The Province is committing $2 million to the Royal BC Museum to support all interested Aboriginal peoples in British Columbia seeking the return of their ancestral remains and belongings of cultural significance.
Premier Christy Clark announced the funding today at the third annual Cabinet-First Nations Leaders Gathering at the Vancouver Convention Centre. This commitment supports a plan that is being co-created with Aboriginal peoples in British Columbia, aimed at helping interested First Nations communities draw upon the resources of the Royal BC Museum, under the guidance of Prof. Jack Lohman.
