U.S. Museum to Return Remains of Labrador Inuit
The Field Museum of Natural History located in Chicago has agreed to return the remains of 22 Inuit individuals who were exhumed from marked graves at a Christian cemetery near Hopedale and Nain, NL. in 1927-28. "We are deeply saddened by this incident," Field Museum president John McCarter said. "While Field Museum employees of today did not commit this wrong, we recognize that these actions did not comply with ethical archeological practices, either past or current."
