Manchester Museum hands back 174 objects to Indigenous Australian islanders.
Return of items to Anindilyakwa community hailed as landmark example of cultural repatriation.
A UK museum is returning more than 174 objects to an Indigenous Australian community in what is a being hailed as a landmark example of cultural repatriation.
Manchester Museum's return of the objects is significant because repatriation projects normally revolve around sacred or ceremonial items. Often the objects are considered stolen or were taken in shocking circumstances.
In this case, Manchester is returning everyday objects with a more mundane backstory. They include dolls made from shells, baskets, fishing spears, boomerangs, armbands and a map made from turtle shells, all being sent back to the Anindilyakwa community, who live on an archipelago in the Gulf of Carpentaria, off the northern coast of Australia.
