[5] Return, Reconcile, Renew: understanding the history, impact and transformative opportunities of repatriation and building an evidence base for the future. (2014-2019)

This project was funded through the Australian Research Council Linkage scheme and partner organisation cash and in-kind contributions.

This project involves community partner organisations, universities, museums and government in Australia, New Zealand and the USA. It sought to advance understanding of the meaning and value of repatriation and build and archive to support repatriation research and practice. The project assisted repatriation practice, undertook new research into the removal and return of Ancestral Remains, conducted 50 interviews in the Kimberley, Torres Strait, and Ngarrindjeri country, and developed the first stage of the RRR Digital Archive of repatriation information. The project produced a major scholarly volume containing 56 chapters on repatriation matters from around the world (The Routledge Companion to Indigenous Repatriation (2020)) and a book of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices in repatriation is in the final stages of completion. The team also developed a 5 day intensive course that is an accredited ANU Master course (MUSC8019) and is also available as a Professional Development course with or without micro-credential.
