The Tea

Okay, so listen up, fam. The Vatican Museums just did a major flex, but like, in a good way. Pope Leo XIV (yeah, there's a new Pope in town) decided to bless Canada by sending back 62 Indigenous artifacts. These aren't just any old things, these are pieces with history, dating back like 100 years when they were put on display at the Vatican for some missionary exhibit back in '25. It lowkey looks like these items were sent by Pope Francis before he left.

Turns out, the MΓ©tis National Council, the Assembly of First Nations, and the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami have been fighting for these items to be returned. It's all part of trying to heal the past with the residential schools situation and all that heavy stuff. The Holy See dropped a statement saying it's all about "dialogue, respect, and fraternity." Deep.

The artifacts include a rare Western Arctic sealskin kayak. Imagine that! They're gonna be shipped to the Canadian Museum of History in December. After, these pieces are being handed to the Indigenous Organizations so they can vibe with their originating communities. The Canadian ambassador is saying this is a huge step towards fixing things. Fr fr.

Like, can you imagine finding out your ancestors' stuff was just chilling in a museum in another country all this time? Wild. Big ups to everyone who made this happen, this is awesome for Indigenous people in Canada.
