse, family violence and the impact of the Vietnam War on veterans and their families ... shows the importance of ceremony and culture [in] facing tragedy and how communities can provide support to [their] members ... also acknowledges the intergenerational grief that grows out of rapid changes in lifestyle and interruptions [in] the passage of tradition and knowledge within Alaska Native and American Indian communities."--Publisher's catalog.
Words from the heart: ".. people from Alaska to the islands of the South Pacific comment on how Carved from the Heart has prompted emotional healing and encouraged unification and action within diverse communities ... intended to facilitate discussion of the life altering issues raised by Carved from the Heart."--Publisher's catalog.
