How would i got about the situation..

We have a number of museums in the UK which have returned 'stolen' artifacts to their indiginous homeland. The basis of the return being that the artifact was removed from its natural environment without the permission of the local people.
I believe that the people asking for their return are fully representative of a group / tribe and that the artifacts will either be reburied with an appropriate ceremony or housed in a suitable, protective environment to allow native people to view it.
I don't know where you are, but if you approach your country's culture ministry they may be able to help.
Note that it may be quite a drawn-out process and the applicable costs may be high. (These are not necessarily met by the people who currently possess the item)
Hope this helps

You would have to have a complete provenance of them first, before you approached whatever institution has them now. Perhaps you should ask this question in the "law" section.

This has just happened. After a long fight, Australian aboriginees have had skeletal remains returned. You just need a good lawyer, and about 20 years of your life to fight the good fight.
