La encuesta a los profesionales peruanos sobre el tema de repatriación.

The article presents the results of a survey conducted with Peruvian professionals on the repatriation of heritage. Less than 20% of the respondents answered, and opinions are discussed regarding the familiarity of official institutions with exiled heritage, ownership of heritage, the urgency of repatriation, and the availability of suitable places to store and exhibit repatriated heritage. The need for a serious heritage policy and intelligent repatriation strategies is emphasized. The importance of the role of native communities in the management of repatriation is also mentioned. According to Mariana Mould de Pease, the low response rate from the consulted specialists is due to the highly controversial nature of the topic and Peruvian legislation favoring private collecting of pre-Columbian art.
