A lot of US museums have been caught up in the politically correct tide, returning human remains to their home countries, or native tribes. Other displays have been shuffled off to the back room to avoid criticism.
I looked for a story I read while putting this shrunken heads post together, and Googled "museums returning human remains"... I got 383,000 hits.
