After almost a century and a journey of thousands of miles, a totem pole taken from Canada has returned home.
The Ni’isjoohl memorial pole has been in Scotland since it was sold to the National Museum by Canadian anthropologist Marius Barbeau in 1929.
However, researchers say it was stolen from the Nisga’a Nation without consent while locals were away from their villages for the annual hunting season.
It is the first totem pole to be returned from a British museum to an indigenous community – a potentially precedent-setting moment in the broader move towards museum repatriation.
