University of Queensland senior Indigenous academic Jackie Huggins says relying on a sole Indigenous director on the museum board is particularly sensitive.

The museum is funded to coordinate the repatriation of hundreds of Indigenous remains and sacred objects from overseas museums and manage their identification and return to the communities from which they were removed.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06-20/langbroek-remains-silent-over-aboriginal-leadership-changes/106817420
"Now whitefellas can't do this at all," Dr Huggins said.

“It has to be the people who have networks through the museum, but also have the networks out to the country.

"It's really important that you have senior people who have been around, like Cheryl Buchanan and others, to set the cultural governance of that institution." #qldpol #IndigenousIP
