Haunting photos show the Aboriginal people who were kept in 'The Human Zoo' that toured the world

Indigenous Australians were kept alongside animals and paraded around the world in what was called The Human Zoo. In the late 19th and mid 20th centuries up to 20 Aboriginal people, along with tens of thousands of other entrapped humans, were put on display around Europe and North America. The Palm Island community in North Queensland has been reunited with the remains of an ancestor who was exhibited in The Human Zoo, according to the ABC.
