of “wokery and hypocrisy” after it was revealed it will cost £300,000 to return a “stolen” totem pole to Canada.
The Herald on Sunday previously revealed that the Scottish Government nearly called off the transfer of the Ni'isjoohl Memorial Pole to the Nisga'a Nation after it was estimated it would cost £710,000 to do so, including creating a replica pole to keep on display in Edinburgh. Stephen Kerr , Scottish Tory MSP for Central Scotland region, claimed the funding row was “just the latest example of SNP wokery and hypocrisy”.“But now we learn that behind the scenes his government was desperately trying to weasel out of paying for it, despite promising to do so, and tried to leave the national museum high and dry.“They made this decision with no idea how it would be paid for but then managed to find £300,000 when it became clear they faced a major embarrassment.
After months of preparatory work, a delegation of family members from the Nisga’a Lisims Government travelled to Edinburgh to oversee the start of the pole’s return.
