Networked knowledge for repatriation communities

该项目旨在建立一个数字设施，以支持土著人类遗骸的遣返。在过去的40年里，遣返有助于和解和土著居民的康复和福祉，是改变土著人民、博物馆和学院之间关系的最重要因素。成功的遣返需要并产生在类型、地理和可及性方面多样化的研究材料。在土著数据管理框架内，该项目将收集、保存和提供全世界遣返信息的重要和广泛的记录。预计该项目将支持遣返实践和奖学金，并改善为社会公益而遣返的机会。

This project aims to build a digital facility that supports the repatriation of Indigenous human remains. Repatriation contributes to reconciliation and Indigenous healing and wellbeing, and has been the most important agent of change in the relationship between Indigenous peoples, museums and the academy over the past 40 years. Successful repatriation requires and produces research materials diverse in type, geography and accessibility. Within an Indigenous data-governance framework, this project will gather, preserve and make accessible a critical and extensive record of repatriation information worldwide. The project is expected to support repatriation practice and scholarship and improve the opportunities of repatriation for social good.
