Memorial totem pole to be returned to Nisga’a nation

It’s a special day for the people of the Nisga’a nation in northwestern B-C.

A memorial totem pole, stolen from their territory almost a century ago, is being returned by the National Museum of Scotland.

Community leaders say the return is an act of reconciliation that can open other

They add it helps the Nisga’a re-establish their link with their past.
