The Assembly of First Nations sponsored the carving of a 10ft totem pole by Dewey Smith, which was donated to the OneXOne Foundation and was auctioned off, by Matt Damon, at their September 8th, 2008 Gala during the Toronto International Film Festival. The OneXOne Foundation is committed to supporting, preserving and improving the lives of children in Canada, and around the world.
This is not culturally relevant to the coastal natives that own the rights to these stories, In the old days telling someone else's story without there permission would mean war if you didn't put up a feast, A pole has many stories that is a families property. Although very generous of you to donate it, although you should know more about the coastal culture before you post this.
