Oxford University Returns Remains of 39 Naga People to Community
Oxford University's Pitt Rivers Museum returned the remains of 39 Naga people taken during British colonial rule to representatives of the Naga community in a ceremony attended by nearly 30 community members. The repatriation, described as a historic moment by museum and university officials, reflects broader efforts by Western museums to return ancestral remains and cultural artifacts. The remains, held for over a century, were formally handed over to the Forum for Naga Reconciliation and the Naga Tribe Hoho, with emphasis on reconciliation, healing, and respect for ancestral rights.
