Cover Story: Buried in 1858, Cornelis Kok II’s grave lay undisturbed in Campbell, South Africa, until 1961 when a multiracial coalition, following diverse goals, exhumed his bones. In the 1990s, calls for their return and reburial asserted a spectrum of Griqua and Khoisan identities. The 2007 reinterment courted controversy while today’s neglect of the gravesite provokes feelings of exclusion for some Campbell Griqua. Tracing the history of the bones, we show how an array of actors mobilized Kok II’s remains differently at various times. Some sought scientistic confirmation of identity during apartheid, while post-apartheid calls for repatriation drew on global Indigenous imperatives, and factional conflicts over ownership. Marshalled towards different political ends, for all actors, the bones offer a resource and link to a 19th century frontier past. View this paper
