What's behind this
Oxford's Pitt Rivers Museum handed over 39 Naga ancestral remains to the people of Nagaland after they had been held for about a century. The transfer involved moving the remains out of the university to begin their journey home. The claim for a 40th set of remains was not accepted; the university rejected that claim, so the 40th was not returned.
