Résumé

In 2005 Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg successfully repatriated human remains from the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Though repatriation case studies often concentrate on the importance of the material heritage being returned to source communities, the effects of the repatriation process itself can be equally important. This article demonstrates how the repatriation process developed community capacity in Kitigan Zibi and increased unity within the larger Algonquin Nation. The overall process shows the role that repatriation can play in larger questions of Indigenous autonomy, regardless of what material is involved in the claim or whether it is successfully returned to the community.
