Brazil has celebrated the return of a sacred cloak belonging to the indigenous Tupinambá people, which had been taken during colonial times and resided in Denmark for nearly four centuries. The cloak, crafted from 4,000 feathers of the scarlet ibis, was handed over at a ceremony attended by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who emphasized the importance of preserving Indigenous heritage. This event marked not only the return of an artifact but also a significant cultural and spiritual reunion for the Tupinambá, who view the cloak as a living ancestor integral to their identity. The emotional ceremony included traditional rituals, with community members expressing the need for greater recognition and protection of Indigenous lands amidst ongoing issues such as illegal mining. The return of the cloak symbolizes a broader commitment by the Brazilian government to recover Indigenous cultural artifacts and support land rights. Activists note that this repatriation is a step towards addressing historical injustices faced by Indigenous communities in Brazil.
