Cultural items returned to Aboriginal community in UK ceremony
Published 6 September 2023, 10:28 am
174 cultural items taken from a remote an Indigenous community in the 1950s by an English anthropologist have been handed over to elders, in what experts hope will prove to be a ‘trigger’ for other museums to return similar treasures. Members of the Anindilyakwa community travelled to the English city of Manchester for the emotional ceremony. Later this year, the items will be returned to Groote Eylandt, 50 kilometres off the Northern Territory Coast.
