A good ending to a terrible story where a wrong is finally made right. Bugs the hell out of me that the BBC put the word "stolen" in quotes, to imply that it may not have been.

A 36ft (11m), one-tonne totem pole will be returned to the Nisga'a Nation, one of the indigenous groups in what is now known as British Columbia on the west coast of Canada.

The totem pole has been in Scotland for almost a century since it was sold to the museum by Canadian anthropologist Marius Barbeau.

However, Nisga'a researchers say it was stolen without consent while locals were away from their villages for the annual hunting season.
