Aboriginal culture usually refrains from showing pictures of the dead or mentioning their names. It is considered highly disrespectful towards the deceased and is particularly distressing for the family of the dead person to have their loved ones portrayed in this way. This is particularly so for respected elders.
I understand that this individual died a significant time ago, but given his important status, his descendents may be quite offended by the picture being shown on Wikipedia. It might be worth considering removing the picture and editing the text as a mark of respect to his family. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.137.234.28 (talk • contribs).
