Summary

The issue of reburial versus keeping places is important, as keeping places allow for the possibility of future access to remains. These issues are explored in this chapter. Many communities are now moving away from the view that they want to put remains beyond the reach of science and are beginning to understand how human remains can help both their own communities and the wider world. It also shows how the academic community has changed its views in general and is more able to understand the view of indigenous peoples when they want control of the remains.
