and so today, vice mother annoyed for nearly 4 decades. she's for peace, for the, for brace of freedoms in your home, then they run in spite of felt very comfortable to trifles. our children should not inherit science from us. the an income. if you look into the nice stats, july 29th on d, w, the artifacts looted under colonial rule are increasingly being returned to the original owners. in 2022 germany began we patch reading the famous spinning bronze as to nigeria. today, this is the earlier i came from cameron came to bowen, requesting the return of these peoples mother goddess the indigenous army people in

finland are also seeking. they were patched creation of artifacts from germany. 2000 in ton c, beethoven's 8 symphony or she was doctoral faces return from poland. things around the world wide. but it's a complex issue. the in the nigerian capital a bu joe, an airplane from the german government, touched down on the 18th of december 2022. it's priceless cargo, a message to the world that germany was following others in rude patch reading, bending bronzes to nigeria. a 125 years off today was seized by the british. the,

the 2 government ministers attended the ceremony for the official handover. it was designed to be the 1st of many such deliveries the we didn't find out what this key was used for. maybe to unlock a shrine, maybe tell a story, but what do we do know is that off to being rob from the knee. it was brought to present, but not only to bridge. and finally, ended up in the city all could of today i a, this key is fact the treasures included a smaller version of a famous mosque held by the british museum. its return added to the pressure on the former colonial power own

$230.00 by commission is the cause has come. this moment and german suit not one often will gradually re penetrate the artifacts of the owners will tell us when they want, which objects and which order to the common point. the historical kingdom of bending was located in what is now southern nigeria. the bronzes were looted by british forces in 1897, when they re did the royal palace. and what has now been in city that included the controversial queen mazda area mosque that london has so far, refused to return. other bronzes was sold to buyers all over the world. could they return now, boost opinion cds, reputation as a cultural center and draw more visitors. the trip by the german delegation with the company media attention could certainly help. august has been opening new

studios in the city, adding to the momentum scaled cod. so should i do believe that our disappear in the cargo we brought is historic and and the other important point is to think about what cooperation between museum should look like and scope of a to visit our field. modern art from here that is still powerful. we want to bring it to us, of the kindest african film, for example, coming to germany, we need to come down from our euro centric throne. but not everyone is applauding germany's decision. some say the bronzes have actually being returned to the descendants of slave trade, is that they have blood on the ssl law, the stupid it's clear that the beginning royals were not just victims, but also perpetrators of the kingdom ebony and regularly went to war against neighboring groups they plundered, killed and took slaves, fluffed germany most and every king,

after ascending the throne they would have had to basically wage a war the old and so there are huge areas in the territory surrounding the kingdom, where people suffered out of pocket beads, its size and income many of those captured was sold to transatlantic slave trade is and shipped to the american east coast today. many of the defendants in the us, a highly critical up the decision to return. the bronze is one of them when they set up a restitution study group in new york and has been following the developments closely . they demanding a say in the current restitution process. the bronzes themselves are kate, as they were made by melting down currency and from the slave trade, we call this blood metal. this is a manila, this was a form of currency that the been a king. them was paid and exchanged for, and slave people. people that they sold into the trans atlantic slave trade to your

opinions of these manila is we're a 50 page per woman, $57.00 per man. okay, so the bronzes are actually contain this metal and we consider them part of our legacy is part of our wells. we should be co owned is because this is, this is precisely the thing that our ancestors westlake, the descendants of the slaves do not want the bronzes to return to been in the city . they say they should be kept where they are in various institutions, like philadelphia's pen, musing, and they want museums to use the bronzes to tell the victim story of suffering. the key right of the collection is a strong proponent of involving the descendants of the slaves in the shaping of the exhibition and has reached out to the community. we wanted to make the story the narrative about as slaves and a little more complex. so this is a, a,

a image that is very well known as a diagram that shows how the africans enslaved were placed in the bowels of the boats. when we asked people in the community, what did they want to see here? that's what they wanted to see. what is the connection between and slaves, and what is the connection between colonialism? what is the connection between african independence the black lives matter movement has served to highlight the systemic injustices suffered by people of color and increase the desire to address the rooms at the past. the home vote for him in berlin still has many been in bronzes. the museum was named of the german naturalist alexander, fun home, both a man who despised the slave trade. so shouldn't the museum make a special effort to involve the descendants of the slaves? and the restitution dialogue covers this week? because i think it's important that everyone who is involved in this process who

feels involved in some way or feels they should be involved and should be given a voice on the bottom. so again, why shouldn't that be possible here? thinking, i think that's important and which doesn't mean that we don't consider the repatriation process, correct. what could we still do? so think about talking, but we're open. the humbled for him is a place that is evolving using too often just some things will continue to change here and why not give these people a voice and go to misuse. my understanding the home board for him is giving a voice to many in the debate by the restitution, but not yet to the defendants of african slaves. that is about to change the world but it's not just a black white divide. we had now to the finals of finland where for thousands of years, the annual rain, the migration cycle shapes the lives of the sun mean nomads. today,

they one of the last indigenous peoples in europe. but climate change is transforming the landscape on which the herds depend. mining companies are also competing for the natural resources under the permafrost ends, new railway lines, and cutting of randy rhodes. the saw me a struggling to preserve their way of life, language and culture. we are fighting. we apply thing at the moment for all a saw me parliament act. we are fighting the magical northern lights were traditionally seen by the saw me as a dock i'm and send from their ancestors. but today they use the fascination of the overall to promote the annual film festival. the scott mug about its held in the finished village of erie

for the past 25 use. the 7 saw me communities here have screened films showcasing the history the saw me way of life was almost wiped out completely on more than one occasion. whether it was through the takeover of the land force christianize ation russian annexations, language bands or pressure to assimilate. but since the middle of the 20th century resistance amongst the cell me has grown, there is a determination to preserve the culture long or uncle as he to the he is in other, some is a tiny language. there are only about 404-0450 people who speak this language. so it's been a huge thing to realize that anything you do in such

a small language has a huge impact. the see the museum in energy showcase is a collection of some artifact, but many of them can only be viewed on computer screens. that's because the original was a scatter, the museums all over the world. this sherman's drum is that a museum in germany. many drums were destroyed by the christian priests. archaeologists took all the treasures from an island in lake erie that was sacred to the summit. so the evans from prison found a silver head band here. it is now returned from oxford to energy, but internship has still not been transferred to the summit. we call it the 1st symbolic repack creation of the cedar museum had, and it is in the museum as a long time load. many,

most of the cultural artifacts can be found in billions, museum of european cultures. the museum has now started a research project with the saw me to study the cultural treasures together around $1600.00 objects and models, photos, and paintings to be sifted through over the next few years. did so when, when to both sides. if christina knew land control on the wealth of some of the exhibits for her post doctoral research, at the same time, she's an ambassador for a culture that few in europe's museums, knowing much about stuff on that. but i'm convinced that many museums are not fully aware of everything in their collections. i need to sign on something . and it's the same for me, especially when it comes to exhibits where the culture is so different from our own home decided like so me culture advocacy, which is so old that we're just not familiar with the lightest. as i said up on

a lot of things, but that's not enough, is if it is i'm going to use about as a high space protective suits or a must in the museum storage. that's because many of the objects have been treated with pesticides. they wouldn't have survived all these years otherwise. now every single pace has to go through would take talks. the researches find a number of sacred objects in the collection. so there's a antlers here have been sacrificed, given as a gift to the natures they come from. the in the area and they plus a place where you would give gifts to the thunder. god, i don't want to touch them if it's not necessary. it's very touching to think that they are here in berlin, and it would probably be good if they could be returned. the museum agrees that the

time of the com a different point, there's a little depression. cultural heritage foundation is open to the idea of restitution. the can we need to work with this. tell me. and we are taking a 1st step by studying the provenance of the stomach collection. that's why ava christina, new lender is here to look through everything. i'm gonna try and named. it's very, this is very into being the see, the music came back in, you know, read is in the process of organizing and putting on display the finished national museums saw the collection which was returned from helsinki 2 years ago. this fight to preserve, they called true heritage also highlights the role of women in some a culture. here are the effects and not repack created. for example, the re max created british damage the shape of the women's traditional whole and cap underlined the strong position in society. so we came that also like you got

better, a 16 bird for fair dvd. and uh, yeah, i think it's wonderful how we say that that the re match we a, some starts from where the petri ation does not reach. the priests says that the demo lives in this protrusion and the priest used to burn. and then of course, today to the refers to my 3 out of colors in malls, so it it to kind of list up the role of indigenous women in this case. i am a woman, as a pair taker of, of the society is christina newland joined forces with autism otp scheme to express use of research through the medium of contemporary art. the exhibition that the cedar museum looks at the hatch is something wrong with pride by previous generations of women. the exhibition is an appeal to others, saw me to reclaim the heritage but

when it comes to the restitution of cultural assets, seemingly irreconcilable differences exist even between members of the european union. since the end of world war 2, the polar city of cracow has held the so called building cut collection. it comprises many outstanding works of the german language, including henry's and manuscripts from good to the green brothers dictionary. frederick schiller's ducks, real faces beethovens and symphony and drawings by alex on the phone, humboldt windsor heights and our position. and the position of the german government is that there are of course, the legal property of the prussian cultural heritage foundation in this, in this. but the germans did terrible things in poland to pull in. and when you think about that history and then start talking about the restitution, because you get a not in your throat for at least high do you might say muslim garbage placed since

1989 german researches who hold a ph. d can look at the menu scripts stored at the yag alone in library in krakow. but even now in 2023 german television still can't get permission to film here. it's politically too sensitive, we were told of the record that the link is odyssey began in 1941 when the most valuable books and manuscripts were removed from the oppression state library in the event to protect them from the steadily worsening air raids, they were taken further raised to the huge costs of luck 1st and stein or shawn as it's known and polish. she was thought that the building code would be safe. i so often got a noticing whole, so from 1941 beginning in may i. they started transporting cultural treasures here from berlin battery taskbar the unit. there were supposedly 505 boxes,

but some say it was 605 boxes as to the bottom, 6 conduct since the spend. but at the end of the war, a few paintings of prussian kings brought here from braswell was all that remained of the vast treasure trove, the boxes and the whole ways containing the famous manuscripts had disappeared in my notes, and as late as may 1945 polish researchers looked for various cultural assets here they just sent everything to cracow and talked to the ag alone in library. so the university library in cracow take and do any of us today to be taken care of. but after arriving and cracow, they officially disappeared without a trace for many decades. hypo steel. it was a very sensitive issue in poland, them and they knew exactly how valuable the collection was, how but until the 1970s, no one was allowed to talk about it at all. if it is,

i'm going to state a surprise in may. it was east german coming this new to every konica who started exciting pressure on the polish government. as a result, some books and a manuscript from mozart, what cost to east germany. but then in the mid 19 eighties published, president general jose else can you put a stop to the process and going to grab it for so that was a turning point toward this. and there was a commission of polish historians and legal experts. and that concluded the collection should belong to poland, pointing support in good hands or hopes for a return of the building car did not re surface into off to german reunification. when get hutch with a promise, germany support the poland rapidly joining the youth in return, a bible translated by martin luther from 1522 was returned to bill and i stopped by employee to the point to where there was

a project to where both sides were suppose to return each other's cultural assets once it's picked up and it didn't work because germany didn't return many polish assets pointing to show it to a good product. a gave them say, i mean, do you have any examples to escape? first in the middle, there were various paintings from renaissance artists that were stored in unit convention, some in hamburg. so they were spread around to work as a human 1st prize. then last year you always loved kitchen, steve, the leader of poland, governing law and justice party. and now it's to poland, would say 1.3 trillion euros in more time, reparations from germany. clearly, not a good time to getting the billing to returned your call units or not just about reparations. it's about settling a model that no longer a significant guessing. we mustn't forget that an estimated 70 to 75 percent of poland is cultural. heritage was destroyed in the health and, and that was no coincidence. and there was

a real intention to inoculate polish culture going to go to it for, for ignition the wrongs of the past to continue to cloud the presence. one consolation for germany, at least some of the menus groups and now available in digital form, including the original of beethoven's eighths, infinity, and frigid schiller's medical faces. the sketches from adults, south america, expedition are also available. but what about the originals? will they have a return to building it's not on the agenda right now. it's the collection will very likely remain in poland. from a political viewpoint, there's nothing more that can be done. next, minimize the, even in this age of digitalization, the whole debate of a restitution shows that it is absolutely about the originals,

the or the symbolic value. and the respects for the original loan of a spiritual leader from cameron took a 12 hour flight to boom in last year to visit the original sculpture of these people's mythical founding goddess. for the fun of the song, people went to the building and humbled for him to see the in going so figured for the very 1st time. it's been in germany for a 120 years in the eyes of the phone. the in gun. so is a spiritual being the and for the 1st time in a 120 years, she was hearing the voice of a priest. he brought water and vegetation from his homeland to revive, to this ritual, also included

a royal spokesman who inhaled and then verbalized the woods of the funds to conclude, shows that he, he will not change his hon. touch can go in so no, but we will do what it's when going. so finally, allies in so a palace which is the life this initial one. so 2 months later, outside the national museum of you, i one day the capital of cameron the fund received. so it is for a traditional celebration known as the toy fund, the, the impending return have been gone. so was the subject on everyone's minds here. and on stage 2, the message to bowman was clear. the so people are waiting. they wanted to know

when will the mother of the nation finally returns camera, right? the, a to him of that message on the phone even broke with royal protocol and gave an impromptu interview. he said he couldn't understand why the in gun so is still in berlin. of the as much as this is for the length of time than one. so it has been a week many things have happened in the line due to the absolutely. so i'm going so because it has to stop that dispute each quality on the, on the people his 5 is was. but when the gentleman came, the keys, his father, she's people. and then one of the consequences,

which she would like to put to know is the device to think if it's of the out of a phone crisis on his lawn hadn't been needed that we did, he turned on going. so certainly some piece will come for 6 years. war has been raging in the land of this so largely forgotten by the outside world. a devastating stand off between cameron's english speaking minority and the frank assigned majority. thousands of so have had to leave the homeland moving to neighboring regions for the capital one day to cities, desperately over crowded. sorry to make is sylvie jabante was one of those forced to flee. her film school had to close because of the civil war. she has worked hard to have the incoming server time to come over and it was a social media campaign bring back and gone. so that got everything moving

you know, i had come to the understanding of home gonzalez and so is today and i was really very angry. so the address, let us, they went to the gym on presidente, who has been around 20082010. so i said to myself that these crimes were committed in public and they were proud of it. and today, just a holding that mentality, that mindset reactions. so why not talk about it as well? and probably also, you know, influence public opinion to also let those who don't know, understand the impact of colonialism. and i, i must say that the social media company and really pushed for things to happen was that the pressure of that campaign that finally caused 1000000000 to rethink its position on the in guns. so, oh, sylvie, to bodies, personal trips to germany, as an official restitution commission appointed by the phone. either way,

in the end, the official decision was taken to return to england. so to cameron, the pressure and cultural heritage foundation that was holding the statute relented . see how much equity at the bottom they explained to us why this figure is so important to them and i can show and then it was quite clear to us that we wanted to return it and that we should return it again. but we've always said that for us, there are 2 types of restitution for 2 reasons for returning items. what's in the, the 1st place looked at the items were taken in the clear context of injustice extortionate robbery. then good talking deal north american. and secondly, if we notice in the dialogue that certain objects often of original nature have key significance for the identity of the countries and societies of origin. rhetoric configuring attend detailed tom. i remember when he was handing over by the decision to return during the process of reading this letter that he,

he really went for emotional. and i think that that is progress. having to understand that irrespective of the institutions we were present, we a human beings in the in cameroon, has now pledge to prepare a safe and appropriate home for the in guns. so by december 2023, this neg headed museum of form bon in a region neighboring this. so homeland is currently under consideration to use germany was unwilling to return cultural artifacts. the times have changed and a new process has been set in motion. the
