The family of Kumanjayi Little Baby have announced the details for her funeral.
The five-year-old girl disappeared from the Old Timers Town Camp outside Mparntwe/Alice Springs on April 25.
After an exhaustive search, involving hundreds of police, community members and volunteers, her body was found five days later in the dry Todd River bed.
Jefferson Lewis, 47, has been charged with her murder and two other offences.
In the wake of her death, an outpouring of grief, both in Alice Springs and across the country, saw vigils take place, with thousands wearing pink — her favourite colour — to pay their respects.
