Museums, #repatriation and moving forward together.
Many of the artifacts held in anthropological museums have a difficult history. Some were stolen from their original owners, some were seized by imperial authorities and others were taken through illegal trade, coercion and deception.

"During an emotionally charged ceremony, Bristol city council formally handed over 33 objects including spears that would have been used to hunt creatures from fish to buffalo, some still gleaming with the red ochre used to decorate them.

They will be flown to Melbourne and then taken by truck to Garramilla/Darwin – road is the only option because at three metres some of the spears are too long to be transported on a domestic flight – and the plan is to show them at the Larrakia cultural centre, which is scheduled to open on a site overlooking Darwin harbour next year."

Amongst other things, there is a discussion of disputes over repatriation of Indigenous ancestral remains and cultural heritage.

'After amendments to the Victorian government’s Relics Preservation Act in the 1980s, Gunditjmara elder Uncle Jim Berg arrived at the UoM with the legal injunction to repatriate the stolen items. The book recounts Berg’s recollection that the then vice-chancellor, David Caro, met him in his office and shouted: “Who in the hell do you think you are, taking on the University of Melbourne?”

A collection of about 800 Indigenous remains, excavated from gravesites on the Murray River by George Murray Black, was returned.

But despite the injunction explicitly including Berry’s collection as well as Black’s, it would sit in the Medical Building for another two decades, and even now families are waiting for their ancestors to be repatriated.'
