Retired Okanese First Nation Chief Marie\u002DAnne Day Walker\u002DPelletier was among delegates given access to the Anima Mundi Ethnological Museum.
Walker-Pelletier, a residential school survivor, said she looked at the objects and thought about how artifacts speak truth to life, history and the communities of Indigenous people.
Indigenous curators and experts have said they have been unable to get access to the unknown number of objects in the church’s possession. The collection is known to contain masks, wampum belts, pipes and rugs, as well as other items from Indigenous communities in North America. Many objects were taken away from Indigenous people after the Canadian government outlawed cultural practices through the Indian Act in 1876. Ceremonial items and other important objects were seized, then sold, given to museums or destroyed.
She said she wished she had more time to muse on the objects and to take photos. She knows many people in her home community were interested in what the Vatican had.
