This is interesting and important. @thecontinent.org has started “Museum of Stolen History: A limited series reclaiming what colonialism stole from us”. Part 1 about Ngwi Ndem (Bangwa Queen ). Curated by Shola Lawal, art direction by Wynona Mutisi.

Man Ray • The Bangwa Queen, 1937
To Harry Franklin, who obtained her in 1966, she is the Bangwa Queen. But to her people, the Lebang of the rolling Bangwa grasslands in Cameroon, she is Ngwi Ndem, the divine spouse who intercedes for those seeking fertility, bountiful harvests, and protection against evil.

Welcome to The Museum of Stolen History.
This season, we profiled eight historical artefacts from every corner of Africa. We call it The Museum of Stolen History, in recognition of the fact that much of Africa’s history has been looted or erased.

I am even more confused now than ever? Are restitutions done based on community requests or based on what the government of Cameroom deems fit to return.
