After it disappeared from their village in 1929, the fate of the G'psgolox pole was unknown to the Haisla people for over sixty years. This film reveals the Haisla's 1991 discovery of the pole in a Stockholm museum, where it is considered state property by the Swedish government. The documentary traces the journey of the Haisla to reclaim the traditional mortuary pole, and raises questions about the ownership and meaning of Aboriginal objects held in museums.
