Brazil formally received the return of an Indigenous cloak made with 4,000 red feathers of the scarlet ibis bird from Denmark. The sacred mantle that was taken by Europeans during the 17th century colonial era. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva attended the ceremony outside Brazil's National Museum in Rio de Janeiro, where he insisted he would fight against a bill that would put a time limit on Indigenous land claims. The cloak, a feathered ceremonial cape used in religious rituals of the Tupinamba people of Bahia in northeastern Brazil, was removed during the Dutch occupation of the area. Its first mention comes in a Danish inventory in 1689, although it is thought to have been taken from Brazil some 50 years before. By the 21st century it was held in the ethnographic collection of Denmark's National Museum, the Nationalmuseet. In 2000, the museum lent the cloak out for an exhibition in Sao Paulo. Some 170 Tupinamba traveled from southern Bahia to Rio, where they celebrated its return. According to cultura
