ancestral remains
Te Papa will welcome 111 Kōimi T’chakat Moriori (Moriori skeletal remains) and 2 Māori ancestral remains when they are repatriated to Aotearoa New Zealand this week.
This is the largest-ever return of ancestors belonging to a single imi (iwi, tribe). It coincides with the opening of a refreshed display of Moriori taonga (treasures) at Te Papa.
