Five sets of ancestral remains seized in 19th century handed over by museums in Berlin and Lower Saxony

Five sets of ancestral remains from Australia that have been held in German museum collections since the 19th century have been handed back at a ceremony that a community representative described as a sad but “very joyful” moment.

The restitution is part of efforts by German museums and authorities to return human remains and cultural artefacts that were taken during the colonial era.
