Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Yale University has signed an agreement with a university in Peru to return thousands of Inca artefacts taken from the Machu Picchu citadel nearly 100 years ago.
Yale and Peru officials announced in November that they had resolved a long dispute over the artefacts. The agreement, announced yesterday, creates a centre at San Antonio Abad University in Cuzco, where the materials will be housed under the universities' joint direction.
The centre, located in an Inca palace, will include a museum for the public and a research area for collaborative investigations by the two institutions and visiting scholars. The artefacts include ceramic pieces, animal and human bones, and metal and stone objects.
