King Toera, ruler of Madagascar's Sakalava kingdom of Menabe, was killed by French colonial troops in 1897, and his skull was taken to Paris and kept in a museum for more than a century. France returned the remains last year. For the first time since his death, Toera took his place among his ancestors during the Sakalava people's most sacred ritual. France 24 reported the homecoming.
