A large group of remains held by German museums will be returned to Indigenous custodians in a ceremony in Berlin on Friday.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Arts Michael Danby is travelling to Germany tomorrow with a group of Aboriginal elders to receive the remains for repatriation and burial in Australia.

Six representatives of Indigenous communities in Cape York, Queensland and from South Australia will be going to Berlin to receive their ancestral remains in a formal ceremony. They have asked the media not to identify them or their communities and not to describe the exact nature of the remains.
