The remains of eleven Kaurna Indigenous people were buried in Adelaide’s south after they were taken from their graves in mid-20th century and then donated to London’s Natural History Museum.

The remains were repatriated from the London Museum, arriving in Canberra this week, and then transported to their final resting place in Adelaide’s south on Thursday.

Traditional owner, Allan Sumner, said that Kurna people they believe their ancestors need to be back home, and they will continue to recover Indigenous remains to put them to rest.
