‘Ultimate honour’: remains of hundreds of Moriori returned in biggest repatriation yet

Good to see the remains finally being returned to their homeland. It is atrocious that people in the past didn’t have any sense of decency and respect, thinking of these deceased people as nothing more than something to study. They wouldn’t dare do this in a Christian cemetery or white person’s cemetery.

It is appalling that it has taken so long to return the remains, the same has been done with Australian Aboriginal people’s remains and they are only just returned. What gives anyone the right to disturb any grave anywhere in the world? Sacred ground must be respected and preserved at all times worldwide.
