Because Bentinck Island and its small surrounding islands were the whole world for the Kaiadilt people, they did not need a word for Bentinck Island itself, since in actual conversation what was always more important were the specific places, whose names rub shoulders every few hundred metres. So, when anthropologist Norman Tindale sought a translation for the European name Bentinck Island, to place on his epic 1962 map, he was given the name Dulka warngiid, which he translated as ‘land of all’, and it stuck. But it can equally well be translated as ‘the one place’, or ‘the whole world.’ Bruce Johnson McLean, "Dulka Warngiid: The Whole world" in Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori. Publication Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris, 2022.
