Judee from Demonology is raising funds for a tribute.

I'll presume some BSB and account numbers will be added soon.

I'm good for $75

    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: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
