Oxford museum returns ancestral Naga skulls to India

An Oxford museum has agreed to return ancestral skulls belonging to the Naga people to India. The remains are being transferred to Nagaland, the northeastern Indian state where the community lives. Tribal leaders there intend to hold a joint memorial service followed by burial of the remains. The repatriation reflects growing international pressure on museums to return human remains and culturally sensitive objects to their communities of origin.
