Ancestral remains have been returned to representatives of the Pacific island of Rapa Nui at a ceremony near Christchurch at the weekend.
The skulls have been in the possession of the Canterbury and Otago museums for more than 70 years.
A delegation from Rapa Nui received the tipuna after a pōwhiri at Tuahiwi Marae on Saturday... Logan Church was there.
