Introduction The Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR), the Pitt Rivers Museum (PRM) and Naga researchers from the University of Edinburgh and the University of Melbourne have been collaborating to find ways forwards towards the future care of Naga ancestral remains in the Museum’s collections. When PRM opened their doors on September 22, 2020, after being closed for a period of 5 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they removed human remains from their exhibition displays. This was a result of their comprehensive review, and renewed efforts to work with different communities to return ancestral human remains taken during the period of Britain’s imperialism. The Naga human remains are part of this endeavour, and Naga ancestral human remains have been taken down from their exhibits and stored in boxes. Currently, approximately 214 Naga ancestral remains (a combination of skeletal ancestral remains and objects made with components such as human hair or bone) are in the Museum’s care
