A collection of Maori skeletal remains and a tattooed Maori head discovered at the University of Birmingham were handed back to New Zealand in a spiritual ceremony on Friday 18 October 2013.
The toi moko (preserved head) and köiwi tangata (skeletal remains) were uncovered by staff in the anatomy department at the University's College of Medical and Dental Sciences -- but how they arrived at the University or even in the UK is shrouded in mystery. They have never been used or displayed by the University and have remained in storage for many years.
A delegation from the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa from Wellington visited the University this week and held a repatriation ceremony where the remains were given back to the Maori people.
