Getting the objective

First you must acquire $350,000 in cash to start the objective.

First Totem Piece

The first piece can be found on Polynesia, after you have gain a Notoriety of 125.

Second Totem Piece

The second piece is located in Central Russia after a Notoriety of 135.

Third Totem Piece

The third totem piece is located in the Middle East with a Notoriety level of 145.

Fourth Totem Piece

The fourth and final totem piece can be found in the West Coast once a Notoriety level of 155 is reached.

Completing The Task

Once all four pieces are acquired they should be placed near each other and they will form a new loot item, the completed Totem Pole.

Other Tips

The Totem must be completed BEFORE proceeding to the second island, as it cannot be combined once there.
Each piece will have negative attributes, much like Body Bags, until they are combined.
Storing the pieces in the Freezer will negate all negative attributes.

A few points on comments so far:
1. Yes, the freezer nullifies auras, both good and bad.
2. If you can not see a particular Totem Piece, and you have enough Notoriety, you may need to send over some Minions to do more Plotting in that region.
3. Don't keep the pieces in a non-freezer room, even if locked. Surprisingly, sometimes the negative aura can be felt on the other side of doors and walls. I once watched Mariana Mamba use her "Savage Allure" ability on the OUT side of my base, causing one of my minions IN side the base to defect!

The hint I had for this long ago was to (also like body bags) store them in a freezer room. Not sure if this helps the negative attributes - other than no minions go into the freezer for any other reason except putting bodybags there.

Also on this playthrough this time, it auto-assembled them for me (they were all in the same freezer, fairly close together (but not next to each other). I'm sure in the past you had to lay them in a line in the correct order, but I guess not anymore.

I got the 2nd, 3rd and 4th piece, but can't get the 1st piece which sucks.

Wish I saw this before I finished the game.
I kept the cursed pieces in the private room and let nobody in, simple.
Towards the end of the game when you have that one annoying agent that never leaves, you start to stop caring about everything and just want to finish the game!
