Pukamani Poles belong to the Indigenous Tiwi people. The Tiwi Islands are now called Bathurst Island and Melville Island and are a twenty minutes north of Darwin by light plane. Pukamani ploes represent individual people who have passed away and act as a mourning process that can continue after the deceased person has been buried. They are mortuary poles but do not go by this name to Indigenous people.

They worship the deitified Pharaoh after his death, preserve the memory of the Pharaoh (as at some point they believed that you needed your name to be remembered in order for you to reach the after life) and honour and appease his soul. They may have chapels in them however to deity's.
