Australia has lost a giant. Yunupingu, a Yolngu man of the Gumatj clan, has passed away. (Please note, Yunupingu's name and photos in this thread have been approved for use by the family. You can read more here: )

@FranAusRight @LindaBurneyMP No. Due to his importance to the Australian nation. I’d doubt Yolngu people would be reading Twitter threads at this time. Look at it as an act of cultural generosity if you have a mind that is open and works.

@FranAusRight @LindaBurneyMP Tell you what would be ‘culturally offensive’… to use them without the approval of the family. As others have said, it is important for our whole nation to acknowledge this man.
