STATEMENT REGARDING
THE LATE YOLŊU ACTOR, DANCER, PAINTER
DAVID GULPILIL RIDJIMIRARIL DALAITHNGU

The Yolŋu Community & kin of the late David Gulpilil Ridjimiraril Dalaithngu wish to thank the nation for their respectful adherence to the request that he be referred to as David Dalaithngu for the immediate period following his passing.

David was an inimitable talent who ‘walked between two worlds’, that of his Country and Culture, and that of the film world, placing him in a unique position regarding posthumous naming cultural practice.

David wanted people to know his name, remember his work, and know his immense legacy to Australian cinema and Australian culture. He was rightfully proud. He wanted his storytelling through film to be shared, to be on the record for the generations to come.

As were his wishes, the Community now give permission for all of his names to be used.
He may be referred to as:
David Gulpilil
David Gulpilil Ridjimiraril Dalaithngu
David Gulpilil AM
David Gulpilil Ridjimiraril Dalaithngu AM

The permission remains to use his image in films and photographs.


Mandjalpingu is the name of his clan.
He’s from Ramingining Arnhem Land.
His homeland is Marwuyu.

In his own words:

“My skin group name Balang.
My language is Mandhalpingu
My moiety is Dhuwa.
My mother is same and my father side is same.
My name is Gulpilil, you know what that means? Kingfisher.
That’s my name, that’s my totem, that’s what I sing, that’s what I believe.
My name is in the tree, in the fish, in the sky, in the star, in the earth, in the storm, day and night.”
- David Gulpilil Ridjimiraril Dalaithngu

Last night and this morning, the world has learned that we have lost a legend of our lifetime, a national and global treasure. An incredible man and famous Yolŋu actor, dancer, artist.

Mandjalpingu is the name of his clan. He was from Ramingining, Arnhem Land, Northern Territory. His homeland was Marwuyu.

His family has requested, now that he has passed, that he be referred to as

David Dalaithngu

(Please remove the names beginning with G & R from your references, images may be used)

In his own words:

“My name is in the tree,
in the fish, in the sky.
in the star, in the earth,
in the storm, day and night”

May you return home,
find your peace and rest now.

Kunyi June Anne McInerney was just four years old when she and three of her siblings were taken from their family to the Oodnadatta Children’s Home in South Australia in the 1960s.

Through an extraordinary collection of over 60 paintings, accompanied by stories, Kunyi presents a rare chronicle of what life was like for her and the other Children’s Home kids who became her family.

Her paintings are a healing trove of memories that reveal the loneliness, fear and courage of the Stolen Generation children who were torn from family and loved ones. From bible lessons to sucking bone marrow and collecting bush fruits, the escapades, adventures and sorrows of the children are painted with warmth, humour and unflinching honesty.

Kunyi’s story is one of healing and reconciliation. She is telling it so that the lives of the children at Oodnadatta Children’s Home will not be forgotten. This is a collection of tender and honest stories that will educate children on our nation’s history and remind adult readers of the real impact of the Stolen Generations.
