A boomerang and stone knives are among six cultural artefacts being returned to Indigenous Australians from the Otago museum today.

The items were taken more than a century ago, and have been part of the Tūhura Otago Museum collection.

The artefacts belong to the Warumungu people of the Tennant Creek region in the Northern Territory.

Tūhura Otago Museum director of collections and research Robert Morris spoke to Māni Dunlop.
