Laura Bootham, Te Manu Korihi-Laura.Bootham@radionz.co.nz. A moving ceremony at Te Papa was held today to welcome home ancestral remains of tangata whenua to Aotearoa. The repatriation to the national museum in Wellington is the largest of its kind in New Zealand's history.he MÄori leader or KaihautÅ« at Te Papa, Arapata Hakiwai, says overseas museums are starting to support the repatriation of indigenous people's remains and Te Papa is negotiating to have more ancestral remains repatriated. The challenge now is to ensure that these remains have a final resting place, he says.
The question of whether Te Papa will have to charge a door fee or charge more has cropped up a lot recently, he says. âItâs the $1.25 million dollar question.â. The $1.25 million would be the deficit between what they currently get from the council ($2.26 million) and what the council proposes to reduce it to, he says.hey may have to consider having more exhibitions with an entry fee, but it is the reality of losing this chunk of money. The pressure is on all the commercial parts of Te Papa to make up the money, which includes the car park, functions and conferences venues, and gift shops, he says.
