Glad to see repatriation is also happening in other parts of the world, this time in Indonesia:
`The items, weighing approximately 40 kilograms and categorized into 15 types, including jewelry, tools, ceramics, pottery, coins, and the skeletal remains of three ancestors, were initially excavated 15 years ago and have since been stored at UGM for research purposes. `
`The ancestral remains will be reburied in accordance with the customs and beliefs of the Warloka community. Meanwhile, the cultural artifacts will be temporarily housed at the local Tourism Office while a dedicated exhibition space is being developed in Warloka. `
