Vatican Returns Indigenous Artifacts to Canada

The Vatican returns 62 artifacts to Indigenous peoples from Canada, marking a significant step in addressing historical cultural suppression. These items, originally presented to Pope Pius the Eleventh, were part of the Vatican Museums ethnographic collection. Following Pope Francis meeting with Indigenous leaders, negotiations gained momentum, leading to the return of these artifacts during the Holy Year. The Canadian Catholic hierarchy will ensure their proper safeguarding and preservation for the Indigenous communities.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
