We the Darug people petition the British government and Royal family to return not only Pemulweys bones but all Aboriginal bones back to their home country so their spirits can rest with their ancestors.


To keep our ancestors on display in museums is not only incomprehensible but also an atrocity.  We are and were never created to be specimens for scientific research or morbid display.  We are a proud people who honour our traditions and ancestors.


Our people cannot really start to heal in spirit until our ancestors which your people murdered are brought back home.

Seeing this groundswell of support brings me such hope that we can finally bring our ancestors home to rest. It is heartening to know so many people understand why this is a necessary step for our healing and for justice.

The uk government needs to show some respect and just send them back already. treating people like objects is just sick honestly

It is way past time to bring them home. These are human beings not museum exhibits. Disgraceful that this is still happening in 2016.
