The Vatican returns Indigenous artifacts. 🙌🏼 After three years of negotiations, 62 Indigenous cultural belongings — taken to Rome nearly a century ago for a 1920s Vatican exhibition — have finally come home. The items arrived in Montréal on Saturday, December 6, 2025, marking a monumental step in restoring stolen history to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. Among the belongings are moccasins, ceremonial items, and a rare Inuvialuit seal-skin kayak — one of only five known to exist. Originally collected by missionaries for a Vatican world exhibition in the 1920s, these items remained in museum vaults for nearly a century. “This is only the beginning… we won’t rest until all our artifacts are home,” said AFN National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak. Indigenous youth accompanied the belongings on their flight home, while Elders, knowledge keepers, and survivors offered ceremony in Rome as the items were prepared for their journey. How awesome is this?! Share your thought...
