Close to 300 Nisga’a cultural artifacts will be returned to the Nisga’a Nation today at a ceremony in Greenville, items that have been repatriated from the Museum of Civilizaation in Gatineau, Quebec and from the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria.
The transfer marks the first time that the Nisga’a have repatriated their items under the terms of the Nisga’a Final Agreement, a process they have been working on with both museums for a number of years now…
I think we’re streaming live until Friday afternoon, or whenever the Special Assembly is over. We’re also recording the stream, and will post it on the above website, youtube, facebook & twitter feeds.
