Ngākahu National Repatriation Partnership
The Ngākahu National Repatriation Partnership supports organisations by providing expertise, and other assistance, to enable the repatriation of human remains.
The New Zealand Repatriation Research Network
Established in 2018, this network made up of 17 participating museums works together to provide advice and collaborative research on confirming the provenance of all kōiwi (ancestral remains) in our museums to aid in repatriation.
Ngākahu programme
Ngākahu National Repatriation Project was developed to support museums, iwi, hapū and other communities in the return of kōiwi tūpuna (ancestral human remains) back to their descendant communities. One of the ways in which we do that is to facilitate workshops on topics relevant to the needs of museums throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.
