Personal facts like his name, age, and cause of death are unknown, lost to history.
Nathan Moran, the CEO of the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council, has been with Uncle since the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford handed back their collection of human remains in October 2023.
“That’s the greatest feeling of all, is to know he’s home.
“He hears the sounds of his mob, of his environment, and they met him, and they’re still with him now. It’s now good to walk away knowing he’s back where he belongs.”
