Oxford's Pitt Rivers Museum to Return 39 Naga Ancestral Remains to Nagaland
The University of Oxford's Pitt Rivers Museum has approved the repatriation of 39 ancestral human remains of the Naga people to Nagaland, with the process expected to conclude by the end of the year. The decision follows collaboration between the Forum for Naga Reconciliation, Recover Restore and Decolonise, and Naga tribal bodies. One set of remains was excluded due to unclear Naga origin. The repatriation is seen as a step toward justice, dignity, and healing for the Naga community.
