Hello everyone. my name is paul willis. While studying a masters in cultural heritage i am working at a aboriginal research centre in alice springs, australia. The theme/subject matter of my final year thesis is to be on the question of whether aboriginal (indigenous) artefacts should or should not be returned to their rightful owners. i would like to know the members ideas, feelings, or thoughts on this matter. In addition, any relevant publications, journals, or papers that discuss this issue. Although, i am writing primarily on the life of ted strehlow and his work with the aranda (arrente) people of central australia, i do beleive that other institutions that house indigenous artefacts or items, would have to address this issue sooner or later to either hold onto or give back the objects. Any information, insights, thoughts, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. King regards paul willis research officer Strehlow Research Centre Email: [log in to unmask] ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
