Ancestral Statue
Yes, you can have it choose itself, because at the time its triggered ability goes on the stack, it is a permanent that can be chosen. Not sure why you would want to, but you can.
Note: If it said "Return another nonland permanent..." Then you would not be able to, because it would not be able to target itself.
Also note: This ability does not target, so if for some reason it had shroud or protection, you would still be able to return it to your hand.
