Naga Delegation Travels to Oxford Amid Federal Government's Repatriation Process Challenge
A Naga delegation led by tribal hoho leaders has traveled to Oxford to formalize the return of 39 ancestral human remains held at the Pitt Rivers Museum. The University of Oxford Council approved the repatriation, facilitated by the Forum for Naga Reconciliation. However, the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN), operating within the Naga National Council framework, has challenged the process, questioning the authority of those claiming to represent the Naga people and requesting a suspension and review of the handover. The FGN supports repatriation in principle but emphasizes adherence to the Naga national institutional framework.
