Trend of Giving Back the Bones

Dept. of ethnologica, kerlone, November 12, 2002 at 10:49:27 AM CET

The skeletons of colonialism may get a decent burial at last: Body parts trundled back from all corners of the globe and displayed like mere ornaments are among the exhibits most popular with visitors to British collections. James Morrison [The Independent] reports on moves to give other cultures' ancestors a more dignified end. Update:Link repaired.

cracks in the mask

that reminds me of the film "cracks in the mask", shown during the days of ethnological film in munich a couple of days ago, where a torres strait islander went to europe to see all those mythtical masks and bones shown by anthropological museums from his home islands. his main aim was to bring them back at last. this article shows that he was successful, about 7 to 8 years after the film was made. :)
