The #FirstNation says the objects have come from former #Snuneymuxw communities that are now in downtown #Nanaimo, #DepartureBay, #GabriolaIsland, #Cedar, #DukePoint & #NanaimoRiver.

The Nation’s chief says there's big plans for all the art & #artifacts once the Nation #repatriates all of their #cultural pieces from #RoyalBCMuseum & other #museums from around the world that have Snuneymuxw artifacts.
