«Breaking News» London Museum returns Aboriginal ancestral remains after more than a century

The ancestral remains of 37 indigenous people will be returned to Australia from London's Natural History Museum after more than 100 years. 

Narungga community representatives from South Australia, Douglas Milera and Professor Peter Buckskin, travelled to the UK to attend the handover ceremony on Tuesday night. 

They received the remains of an ancestor which will be kept at the South Australian Museum until the community is ready to conduct a reburial ceremony.

The SA Museum will also look after another seven repatriated ancestral remains.

The remaining 29 ancestral remains will go to the National Museum of Australia until the Ngarrindjeri, Far West Coast, Kaurna and Flinders Ranges communities are ready to lay them to rest. 

'This return is a significant event for our country,' Arts Minister Mitch Fifield said in a statement. 

He said the indigenous repatriation program had led to the return of more than 1,480 ancestral remains, including more than 1200 from the UK.

Mr Milera told ABC News that the 'healing can start' following the historic exchange.  

Mr Milera signs documents to officially mark the handover. Australian High Commissioner to the UK George Brandis and Museum Director Sir Michael Dixon attended the ceremony

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
