It was the first international repatriation of ancestral remains for Taiwan's indigenous community, according to the island's Council of Indigenous Peoples. He said academic institutions and museums should work together to reflect on historical injustices and foster recognition of indigenous peoples' rights.
The skulls were taken to Japan by a US Navy officer who had accompanied the Japanese as a military adviser in the 1874 conflict and were eventually given to University of Edinburgh Principal William Turner in 1907.
