I also watched another film about Pacific coast native people trying to get a funeral totem pole (about 40' tall) that was taken from their village and brought to a museum in Sweden in 1929. Pretty interesting. Lots of good carving shots & cultural info. http://www.nfb.ca/film/bill_reid/ [ Edited by: drgoat456 2009-01-23 11:18 ] [ Edited by: drgoat456 2009-01-23 11:27 ]
