It was a stunning image: Pope Francis briefly wearing a full Indigenous headdress, its rows of soft white feathers fastened in place by a colorful, beaded headband after he apologized for the Catholic Church's role in Canada's "disastrous" residential school system for Indigenous children.
Chief Wilton Littlechild, a residential school survivor himself, gave Francis the headdress Monday, placing it on his head amid cheering by an audience in Maskwacis, Alberta, that included many school survivors.
The Vatican and the pope clearly appreciated the gesture: Francis kissed Littlechild's hands after receiving the headdress, something he has done in the past as a sign of respect for Holocaust survivors, and has done on this trip for residential school survivors.
The Vatican obviously understood the symbolic significance of the moment, putting the photo on the front page of the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano under the headline "I humbly beg forgiveness."

The wokeness continues. What a moron.
Clownshow idiot.
It was a gift from the big chief so the pope didn’t have to wear his pointy hat.
I believe protocol requires he wear it at all peace pipe gatherings until he officially departs least he offend his host.
The colors, bead and braid patterns in headdresses have meaning and convey all kinds of things. Noticing the differences on Frank’s headdress compared to the Natives’ makes me wonder what the maker intended.
Calvin Coolidge in a headdress looked less silly.
What was Truedeau wearing?
🎶”I’m an Indian, too! Ooh, ooh!”🎶
The dude looked like he’d make a great new silly mascot for the Cleveland Indians … if only they hadn’t changed their name.
Just another libtard ding a ling sham show for their low IQ people
Tomorrow the pope is going to dress like the cop, and on Tuesday the construction worker.
Hekawi Tribal head dress.
...Of the Pope-a-watami tribe.
“...Of the Pope-a-watami tribe.”
Sure it’s not the Pope-I-wannabe tribe? He’s a man of the people and wants to play Indian.
Cute, your holiness.
But they want MONEY!
Isn’t it cultural appropriation?
Right; he is a fool for trying to appease them.
