‘Bringing back identity’: Memorial totem pole raised on Orange Shirt Day
The Kermode Friendship Society raised a totem pole on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Sept. 30 in front of its Waaps Sagayt K’uulm Goot multi-purpose building at 4714 Park Ave. in Terrace.
“It was an emotional journey while working on this pole. I’m hoping that this pole tells its story in itself.” “This is an amazing project that happened and it’s been such an emotional experience to see this. I’ve been touched. There’s healing going on today,” Albright said, adding that residential schools will never happen again.
There are figures of the mother and children and Bevan explained you can see that the children are sad, one holding a book representing separation from culture and separation of identity.
