A traditional owner says a decision not to publicly release an independent report into the burial is insulting to native title holders.
abc.net.au/news/mungo-man-reburial-nsw-government-cleared-traditional-owners/101369440An independent report has concluded the reburial of 46,000-year-old Indigenous remains was done "accordingly" despite going against the wishes of some traditional owners.
Mungo National Park is home to three Aboriginal groups including majority native title holders, the Baakantji-Paakantyi people, along with the Mutthi Mutthi, and the Ngiyampaa tribes. "It's really important to acknowledge the terrific sensitivities that exist around that particular incident and also the profoundness of what occurred in the sense of the repatriation," Mr Griffith said.Environment and Heritage acting coordinator-general Atticus Fleming said the decision to reinter the skeletons was in line with the wishes of the federal government.
"They still refused to be accountable for what happened out there and now it appears they are just covering it up," Mr Young said.
