Once, not as long ago as many would like to imagine, the remains of Australia's Indigenous people were pillaged and sent around the world.

Viewed as trophies, or scientific curiosities, they found their way to museums and private collections, far from Country and the families who loved them.

Efforts to bring those ancestors home have become more prominent, but many institutions still resist attempts at repatriation.

In the Drawing Room, Jason Tamiru and Jimi Bani discuss The Return, a new theatre show that takes audiences into that story, and looks to create a place for learning and for healing.
