Naga people celebrate as Oxford museum agrees to return ancestral remains

The Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford is returning 39 pieces of human remains belonging to Naga tribes after six years of negotiation, including parts of skulls, a finger, and skin with hair that were collected by British colonial administrators nearly a century ago.

The remains must still travel from Oxford to Nagaland; the return is announced but the physical repatriation process is underway.
