Government 'considers this matter to be of considerable importance,' heritage minister writes

Ottawa is throwing its weight behind an effort to repatriate the remains of two Indigenous people taken from a Newfoundland gravesite in 1828 that are now at a museum in Scotland. Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly has taken the unusual step of notifying the director of National Museums Scotland that Canada will make a formal demand.

The remains are Nonosabasut and his wife Demasduit, two of the last Beothuks, an Indigenous people declared extinct in 1829. Some historians have claimed the Beothuks were the victims of genocide.

Demasduit was kidnapped by a European fur trapper in March 1819, to retaliate for an alleged theft by her tribe. Nonosabasut was killed that same year as he tried to rescue his wife, who was given the name Mary March by her English captors. Demasduit died of tuberculosis in January 1820, and was returned to Beothuk land to be buried at Red Indian Lake. A few years later, a Scottish explorer retrieved the two skulls and some grave goods, which eventually made their way to Edinburgh.

Shanawdithit, captured in 1823, died at St. John's in 1829, and is regarded as the last of the Beothuks. Nonosabasut and Demasduit were her aunt and uncle.

Kill off the natives, then play games with their bones.

Sounds very familiar here in the US.
