| Summary: | Members of the Tlingit Nation, including Alan Zuboff, left, and Garfield George, "warm" a recently returned Bear Clan Totem pole during a welcoming ceremony in Angoon, Alaska, Saturday, Nov. 1, 2003. The totem disappeared from the village in 1908 to reappear in Greeley, Colo., as a gift from the secretary of education for Alaska. The Tlingit village of Angoon was leveled by the U.S. Navy in 1882 after an alleged cultural misunderstanding. In the foreground sits the prow of the only canoe to survive the attack, found in the collection of a museum in New York. https://digscholarship.unco.edu/totem_teddy/1009/thumbnail.jpg |
