 Gazing up at the pole's depictions of bears, ravens and eagles, you can also spot a representation of the spirit Gurgeta. Marnie tells me that Gurgeta is a supernatural being the Haider believed to be too strong to die. I like to think our spirit, the Haider spirit, was also too strong to die, Marnie tells me, as we gaze up at the mute faces staring out from the wood.
