This Forum discussion aims to explore the topic of repatriation from a variety of viewpoints considering twenty-first century realities in the region. The contributions fall into three main categories addressing general background matters, presenting case studies and offering future directions. We hop that the differing perspectives assembled in this issue of JEMAHS will contribute to the ongoing debate regarding repatriation, curation and ownership of artifacts, some now housed far from their places of origin.
Cultural Resources play an important role in the future. They not only deliver information but also personal relatedness that is not replaceable by artificial intelligence. The maintenance and creative development of cultural resources is actually crucial to not only serve identity features of an ethnic group, a nation, a region, or whatever group of people. Maintaining cultural resources help sustain human individuality and human diversity.

The Repatriation: An Enigma of Anthropological Collections in Indian ScenarioIn the raging debate over Universal Museums and their right to hold on to objects gained through dubious means, an account of what the Universal Museum looks like, from the point of view of a source country. These museums remain a sign of past historical traumas for the source countries, but the call for repatriation of objects collected in colonial times can also have negative consequences for source nations.
Legal action on behalf of victims of terrorism has attempted to force the sale of cultural artifacts on loan to U.S. institutions in order to compensate those victims. Such action jeopardizes the participation of American institutions in international cultural exchanges. The authors maintain that archaeological artifacts should not be sold to satisfy a court judgment, regardless of the actions of a particular regime, and that it should be possible for nations to share their cultural heritage without fear of loss.
