Brazil Reclaims Sacred Indigenous Cloak from Denmark

On Thursday, Brazil officially received⁢ the ⁤return of⁣ an Indigenous cloak made‍ with 4,000 red feathers of‍ the scarlet ibis bird from Denmark.​ President‍ Luiz⁤ Inacio Lula da Silva ⁣was present at the ​ceremony held outside Brazil’s National Museum in​ Rio de ​Janeiro to celebrate this significant event.

The feathered ceremonial cape is a sacred mantle that holds deep religious and cultural significance for the Tupinamba people of⁤ Bahia in northeastern Brazil. It was stolen during the Dutch occupation of ⁣the area and later⁢ appeared in a‍ Danish inventory in 1689, although it is believed to have been taken⁣ from Brazil about 50 years prior.

For many years, this‌ ceremonial cloak was housed at Denmark’s National Museum. In 2000, it was lent for an ‍exhibition in Sao Paulo where a Tupinamba leader saw it and demanded ​its return. Following extensive diplomatic negotiations, the Danish museum announced‍ its decision to donate the cloak to Brazil’s‍ National Museum, and it was finally⁢ repatriated in July amid celebrations by more than 170 Tupinamba members who traveled from southern Bahia to Rio.

According to cacique Jamopoty Tupinamba, “It is crucial they return what isn’t theirs and rightfully‌ belongs to us. ‍Our heritage strengthens our identity.” This sentiment reflects broader issues related to colonialism as similar indigenous artifacts were taken during European exploration of new territories such as America.

In fact, there are still 10 other similar cloaks held across Europe – including museums and libraries ⁤in Italy, France, Belgium, Switzerland as well ⁤as another one at Denmark’s National Museum – which continue to be subjects of contention regarding their ​rightful ownership by indigenous ‌peoples.

The repatriation of these artifacts ‌signifies important steps toward protecting‌ cultural rights that are currently under threat in various ‌parts of Brazil.
