The regalia belongs to Blackfoot leader Chief Crowfoot, who is buried on the grounds of the Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park on the Siksika First Nation, east of Calgary

. As his items whiled away the years at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter, 280 kilometres southwest of London, a purpose-built $100,000 room that carefully controls light, temperature and humidity sat empty at Blackfoot Crossing.

Last year, Mr. Yellow Old Woman told The Globe he was frustrated with the delay and said he felt “extreme resistance” from RAMM to send Chief Crowfoot’s belongings home. Exeter City Councillor Rachel Sutton, who supported the items’ return, said in a statement that original injustices of colonization still reverberate with First Nations people today. “Giving back Crowfoot’s regalia returns control to the Siksika Nation over their cultural identity, dignity and authority, and is the right thing to do,” she said.
