All that is remaining of the downtown landmark Chief Theater in Pocatello is this restored sign located in a parking lot. I wonder to what extend it is now considered a symbol of cultural appropriation. Given that different cultures naturally interact and borrow or absorb ideas, how precisely can “cultural appropriation” be defined?
“We think the restoration of that sign is extremely important to the history of this community. We’re going to move ahead with it.” – Randy Dixon
