The Long Way Home

This book explores the cultural, historical and ethical dimensions that make up the complex phenomenon of repatriation. It tackles some of the most difficult questions that repatriation raises: ‘What have been the benefits of repatriation?’ ‘What have been the problems?’ ‘How well have the concerns of Indigenous people, scientists and educators been met?’ Contributing authors include museum personnel and researchers who have been involved in repatriation, and Indigenous community representatives and knowledge custodians charged with the responsibility of reclaiming remains and culturally significant items.
