What it will go towards as proposed by Judee on Demonology:

Let's help Aussie's family with their Pukumani Tribute to honour Aussie's dear father. We fans can show our respect and love independant of anything the club organises and I am sure it will be noticed and appreciated. I have made a few calls and Judith R. has kindly already called Jilamara Arts and Craft Association on behalf of Demonology (and hopefully Demonland) who are happy to handle the contributions and make sure all goes to the specific needs. Perhaps to the cost of a Pukumani pole? All these things including feeding all guests can be really expensive.

This is a genuine question and I in no way mean any disrespect to anyone by asking it. I am not insinuating anything or accusing anyone of anything, just asking because I want to know the answer ...

What is this money going towards? What will be done with the money?

It's a fair question. Donations will be handled by the Jilamara Arts and Craft Association. Those who donate will need to trust that they will handle the money appropriately.

It is not a specific tribute fund in it's own right.

You must have just missed the post previous to yours. A Pukumani pole has been suggested along with specific needs.

Thanks for picking that up High Tower.

Sorry everyone, I missed that bit.

Added it to my post so it's all together.

Tutini funerary poles for the Pukamani ceremony

Prior to 1924

painted and sculpted wood

Northern Territory, Melville Island

Tiwi Population

cat. 100629-100638

A Tiwi myth tells how the first funeral ceremony called pukamani was organized at the time of creation. At that time all things were immortal, until the goddess Wai-ai broke the law, causing the death of her small son Jinaini. His father, the god Purakapali, thus created the first pukamani ceremony, to weep over his son, and decreed that from then on anyone who died would follow his son into the world of the spirits. Together with Tokampini, the bird-man, Purukapali sculpted the first great painted poles that were planted around the burial place near the sea. In the same way he created the songs, dances and symbols that are painted on the occasion of the pukamani, transmitting all this to his people. The pukamani ceremony assures life after death and permits the deceased to reach the world of the spirits where he will live forever. Even today, when a person dies, his whole group of relatives is mobilized to celebrate the funeral ceremony. Some cut the pole, while others prepare the body for burial. Among the relatives, before the ceremony those declared Pukamani (this term also indicates the goods of the deceased and his relatives) must observe very strict food and sexual taboos. Moreover the pukamani relatives decorate their bodies with white paint and wear particular ornaments like the pamajini (bundles of pandanus leaves), while they sing and weep for the deceased. Before a pukamani ceremony, the group must settle all arguments. From a social point of view, this ceremony strengthens the bonds of the group. Moreover, the observance of the pukamani guarantees equilibrium between the society of men and nature and ensures good seasons. From an iconographical point of view, the pole represents the totem of the tribe to which the deceased belonged.

Come on fellas, those guys over at Demonology are putting you to shame :o

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
