The Pope wearing a headdress in Canada has drawn criticism from some Indigenous leaders
For some Indigenous community members and survivors of the schools, the pope's wearing of the headdress was too much.e, an intergenerational residential school survivor from Ontario, said Francis is "a literal figurehead of the colonial systems of oppression that continue to impact Indigenous communities, families and people today, right now, especially here in Thunder Bay," per The Globe and Mail.
Joe Horse Capture, vice president of Native Collections of Native American History and Culture at the Autry Museum and a member of the A'aniiih Nation of Montana,Maka Black Elk, executive director of Truth and Healing at Red Cloud Indian School in Pine Ridge, South Dakota,"He did not request that. It wasn't his fault. But it's also clear the givers did not consider how it would make other Indigenous people feel. It was a #toosoon moment," Black Elk said.
