En la presente nota se da a conocer una experiencia de trabajo surgida a partir del pedido de la restitución de restos mortales de la comunidad tehuelche-mapuche de la localidad de Sarmiento, provincia de Chubut. Estos restos habían sido hallados en 1979 en el Cerro Yanquenao, al norte del lago Colhue Huapi, por Carlos J. Gradín. Desde entonces estuvieron conservados en el Instituto de Arqueología de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA). Aquí se describen los pasos seguidos en el proceso de la restitución, en el cual intervinieron, además de miembros de la comunidad y del Instituto, las autoridades del Programa Nacional de Identificación y Restitución de Restos Humanos Indígenas del Instituto Nacional de Asuntos Indígenas (INAI) y de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la UBA. Esta experiencia contribuyó, una vez más, a la reflexión acerca de nuestras prácticas profesionales como arqueólogos y de la necesidad de instalar nuevas formas de diálogo y de interacción entre académicos, instituciones, autoridades estatales y comunidades originarias.
