(But that's why Dad was called Tungku -because someone called Bruce had died). It was a very special honour to be given a Pitjantjatjara name at your baptism and Andy Tjilari, who baptised you, gave you his name as your Pitj name. It aso put you into the kinship system out there and it followed on for Dad and me also. Natalie was also given a Pitj name when she was baptised. Hi Mattie, actually no one had died with your name.
