¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ professor champions Indigenous cultural preservation by Deirdre Kelly.
"In a powerful intersection of art, history and Indigenous rights, Ann Marie Murnaghan, a professor in the Children, Childhood and Youth Program at ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ, is leading a groundbreaking research project focused on the K’ëgit totem pole.
This monumental piece of Indigenous art stands approximately 16 metres tall (about 52 feet) and is crafted from western red cedar. It represents the rich cultural heritage of the Witsuwit’en Nation in northern British Columbia and features intricate carvings that depict the story of K’ëgit, a supernatural figure of profound cultural and spiritual significance to the Witsuwit’en people."
