Pemulwuy was an Aboriginal man who was in Sydney when the British landed in 1788 and would go on to lead a decade long war of resistance against them.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are warned that this story features people who have died.

Kulasegaram Sanchayan brings the story in Tamil with a feature written by Amelia Dunn.
