Sacred Grove Western Isles

SGWI CAMPAIGNS RELATING TO ANCIENT BURIAL SITES & REBURIAL ISSUES

Sacred Grove Western Isles liaises with the organisation Honouring the Ancient Dead [ HAD ]regarding its ongoing projects on reburial issues, including gathering data from UK Museums, and Universities etc relating to eventual reburial, respect and care of all archaeological finds that are Human Remains.

CAN YOU HELP HAD WITH RESEARCH IN YOUR LOCAL MUSEUMS?

Full details and explanation of HAD's ethics and intentions are to be found on the above link to their website.

HAD states "Honouring the Ancient Dead is a British network organisation that advocates respect for ancient pagan human remains and related artefacts"

Sacred Grove Western Isles

is asking you to take a few minutes to read the info on the

Museums' project,

where HAD is compiling a database

as to why, which and how many ancestoral and ancient remains are held,

what is their condition, the levels of respect paid to their bones

including what policies are in place to care for and

whether the Museums' might agree to returning the remains to

the site of origin.

If you can spare time to visit your local Museum or any others when you are in their area,

please either use the button Contact Us on this site or go directly to HAD via the link or this email: office@honour.org.uk

HAD will guide you as to what to ask, and what information is required.

Please remember to keep updating HAD as to which museums you have been to or contacted.

SGWI would also be happy to host the results of these enquirys and display replys received

for the benifit of all interested parties.

So far representatives of Sacred Grove Western Isles have visited Cheltenham, Plymouth and Sheffield Museums - all of which were very respectful to us and fully co-operative at the first enquiry of curators who were very obliging and assured us that they were aware of great sensitivty being required, and we were encouraged to write in for further information.
