When Pemulwuy grew into manhood, he became Bemul Wagan, which represents "the earth and the crow". According to Dharug Indigenous activist Uncle 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 Wagan, which means "crow".
