Bring them home: The fight to repatriate stolen ancestors
Australia alone is holding the remains of almost 1,500 Pasifika ancestors. Remains that were snatched from their homelands — some less than a century ago.
Last season on Culture Compass we lifted the lid some of the biggest museums across the world storing these human remains in their archives. Most of our communities weren't even aware. Since then, things have been changing, but is it enough?
You'll hear from Fijian anthropologist Tarisi Vunidilo who's working with museums across the world on repatriation. We'll check in with Clacy Fatnowna, President of the Queensland United Australian South Sea Islander Council. Plus, Melissa Malu from the Australian Museum in Sydney speaks of a successful repatriation to her homeland of Tonga.
Culture Compass was produced by Deadset Studios for ABC Radio Australia.
