Celebrations In Bella Coola after the return of the Nuxalk Nation's totem pole

The Nuxalk Nation is welcoming back a carved pole that was taken from the area more than 100 years ago. A ceremony is being held in the school gymnasium to welcome the pole back to the community. The totem pole was repatriated from the Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria. It will spend 12 months on display at the entrance to the school before it's placed in a permanent location on traditional territory.
