Pemulwuy (also rendered as Pimbloy, Pemulvoy, Pemulwoy, Pemulwy, Pemulwye, or sometimes by contemporary Europeans as Bimblewove or Bumbleway) (c.
1750 – 2 June 1802) was a Aboriginal Australian of Eora descent, born around 1750 in the area of Botany Bay in New South Wales.
He is noted for his resistance to the European settlement of Australia which began with the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788.
He is believed to have been a member of the Bidjigal (Bediagal) clan of the Eora people..
The Bidjigal people are the original inhabitants of Toongabbie and Parramatta in Sydney. Pemulwuy lived near Botany Bay.
Pemulwuy may have been a carradhy (healer).
Pemulwuy would hunt meat and provide it to the food-challenged new colony in exchange for goods.
However, in 1790 Pemulwuy began a twelve-year guerilla war against the British, which continued until his assassination.When Pemulwuy grew into manhood he became Bembul Wuyan, which represents "the earth and the crow".
According to Indigenous activist Richard Green "he wasn't very impressed with the mix of cultures.
He preferred that we stayed within our own peoples".
Another name for him was "Butu Wargun" which means "crow".
