Celebration marks repatriation of B.C. totem to Nuxalk Nation after century-long wait
A carved pole that embodies the history and culture of a B.C. First Nation is being welcomed back to its ancestral home, more than 100 years after it was taken.
Carved in the mid-1800s as an entrance pole to a long house, the Snow family pole was later used as a marker for a family grave but was taken without permission in 1913 and added to a collection of the Royal B.C. Museum.
