• According to HistoryLink.org, this Totem Pole was stolen by members of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce from the Tlingit Tribe, while the group was on a "Good Will" tour of southeast Alaskan ports, sponsored by the Seattle Post Intelligencer. 8 men were indicted in Federal court but never served papers -- and the suit was later dismissed by a U.S. District Court judge, as one of his first acts in office, after he was "entertained at the Rainier Club" while visiting Seattle. The Tlingits wanted $20,000 for the stolen item -- the Seattle Post-Intelligencer ended up paying them $500. After the original was damaged by fire in 1938, it was replaced by a replica carved by the descendants of the people who created the original pole. circa 1908.
