Abstract
Globally, the repatriation and reburial of human remains, the restitution of cultural property and the recognition of the existence of sacred sites of indigenous communities is an open challenge to the scientific and academic community, mainly European who claim the ownership right of their collections. The questioning of this right highlights the controversy between academic knowledge and indigenous traditional knowledge. In this paper, this demand is analyzed from the perspective of change in perception, with special emphasis on its epistemological implications.
