The remains of six Native Americans who died after being exhibited in a “human zoo” in Paris in 1892 have now been kept in the archives of a French museum for over a century. A delegation of indigenous Kali’na people from French Guiana and Suriname recently came to Paris to demand their return – but there are major legal obstacles to overcome before that can happen.
The remains of the six Kali’na have been stored in large, grey cardboard boxes at the Museum of Mankind for 132 years.
