How a Wet’suwet’en Totem Pole Wound Up in Paris: Inside a generational journey of reconnection and education by Amanda Follett Hosgood.
"The totem pole stands in the entryway of France’s Musée du Quai Branly, tall and elegant but somewhat out of place — the contours of its weathered exterior in stark contrast with its clinical surroundings.
Known as the K’ëgit pole, it stands 15 metres tall, rooted in the museum’s lower level and extending into the main-floor foyer. Strangers entering the museum breeze past, often without a glance. Its grace is paired with a loneliness. For nearly a century, the pole has been separated from its people.
But the pole’s family recently came to visit."
