More effective and informed professional practices associated with repatriation can only, this chapter argues, be achieved by acknowledging and engaging with the emotional registers and repertoires of collecting, retention, and repatriation of Indigenous Ancestral Remains. Drawing on Wetherell’s (2012) concept of affective practices the chapter identifies and considers the differing emotions and their expressions that underlie demands for repatriation and the responses of scientists. Emotion has often been neglected in repatriation scholarship, but an engagement with the affective aspects of the repatriation process offers opportunities in challenging the often polarized and polarizing characterization of this debate and extends the field of analysis in considering the consequences of repatriation to community and individual wellbeing, peace-building, and healing. We explore these ideas with examples from Hawaiian and Australian Aboriginal peoples’ perspectives particularly. |
