335-year lost Tupinamba sacred cloak returned from Denmark to Brazil, supporting Indigenous reclamation efforts.

The Tupinamba people of Brazil are celebrating the return of a sacred cloak taken during colonial times, after 335 years in Denmark's National Museum. The ceremonial cloak, featuring scarlet ibis feathers, will be presented in Rio de Janeiro in a ceremony with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. This return aligns with Brazil's efforts to reclaim Indigenous artifacts globally and supports the Tupinamba's demands for territorial demarcation of their land.
