Description
Summary:Members of the Tlingit Nation, including Daniel Johnson, far left, Randy Gamble, left, and Don Johnson, second from right, move the top of a recently returned bear clan totem pole into Angoon High School after 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. https://digscholarship.unco.edu/totem_teddy/1017/thumbnail.jpg
