UK Returns Aboriginal Scull

Members of an Aboriginal tribe held a ritual in front of Liverpool's World Museum on Wednesday, May 13, to mark the repatriation of human remains to Australia. A skull is being returned to representatives of the Ngarrindjeri people because it has strong spiritual and religious significance. The remains were purchased from Dr William Broad, of Liverpool, in 1948, when he visited Australia between 1902 and 1904 and published works on Australian skeletal remains
