Manchester museum returns cultural items to Northern Territory community
from First Nations First
174 cultural items taken from a remote indigenous community in the 1950s by an English anthropologist have been handed over to elders in what experts hope will prove to be a ‘trigger’ for other museums to return similar materials. Members of the Anindilyakwa community travelled to the English city of Manchester for the emotional ceremony. Later this year, the items will be returned to Groote Island, 50 kilometres off the Northern Territory Coast.
