To say a totem pole raising in the community of Sik-e-dakh is a rarity would be an understatement.
For the first time in post-colonial times, a pole was recently raised on the reserve previously known as Glen Vowell.
The pole is a community pole, intended to welcome visitors to the village of just over 200 situated 10 kilometres north of Hazelton on the edge of the Kispiox Valley, according to Lorraine Hnidan-Kendall.
