Episode Details

After sixty years at the South Australian Museum, the remains of Aboriginal stockman Thomas Cowell are finally returning home — a poignant repatriation happening during Reconciliation Week. Descendants, joined by police, will travel from Adelaide to Coober Pedy, then to Witjira National Park for a smoking ceremony, an overnight camp, and his reburial. This landmark return, made possible through years of research and collaboration, marks a significant first step for the museum’s new repatriation efforts — though thousands of other ancestral remains still await their journey home.
