CBC News article on the delegation's visit to Paris


Wet'suwet'en delegation travels to Paris to reconnect with cultural treasure: The K’ëgit totem pole, which once stood in a Wet'suwet'en village, is now housed at the Quai Branly Museum by CBC News with files from CBC's Shaurya Kshatri and The Early Edition.

"A First Nation in B.C. recently reconnected with a powerful piece of their cultural history — nearly a century after it left their land. 

A delegation from the Wet'suwet'en Nation travelled to Paris last month to see the K'ëgit totem pole, now housed at the Quai Branly Museum. 

Standing about 16 metres tall, the pole depicts the story of K'ëgit, a supernatural figure central to the House of Many Eyes clan of the Wet'suwet'en, says hereditary chief Ron Mitchell, who was part of the delegation."
