Discussion of John Barrymore’s theft of the pole (Kooteeya) from the unoccupied village of Tuxican, Prince of Wales Island, its subsequent travels and trophy display on the estates of Barrymore and later that of fellow actor Vincent Price, its incongruous transfer to the Honolulu Museum of Art, and its recent discovery there by Prof. Langdon in February, 2013 will highlight the presentation. Now stored in the basement of the Museum, the fate of the pole is presently being considered.
