Oxford museum intends to return remains of 39 people to the Naga community in India

The Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford announced plans to return the remains of 39 people to the Naga community in India. The ancestral remains were collected in the early 20th century and held in the museum's collections for decades. The museum acknowledged the need to return these remains to their descendants and the originating community. This decision is part of a broader movement among museum institutions to repatriate ethnographic collections considered problematic.
