Lucy Napaljarri Kennedy grew up at Coniston Station. Her father hunted dingoes for scalps to sell to the station owners. Kennedy milked cows and worked as a housegirl doing domestic duties. When Yuendumu Mission was established in 1946, many people moved there from Coniston Station, Mount Doreen, and Ti-tree. Her people belong to the Yunkaranyi (Honey Ant) Dreaming.
