Assisting in the repatriation of ancestral human remains is perhaps one of the most important ways that bioarchaeologists can partner with communities today. In this chapter we discuss the first repatriation of historically-excavated ancestral remains to the Cook Islands. Although bioarchaeological analysis was an important part of this repatriation, the work was led by the descendant community, and the biological analysis was undertaken in line with community beliefs and designed to answer community questions. This chapter has been co-written by bioarchaeologists and community members, and intends to highlight the importance of collaboration and the lessons learned on both sides.

摘要

Assisting in the repatriation of ancestral human remains is perhaps one of the most important ways that bioarchaeologists can partner with communities today. In this chapter we discuss the first repatriation of historically-excavated ancestral remains to the Cook Islands. Although bioarchaeological analysis was an important part of this repatriation, the work was led by the descendant community, and the biological analysis was undertaken in line with community beliefs and designed to answer community questions. This chapter has been co-written by bioarchaeologists and community members, and intends to highlight the importance of collaboration and the lessons learned on both sides.
