Excellent support is also provided by the staff of the Macleay Museum and John Hobson of the Koori Centre. Repatriation is many layered and complex. Indigenous communities have many pressures brought to bear on them. They deal with housing matters, health, unemployment. Many are wrongly thought to have vast funds and tracts of land, and everyday they face racism in one form or another.
Repatriation is thought provoking.
An abiding question with as much sting and antagonism today as yesterday. The Advisory Committee and Macleay Museum staff take great pride in their participation in this important university initiative. From the development of policy to the development of appropriate guidelines we aim to safeguard Indigenous cultural heritage and Ancestral remains until such time as they are back in their own country. We are committed to ensuring that the way we conduct the repatriation project supports rather than disrupts communities.
