Please don t use pictures of restricted areas The restrictions don t just apply to Anangu people they apply to everyone In the areas I ve worked in there was a strong concern by senior members that people could get hurt by seeing restricted images For example if I as a woman see men in some parts of an initiation ceremony in this area there s a spirit that would come and rip my throat out And they as my adopted elder sisters obviously didn t want that to happen to me Now whether you believe that this would happen or not publishing such knowledge is deliberately promoting an idea that western inquiry is more important that Indigenous religion and I don t think that s valid in a case where non restricted photos could be used just as well
