# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Strategies for the Repatriation of Ancestors and Legacy Archaeology
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 am
- **Event Description**: Universities and museums have participated in the harmful practice of taking Indigenous belongings and human remains for generations. Repatriation is a vital step in addressing that legacy, but how should it be carried out?

Dr Reno Nims, Research Assistant Professor, Dept. of Research & Graduate Studies at Portland State University, will share broadly applicable insights learned from nearly five years of repatriation work in the northwest United States.

His presentation will foster kōrero about best practices for addressing historical injustices; maintaining spiritually safe, culturally-affirming campuses in the present; and preventing future harms to ancestors and their descendants.

Originally from California, Reno Nims (PhD, RPA) completed his MS in Anthropology at Portland State University (Oregon) in 2016 and then moved to Aotearoa to pursue his doctorate at the University of Auckland. His PhD thesis (2022) focuses on the human ecodynamics of northern Māori fisheries and legacy zooarchaeology collections.
