Taken from India, 39 Naga ancestors return after 100 years: Oxford museum transfers skulls taken by British officials during colonial rule

Oxford's Pitt Rivers Museum has formally handed over the remains of 39 Naga ancestors, mostly skulls collected during British colonial rule between the 1910s and 1940s. A Nagaland delegation received them after a reconciliation process that began in 2020. The remains will be brought to India and laid to rest at a shared memorial.
