Reviewing the experience with the repatriation of sacred ceremonial objects: A comparative legal analysis of Canada and South Africa

Title
Reviewing the experience with the repatriation of sacred ceremonial objects: A comparative legal analysis of Canada and South Africa
Description
Recent global interest in preserving cultural identity and heritage for the future of previously colonized Indigenous groups has prompted the resuscitation of local and Indigenous cultures from the brink of extinction. The pertinence of protecting and managing cultural heritage as an endowment that transcends generations of people and serves as a ligature between their past, present, and future cannot be overstated. In this respect, the repatriation or restitution of sacred ceremonial objects (SCOs) and cultural artifacts constitutes an integral aspect of reviving Indigenous people’s cultural and living heritage, which has been eroded by colonialism and other forms of occupation.
