Eric Bell is a Ngunnawal Elder who grew up on Hollywood Mission which is on the outskirts of the Township of Yass, New South Wales. He has served as Chairperson of Buranya Aboriginal Cooperation. In 2009, part of Bell's life story was featured in the National Museum of Australia's exhibition From Little Things Big Things Grow: Fighting For Indigenous Rights 1920-1970 because he was one of the last people old enough to remember life on the mission.
