Rapa Nui repatriations: Right or wrong? - Mga Rapa Nui: Dapat Bang Makauwi?

The Australian Museum has repatriated the ancestral remains of 17 Rapa Nui islanders to their eastern Pacific place of origin. This homecoming has renewed calls for the return of giant statues, or Moai, from the British Museum. But a UK based archaeologist has warned against overturning historic arrangements made between consenting parties. - Ibinalik ng Australian Museum sa kanilang pinagmulan sa silangang bahagi ng Pacific ang mga labi ng 17 ninuno mula sa Rapa Nui. Dahil dito, muling umigting ang panawagan na ibalik din ang mga higanteng estatwa o Moai na nasa British Museum. Pero ayon sa isang archaeologist na nakabase sa UK, hindi dapat basta baligtarin ang mga kasunduang ginawa noon ng mga panig na parehong pumayag sa mga ito.
