I will ask someone in family with Masters degree in Indigenous Social Poliices. Perhaps more accurate than my knowledge.

Edited to add: It seems that offence is given by naming not only to the deceased but also to living .

This interview addresses the question of how to avoid cultural errors in referring to Yaku-miriw the musician, and also the circumstances that have taken him from sight.

"Long grass" is a reference to living rough, literally sometimes amongst the long grass (often two metres high*) of the Territory. All else is self-explanatory I think.

I have encountered the music of the musician, known for playing the guitar upside down, on a number of occasions. He sung in his native language, which I do not speak, but his tone carried such depth and emotion that it didn't seem to matter.

May his memory endure. [Votive]

Betty Cuthbert, the Olympic athlete, has died at 79. Basicaslly untrained for years, she won four gold medals but had suffered for years from multiple sclerosis. At Sydney Olymocs in 2000, she was pushed onto the arena in a wheelchair carrying the torch by Raelene Boyle, another Aussie athlete, a cancer survivor.

For those of us who have some interest in biblical studies.

Bruce Malina (1933-2017) has died, a scholar who introduced Mediterranean cultural anthropology into NT studies. I've only read his The New Testament World: Insights from Cultural Anthropology and I'm sure others would be better placed to comment on his work.

I put a display of Brian Aldiss books on the counter of the bookshop where I work (we call it the Desth Spot, because we display books by or about anyone who's just died there) - only to be asked; "Is he a local author?"
"No, he's just died. I was lucky enough to see him at the London World SF Con."
"Oh - does he write science fiction then?"
Sigh.

A quite noted British SF critic was asked by Nature magazine if he would write an appreciation of Aldiss. He was up for it, until he learned that Nature was expecting him to do it gratis.

He may not have been much known outside musical circles, but the composer Derek Bourgeois, who wrote the incidental music to the television series The Barchester Chronicles, and was D's composition tutor when he was at Bristol in the 1970s, has died aged 75.

May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

Sue Grafton, author of the 'alphabet' mystery books starting with A is for Alibi . I think she may have finished Z is For ?? but it hasn't yet been published.

I haven't read the whole series, but I always grabbed a new one when I saw it in the library. She was a reliable author and I liked her characters.

Also enjoyed her work, Huia. Thanks for mentioning her here.

And, I believe a "Z" book was planned but not written and the family has said that it will not be done by anyone else.

She had mostly quit writing fiction -- she said that well had gone dry, a curiously comforting reflection, because that's a thought that frightens all fictioneers. If Ursula could do it we can all do it. But she was still writing essays, ephemera about her cat, and keeping her hand in. She was old and comfortable with it, an art we could all learn. Someone has pointed out how many of her works are about death and coming to an accomodation with our mortality.
