This project aims to investigate the dynamic ways in which repatriated cultural collections are re-integrated back into the lives of Aboriginal individuals and communities in central Australia. As the first systematic study of the mid-to long-term consequences of repatriation, the project intends to discover how repatriation policies and practices might be better developed, implemented and resourced. The project is designed to provide significant benefits to Aboriginal communities and wider Australia through the elevation of Indigenous perspectives and the production of community resources. It should also benefit the museum sector by developing insights into the effects of repatriation and enable the design of new policy frameworks.
