Abstract
Abstract Warfare in northern Uganda has killed tens of thousands of Acholi people. Survivors perceive the dead as having agency to negatively affect the living when improperly buried according to Acholi tradition. This ongoing ethnographic research examines if and how improper burials and associated spiritual disturbances are linked to different avenues for reconciliation, memorialization, or reparations and if forensic science could play a role in mitigating the perceptions of spiritual disturbances.
