The Glasgow Museum in Scotland will return the preserved tattooed heads of three Maori warriors to a Maori museum in New Zealand.
The Te Papa Tongarewa Museum conducted a world-wide search for Maori remains and discovered that the heads were in Scotland. They ended up there through a series of purchases.
The preserved heads are regarded as ancestors by the Maoris.
