From North America to Australia, what to do about all that early recording has raised serious questions of cultural equity for some years. “Repatriation” means giving people back the artifacts and even the bones of their ancestors, but it took a long time for that term to enter the conversation about musical ownership. When the work finally started in the 1980s, it became clear that it is actually easier to give back their musical heritage to groups than it is to return other types of memory traces, since an archive can make identical copies both for itself and the descendants of the musicians.
