Social Cohesion Minister, Dr George Norton has revived discussions to have a 50-foot totem pole erected near the Umana Yana, and stated that the process must be expedited.
A release from the Ministry noted that talks regarding the initiative began in 2015, and were founded on discussions related to the preservation of the country’s indigenous culture. However, at the time, the discussions were being led by Minister Nicolette Henry and Minister of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs, Sydney Allicock.
