Moses Tjalkabota – Orator and Evangelist

Moses Tjalkabota was a charismatic and well-known personality in Central Australia. An Arrarnte man, his early years were spent on country in a traditional Aboriginal lifestyle, learning Arrarnte culture from his elders. As a child, he was schooled on the Hermannsburg Mission. Known affectionately as Blind Moses, he became an evangelist. Regarded as a master storyteller and public speaker, he attracted large crowds whenever he preached in public. Although he was blind, he travelled vast distances over Central Australia to share his message with Aboriginal people in their communities.
