American Museum of Natural History had a precious Mowachaht/Muchalaht whaling shrine in storage for 120 years.
It's going home.
The shrine was in a secret location near Yuquot, which was also the point of first contact between European colonists and west coast Nations in Canada.
It is possible to visit Yuquot by taking the working-ferry from Gold River. Great day trip!
