Studying old bones — preservation or perversion?

"The Huron-Wendat Nation is demanding that Louisiana State University return the “stolen” remains of about 200 people. They say researchers improperly gathered the bones from an Ontario ossuary to use for unauthorized student research."

this article is worth a reading since it deals with the following topics:

  • Poole-Rose ossuary near Cobourg 

  • repatriation of remains 

  • Ontario Cemeteries Act 

  • The Feast of the Dead 

  • University of Toronto

  • The newsletter of the OAS is cited in the article as well.
