Wirritjin is Ramindjeri for "Blackfella and Whitefella coming together as one" Peggera:lin is Ramindjeri for "Dreaming "
We are hoping to build something beautiful to honour Karno's vision for a world where black & white work together to heal our communities and the natural world we share.
The aim of this site is to honour the memory of Ramindjeri Elder Uncle Karno Walker by chronicling his many achievements and to help bring forth his vision of "Wirritjin Peggera:lin" and "Mum:mo:wee Nunkaree:Wallin Me We" which is Ramindjeri for Blackfella and Blackfella coming together in peace.
This Website and a Book written by Friends and Relatives of Karno that knew him called "Blak to my Roots" are the first two of many projects that will be undertaken by the Wirritjin Peggera:lin Executive Committee.
You can purchase "Blak to my Roots" Below.
Blak to my Roots
We have never met or heard of anyone like him. Karno was a Ramindjeri Elder of the highest degree, practitioner of magician, a Law-man, and Old Way Cultural custodian, martial arts expert, musician and had proven ability to talk to all manner of animals and ants.
His story is all about how we used to function and exist and could do so again.
