During a repatriation ceremony at Chapel House in November, Colgate returned more than 1,500 funerary objects to the Oneida Indian Nation. The collection is composed of items once buried with ancestral remains, including ceramic pots and figurines. It represents one of the largest single repatriations in New York State history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of the sacred belongings came into the University\u2019s possession through a collection acquired in 1959 from the family of an amateur archaeologist. Housed in the Longyear Museum of Anthropology, \u201cit should never have been acquired,\u201d said President Brian W. Casey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event marks the fifth repatriation undertaken in partnership with the Oneida Indian Nation since 1995, and \u201cit will not be the University\u2019s last,\u201d Casey added. \u201cThe work to do what is right continues.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During a repatriation ceremony at Chapel House in November, Colgate returned more than 1,500 funerary objects to the Oneida Indian Nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1272,"featured_media":11476,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,1],"tags":[1071,1407,1405,1406],"coauthors":[135],"class_list":["post-11439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scene","category-uncategorized","tag-brian-casey","tag-longyear-museum-of-anthropology","tag-oneida-indian-nation","tag-repatriations"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/palXSH-2Yv","amp_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/20221109_ntv_amrcn_artf_429.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1272"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11439"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11439\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11497,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11439\/revisions\/11497"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11439"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.colgate.edu\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=11439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
