Skeletal remains of two Aboriginal ancestors have been returned to Northern New South Wales after they were taken more than one hundred years ago.
The skull of a man, sent to Scotland for research in the 1880s and also one of a woman were returned to the Anaiwan people and laid to rest in the Booroolong Nature Reserve last week.
It is one of the rare occasions that the remains of a woman have been returned to Anaiwan land, adding extra sentimental value for women of the tribe, who performed a cultural ceremony for the first time.
Anaiwan woman Cheryl Kitchener told NITV News she was honoured to be a part of the event.
