B.C. Nisga'a totem on display at Scotland museum since 1930 is heading home

Summary by Ground News

The National Museum of Scotland says it will return a memorial totem pole taken nearly a century ago. A delegation of Nisga'a leaders travelled to Edinburgh last August to request the transfer of the 11-metre pole back to their territory. Chief Earl Stephens says their people believe the pole, which was hand-carved in the mid-1800s, is alive with the spirit of an ancestor.
