Long, long overdue. 🙏🏼
After decades of advocacy, the Vatican Museums will return dozens of sacred Indigenous items — taken or “gifted” during colonial-era missionary exhibitions in the 1920s — that have been held in their ethnological collection for nearly a century.
This marks one of the first major repatriations of Indigenous artifacts by the Catholic Church, following Pope Francis’ 2022 apology on Turtle Island.
