Description : In 1957 eleven of the best preserved poles of SGang Gwaay were removed and shipped to museums in the south. Despite this, the village is considered to provide the most magnificent display of standing Haida Mortuary poles in the world and in 1981 was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. In 1995 a number of the poles were straightened to prolong the period before they return naturally to the earth.
