Since the 1970s, the New Zealand National Museum Te Papa Tongarewa has been issuing demands for the return of mummified Māori heads (toi moko) despoiled during colonisation. 'Objects' of many statuses and definitions, toi moko generate different representations and symbolise many cultural visions or practices. As a place and actor of restitutions, the museum is the central space of the dispute. As one of the poles of the decolonial process, the Te Papa Tongarewa Museum bears the claims of its population as well as the bicultural policy of the New Zealand state. Similarly, the Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac Museum exemplifies and territorial- ises, through the restitution ceremony of 23 January 2012, these returns that confront different perceptions of heritage. This article examines the ways in which these museum institutions bring together all of these parameters and actors in order to carry out the returns of Māori human remains to Aotearoa, allowing us to question this museum revival in a decolonial context of heritage and culture.
