member of the 'Stolen Generation' having been removed from her family as a four-and-a-half year old from a Mainoru Station in central Arnhem Land in 1949.[4][5] At first, she related that she was excited to be going for a ride when a red truck came to pick her up without her mother's knowledge, but then she started to miss her mother and cry after they left Mainoru.{{Sfn|Smith|2004|p=89}} She was taken to Maranboy Police Station and then lived at Croker Island.[6] Her name was changed and she was taught to be ashamed of her Aboriginal identity while growing up in the

an adult, she returned to see her mother, Lindsay.{{Sfn|Smith|2004|p=98}} CareerCummings was the first Indigenous person in the Northern Territory to qualify as a pre-school teacher.[2] She also

consultation in the development of the Aboriginal Family Violence Strategy and was a co-author.[2]{{Sfn|Smith|2004|p=101-102}} She is the Chairperson of the Northern Territory Stolen Generations
