Jamaica will intensify efforts for the repatriation of its cultural and natural heritage artefacts taken from Jamaica by the British and housed in museums and universities in the United Kingdom. The negotiation for the return of a whole repository of artefacts from the Tainosis is ongoing. The country also works on reparations related to the slave trade. Recently, Minister of Culture Olivia Grange received a delegation from churches in the United Kingdom during which the United Reform Church apologised for its role in this trade.
