return remains Aboriginal Bundjalung tribe

Return of the remains of the aboriginal Bundjalung tribe from the Museum of Ethnology to the original Australian families of the Bundjalung tribe. The chests are covered with the black-red-yellow Aboriginal flag and contain five skulls and accompanying bones. The bones have been preserved in the anatomical museum in Leiden for over a century. Anthropologists took them to the Netherlands in the 19th century to study the anatomical differences between races. The smoking ritual is a high point of the ritual, with the tribal elders of the Aboriginal tribe walking around the coffins with smoking eucalyptus leaves.
