German museums hand over Australian ancestral remains

From First Nations First SBS
Five sets of ancestral remains from Australia that had been in German museum collections since the 19th century have been handed back at a ceremony that a community representative described as a sad but "very joyful" moment. The restitution is part of ongoing efforts by German museums and authorities to return human remains and cultural artefacts that were taken during colonial times.
