Ellen Neel’s Kakaso’las totem pole relocation

We are coordinating with the University of British Columbia’s Museum of Anthropology (MOA) and Kwakwaka'wakw artist Ellen Neel's family to relocate the Kakaso’las totem pole. 

The pole will move from Brockton Point in Stanley Park to the museum on September 4, 2024.
