I live here but it's not home: Judy Chester and Janny Ely

Aunty Judy Chester and Aunty Janny Ely are from the Wellington Valley. Native Title is very important to them because it recognises both their Aboriginality and their status as traditional people. Like their parents, they lived in Sydney for many years, but do not call it home. Aunty Judy died not long after this interview and is buried in Wellington.

PLEASE NOTE

All the video recordings on this website were made at least a decade ago. Some are fifteen years old.

What the speakers say on camera was based on their own knowledge and researches at the time each video was made. Since then a great deal of information has come to hand which may make some of the information first recorded now outdated. Therefore please regard this website as a period piece presenting knowledge held and believed at the time of recording.
