At some point between the night of Sept. 19-xx, someone cut a pocket-size clamper of the 55-pes statue and now the museum is calling on anyone with data about the incident to come forward.
The pine structure, carved by Charles Joseph, honours the Indigenous children who were forced to endure the horrors of Canada's residential school system.
