Tensions ran high in Australia's Alice Springs as mourners gathered on Saturday to bid a somber farewell to Kumanjayi Little Baby, a five-year-old Indigenous girl whose death has left the nation in shock.

The child, whose death in April resulted in violent clashes, is being remembered fondly by her community, donning pink for her funeral, a nod to her favorite color. The city's Indigenous population has been immersed in 'sorry business' practices, a period of mourning and cultural reverence.

The situation has put a spotlight on the unequal living conditions faced by Indigenous Australians, prompting calls for improved housing and services. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed the urgent need for change following the events.
