    London's Natural History Museum has agreed to return ancestral remains collected in the 19th century to the people of Australia's Torres Strait Islands. This  announcement on Thursday was followed by a year and a half of dialogue involving the museum, islanders and the Australian government. The museum said 138 pieces of remains would be returned. Most of the remains came from a cave on the island of Pulu, a site sacred to the Mabiuag islanders in Australia.
