Product Name
Museums and Collections: The Long Way Home (Paperback)
Product Description

Indigenous peoples have long sought the return of ancestral human remains and associated artefacts from western museums and scientific institutions. Since the late 1970s their efforts have led museum curators and researchers to re-evaluate their practices and policies in respect to the scientific uses of human remains. New partnerships have been established between cultural and scientific institutions and indigenous communities. Human remains and culturally significant objects have been returned to the care of indigenous communities although the fate of bones and burial artefacts in numerous collections remains unresolved and in some instances the subject of controversy. In this book leading researchers from a wide range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences reflect critically on the historical cultural ethical and scientific dimensions of repatriation. Through various case studies they consider the impact of repatriation: what have been the benefits and in what ways has repatriation given rise to new problems for indigenous people scientists and museum personnel. It features chapters by indigenous knowledge custodians who reflect upon recent debates and interaction between indigenous people and researchers in disciplines with direct interests in the continued scientific preservation of human remains.
