Abstract
In this video, Wilson Galleguillos, an Indigenous authority from the Atacameño Community of Chiu Chiu, reflects on the repatriation process carried out by the National Museum of the American Indian in the United States, which culminated in the reburial of a "grandfather" or ancestor in the territories of the Atacameño Community of Chiu Chiu. He also shares critical insights into the role of archaeology in their territories and local beliefs regarding respect for "grandparents." The material was produced at home during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and shared with participants in the annual seminar on repatriation taught by Cressida Fforde from the Australian National University.
