Inca Artifacts

By now I'm sure you've all heard about the issue between Yale and Peru about Inca Artifacts removed almost 100 years ago and taken to Yale for research. Peru has asked for the return of these artifacts but Yale refuses saying they've been 'good stewards' of the artifacts for almost 100 years and they want to keep them for the next 100 years and beyond.

It sounds to me a lot like the time the Brits decided the Aboriginal people had no claim to the land here because they didn't make any improvements.

Do you think Yale should return the artifacts?
