After a lengthy process and talks between the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn and the Quebec Algonquin First Nations, it was decided that Kitigan Zibi First Nation would take the lead role in the Repatriation of Algonquin Ancestral Remains and Burial Artifacts from the Canadian Museum of Civilization. The actual removal of the Ancestral Remains and Burial Artifacts took place on Aboriginal Solidarity Day, June 21, 2005. The burial boxes were transported from the Museum to Kitigan Zibi for traditional re-burial.
