Cranmer said the panel will be displayed when it returns and will be featured in the U'mista Cultural Centre's expansion plans. "We've actually managed to get well over half of the human remains that are in the museum returned to their home communities," Neel said. The effort made to return the Sisiyutl panel shows goodwill and opens a conversation on how items like these can be returned, Neel added.
