I HAVE hesitated for a long time before writing about the repatriation of Naga ancestral remains. Not because I have nothing to say, but perhaps because I have had too much respect for those who began the conversation before many of us had even noticed it. I have followed the discussion around the Naga ancestral remains at the Pitt Rivers Museum, particularly through the Morung Lecture series, from its early public conversations. For much of this time, I chose to remain silent.
