Tribal symbols could be temples too (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
totem poles
'tribal symbols' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'could be temples too' is the wordplay.
'could be' indicates anagramming the letters.
'temples'+'too'='templestoo'
'templestoo' is an anagram of 'TOTEM-POLES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for totem poles that I've seen is " symbolic importance".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
