The 400-Year-Old, 12-Meter Spine of Stanford: A Haida Heritage

#Ancient relics

For four centuries, this 400-year-old tree stood tall as the Haida Circle Ike of Stanford, California, USA. Now an elder at Stanford University, it looms with spectral vigilance over the law school.

The Stanford Legacy, a testament to Haida craftsmanship, resides on the Stanford University campus. This relic, carved from a Western red cedar older than 400 years, towers at 12 meters. It's a ghostly sentinel, quietly watching over the law school. In 2013, it underwent a facelift, getting a fresh coat of paint and a good cleaning to maintain its famed position.
