| Eagle and monkey totem in the potlatch (a native carnival). The Potlatch had been banned in the early 20s because the Canadian Government called them "immoral" and "waste of time". It seemed to relate to church influence but people seemed to avoid mentioning that to prevent religious conflict. Anyway, the ban was lifted after the 60s and the natives were encouraged to take back their dance. |
