Event Description
Professor of Anthropology Dr. Sally McBeth will present information about “Totem Teddy” (a Tlingit totem pole) that was UNC’s mascot between 1914 and 2004 and the reason why we became known as the Bears. Topics will include a brief history of the Bear Clan totem that was returned to its rightful owners, the Tlingit tribe of Alaska, in 2004 and the 1990 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act that provided for the legal claim for this return. Additionally, photos of the Tlingit festivities that surrounded the return of this long-lost totem pole will be included.
