Ōtepoti museum returns artefacts to Indigenous Australians

From Checkpoint, 5:54 pm on 17 November 2022

An Ōtepoti Dunedin museum has returned cultural artefacts first taken from Indigenous Australians more than a century ago.

Stone knives, an adze, and a boomerang belong to the Warumungu people, the traditional custodians of the Tennant Creek region in the Northern Territory.

Tess Brunton was at a special handing over ceremony at the Tūhura Otago Museum today and filed this report.
