Cultural Repatriation
In 2006, the Haisla First Nation repatriated a sacred totem pole from Sweden's Museum of Ethnography, after a lengthy international campaign. Their successful efforts were documented in a film by Aboriginal filmmaker Gil Cardinal, entitled Totem: The Return of the G'psgolox Pole. In 2007 the second part entitled Totem: Return and Renewal was released.

Famous quotes containing the word cultural:
“By Modernism I mean the positive rejection of the past and the blind belief in the process of change, in novelty for its own sake, in the idea that progress through time equates with cultural progress; in the cult of individuality, originality and self-expression.”
—Dan Cruickshank (b. 1949)
