Sixty-two Indigenous cultural belongings from First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities in Canada have been returned by the Vatican in a significant step for reconciliation. The items arrived in Montreal on Saturday, December 6, 2025, a century after many were originally sent to Rome for a 1925 Vatican exhibition. The collection includes a rare, century-old Inuvialuit kayak used for beluga and whale hunts (believed to be one of only five in existence), an 1831 wampum belt, Cree embroidered gloves, masks, and weapons.
