Royal B.C. Museum responds to accusations of racism
Lucy Bell, Head of Indigenous Collections and Repatriation at the Royal B.C. Museum and a member of the Haida Nation, stops to touch a Haida mortuary pole replica after it was removed from its base and lowered to the ground outside the museum, in Victoria, B.C., on Wednesday June 5, 2019. The totem, carved by Mungo Martin and erected in 1955, was taken down because it had become a safety risk due to internal rot. It's being taken to Fort Rupert, where Chief David Mungo Knox of the Kwakiutl First Nation, the great-grandson of Mungo Martin, will facilitate the next stage of the pole's journey. The current plan is for it to stay in Fort Rupert, where it can serve as a reference for carvers while Chief Knox continues discussions with the descendants of the Haida clan.
