Peru formally requested restitution in 1918 and 1920, but to no avail. In 2001, negotiations between Peru and Yale University resumed. However, the resulting accord discontented the Peruvian Government. As a result, Peru filed suit in the United States against Yale University seeking the return of the collection and damages. In November 2010, the parties signed an agreement on the return of the Machu Picchu collection to Peru. As part of that accord, Yale University and the Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco (UNSAAC) established the UNSAAC- Yale University International Centre for the Study of Machu Picchu and Inca Culture.

However, when US explorer, Hiram Bingham, announced that he had discovered the “lost city” in 1911, few would have predicted Machu Picchu’s rise to fame during the twentieth century. My dissertation traces the unlikely transformation of Machu Picchu into its present-day role as a modern tourism destination and a representation of Peruvian national identity.

  • Sybil's Bones, a Chronicle of the Three Hiram Binghams
    Sybil's Bones, a Chronicle of the Three Hiram Binghams Alfred M. Bingham I first heard about Sybil when my father took me to see her grave in the old New Haven City Burial Ground. The Grove Street Cemetery, as it was commonly called, was not far from the Yale College Chapel, where our family went on Sundays, so I suppose that it was after a service that my father walked us over to see where his grandfather and grandmother were buried. My father was not a religious man, but, as a College professor, at a time when attendance at chapel services was compulsory for all students, he may well have felt it incumbent on him, a supporter of the establishment, to attend Sunday services, when he was not off exploring in Peru, and he would have had an uneasy conscience if he had not given me and my brothers at least a grounding in the religion of his missionary ancestors. Moreover, the College invited the country's most prominent preachers, without much regard for doctrinal or denominational purity, to its pulpit, so his own skeptical theism was not offended. And he must have enjoyed the prominence of the family pew at the front of the faculty section, where his six-foot-four-inch frame, flanked by my mother and several small boys, was visible to the whole student body. It would have been a five-minute walk from the Battell Chapel steps on College Street, with its slowly melting group of departing worshipers, to the Cemetery. The setting today is unchanged from what it was then, sixty years ago.

  • Conference on the Yale Peruvian Expeditions, 2005
    Conference on the Yale Peruvian Expeditions, 2005 DIRECTOR MODERATOR Christy-Anna Chung Sofia Policelli VICE-DIRECTOR Maeve Redmond UTMUN 2021 Yale Peruvian Expeditions Content Disclaimer At its core, Model United Nations (MUN) is a simulatory exercise of diplomatically embodying, presenting, hearing, dissecting, and negotiating various perspectives in debate. Such an exercise offers opportunities for delegates to meaningfully explore possibilities for conflict resolution on various issues and their complex, even controversial dimensions—which, we recognize, may be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. As UTMUN seeks to provide an enriching educational experience that facilitates understanding of the real-world implications of issues, our committees’ contents may necessarily involve sensitive or controversial subject matter strictly for academic purposes. We ask for delegates to be respectful, professional, tactful, and diplomatic when engaging with all committee content, representing their assigned country’s or character’s position, communicating with staff and other delegates, and responding to opposing viewpoints. The below content warning is meant to warn you of potentially sensitive or triggering topics that are present in the formal content of this background guide, as well as content that may appear in other aspects of committee (e.g., debate, crisis updates, directives), so that you can either prepare yourself before reading this background guide or opt-out of reading it entirely The topics that this committee will be discussing are centered around politically and culturally charged events. Ideas regardings neo-colonialism, cultural property and repatriation are sensitive ones. Additionally, events that occur prior to the expeditions have been characterized by colonial violence. As such, delegates must demonstrate respect when speaking about cultures that they may or may not be familiar with, and conduct the negotiations in good faith.

  • Case #6 Alejandro Toledo, President of Peru, Has Launched a Public
    Case #6 Alejandro Toledo, President of Peru, has launched a public campaign demanding that Yale University return to Peru Incan artifacts excavated at Machu Picchu in 1912. Yale professor Hiram Bingham III, guided by a native Peruvian, came upon the Incan city of Machu Picchu in 1911. Bingham secured backing from the National Geographic Society and support from Peru’s government for archeological excavations at Machu Picchu in 1912 and again in 1914-15. In October 1912, Bingham gained the Peruvian government’s permission to bring to Yale for research the contents of 170 tombs in Machu Picchu. The decree allowed that Peru reserve the right to ask for the return of the objects. By 1916, Peru, suspecting Bingham of secretly taking Incan gold, ended Bingham’s work at Machu Picchu. The items taken to Yale from the 1914-15 excavations were loaned for only 18 months. Yale has refused several Peruvian requests for return of the artifacts. Today, Yale claims that they have complied with the 1912 and the 1916 agreements, returning the objects to Peru during the 1920’s. Yale sees no similar responsibility to return the items taken from earlier work. National Geographic Society records show that about half of the items were returned to Peru, with no mention of the remaining artifacts. Luis Guillermo Lumbreras, the director of Peru’s National Institute of Culture in Lima, claims that Yale has had 90 years to complete research on the objects, and now Peru wants the items returned. Peru elected its first indigenous president–Alejandro Toledo, who honored the nation’s Incan heritage by holding part of his inauguration ceremony at Machu Picchu in 2001.

  • Punahou School
    Resolved: That the foundation of this institution be laid with faith in God, relying upon His great and precious promises to believing parents in behalf of their children, commending it to His care and love from its commencement, and looking to Him to build it up, cherish it, and make it a blessing to the church and the world. Resolution Passed at the General Meeting of the Sandwich Islands Mission, held from May 12, till June 8, 1841 – forming what later became known as Punahou School. Punahou School On July 11, 1842, fifteen children met for the first time at Punahou School. By the end of that first year, 34- children from the Sandwich Islands and Oregon missions were enrolled; only one over 12-years old. Today, Punahou is the oldest independent school west of the Mississippi River. With 3,750 students, it is the largest single-campus private school in America. All of its graduates go on to college, with over 90- percent going to the continent for further schooling. (Scott, Punahou) Let’s look at how it got there. The story of Punahou tracks its foundation, beginning in 1808, when young ʻŌpūkahaʻia, a native Hawaiian training under his uncle to be a kahuna (priest) at Hikiʻau Heiau in Kealakekua Bay, boarded a Western ship there and sailed to the continent. On board, he developed a friendship with a Christian sailor who, using the Bible, began teaching ʻŌpūkahaʻia how to read and write. Once landed, he traveled throughout New England and continued to learn and study. At that time, the US was swept by religious revivalism and many people were converted in the wake of the newly-born religious fervor.
