Yang Jing had no resistance to these handicrafts full of strong Indian style. Of course, he also believed that if Gege was by his side, she would have jumped on them with a smile, then took out the money in her pocket and bought all these beautiful handicrafts.

That's right, given Gege's personality, she would definitely do that.

Similarly, why do two people end up together? One of the most important reasons is that they have the same vision and hobbies.

So, after Yang Jing looked at these exotic handicrafts, he stood up and said to the stall owner in a very imposing manner: "Please pack up all these lovely handicrafts. I want to buy all your handicrafts!"

Compared to Old John's horse harnesses, Yang Jing prefers these handicrafts. Moreover, giving these handicrafts back to friends as gifts is also a great choice.

The Indian boss didn't seem to understand what Yang Jing said, or maybe he thought Yang Jing was joking, so he asked hesitantly: "Sorry, sir, can you say it again?"

Chris stood up and said with a smile: "You heard it right just now. You don't have to doubt it. Our boss really wants to buy all the handicrafts here."

Chris's words made the Indian boss finally understand that the Asian man in front of him, who had black hair and yellow skin like himself, was not joking, he was serious.

The Indian boss excitedly shouted to his partner. Of course, he was speaking in the native Indian language, which even Chris and the others could not understand. However, judging from the expressions and actions of the Indian stall owners around him, they were obviously very happy about the deal, so they came to help.

The Indian stall owner had a total of about 150 pieces of handicrafts, in addition to three rolls of bark cloth, all of which were bought by Yang Jing for just over 10,000 US dollars.

Yang Jing thought that if he took these pure handicrafts back to give as gifts, they would not be enough, so he waved his hand generously and bought all the handicrafts from the four nearby Indian stalls.

There were five Indian stalls in total, and all the handicrafts cost Yang Jing only more than 50,000 US dollars in total.

This amount of money is nothing to Yang Jing, but it is a huge income for these Indians. Therefore, these Indian stall owners expressed their extreme gratitude to Yang Jing for his generosity.

However, when an elderly Indian man took out a small dark red totem pole, Yang Jing's eyes widened.

Yang Jing knew that the totem pole was the most important item in an Indian tribe. Although the totem pole taken out by the old Indian man in front of him was only a miniature one, it was also extremely rare.

In fact, the word "totem" originally comes from the transliteration of the word "totem" in the dialect of the North American Indians Ojibwa, which means "his relatives." For the Indians, totem worship is the earliest form of primitive religion, which appeared around the late Paleolithic period.

The core of totem worship is to believe that a certain animal, plant or inanimate object has a blood relationship with one's own clan and is the ancestor and relative of the clan, and thus worship it as the clan's mark, symbol and patron saint. Indians are a general term for all Native Americans except the Eskimos. Their ethnic composition is quite complex and their totems are also diverse.

The most important of these is the Thunderbird of Heaven. In Indian legends, the Thunderbird is the master of the "heaven". It can make itself invisible and appear in the form of a strong wind, appearing at the Indian winter festival. Usually on a totem pole, the Thunderbird is carved on a thick tree trunk, carved into two parts. The upper part is a bird with huge wings spread out, a hooked beak, and looks like an eagle; the lower part is four standing people leaning against each other, with round eyes, bulging, big mouths, drooping corners of the mouth, bare breasts, palms outward, and arms hanging close to the body.

Of course, there are many more totems besides the Thunderbird.

The totems of North American Indians are mostly animals, followed by plants. A tribe is divided into several different totem clans, and clans with the same totem are considered relatives. Clans with the same totem cannot marry each other.

Many clans carved totem images on wooden poles to make "totem poles". The general height of totem poles is about 30 meters, but some can reach 60 meters. These totem poles are usually erected in the most conspicuous places in the village as the symbol of the clan. Some clans paint totem marks on utensils and houses. The dance ceremony is often centered on the totem, and the dancers have to wear masks and costumes that simulate the totem.

Although totem poles are most prosperous in Indian settlements along the Pacific Northwest coast of North America, there are still many such totem poles in other Indian settlements in the United States or Canada.

Just like the miniature totem pole that the old Indian man took out, it should be the totem worship of a local Indian clan. Even if it is just a miniature totem pole, it is extremely precious.

This totem pole is only about 40 centimeters high and as thick as a bowl. There are four different animals carved on it, but Yang Jing couldn't recognize what these four abstract animals were no matter how hard he looked.

However, this miniature totem pole is obviously an old item. No one knows what kind of wood the dark red material is made of, but it is extremely heavy. Yang Jing feels that it is not much lighter than rosewood.

Moreover, the patina on it is also very thick, and it is definitely an old item that has been passed down for many years.
