The ceremonial gear of the Potlach collection, which had been confiscated by the government, has been returned to these people who now rejoice over their lost treasures.~The film includes sequences on Village Island, where a mass arrest had occured in 1921; native artists re-creating potlach objects out of wooden carvings; opening day of the Potlach exhibition at U'Mista Cultural Centre in Alert Bay; local people teaching the Kwak'wala language to the children of Alert Bay; and comments delivered by Gloria Cranmer Webster, Curator of the museum, and senior members of the Namgis band. <28mn>Langue :EnglishRemarques :Détails de l'inventaire : -
