  • International Repatriations of Indigenous Human Remains and Its Complexities: the Australian Experience1
    6 International Repatriations of Indigenous Human Remains and Its Complexities: the Australian Experience1 Paul Turnbull Abstract Over the past forty or so years, many Indigenous peoples in former settler colonies have fought for, and in many instances won, recognition of their rights to have the bodily remains of their ancestors returned from Western museums and other scientific institutions for burial. It has been a remarkable achievement. However, as this article highlights, in the Australian context, the efforts of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders to secure and bury the remains of their ancestors as their cultures require have, in many cases, been complicated by challenges arising from the need to revitalize or re-establish continuities with the ancestral past eroded by settler colonialism, while seeking restoration of their ownership rights in respect of land and cultural heritage in the contemporary Australian context. Key words: Australia; Aboriginal People; Torres Strait Islanders; Human Remains; Repatriation. The repatriation of ancestral human remains from overseas scientific institutions by Australian and other Indigenous peoples in post-settler societies has been an extraordinary achievement. In the Australian context, tireless campaigning by Indigenous community leaders, representative organizations and activists from the mid-1970s to the late 1990s has seen Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders gradually win wide public and government support for the unconditional repatriation of the remains of their ancestors from overseas scientific collections. Even so, numerous communities have found the tasks of reclaiming the dead and burying them in their ancestral country – as religious beliefs and customary law requires – difficult obligations to fulfill. It has meant complying with Australian federal government mandated arrangements for identifying ancestral remains in overseas museums and other medico-scientific collections, for negotiating their repatriation, and for returning them to community care.
