Maureen Sulter is the great granddaughter of Mary Jane Cain, Queen of Burrabeedee. Mary Jane Cain was given this title because she wrote several letters to Queen Victoria who eventually titled her a small section of land where the Burrabeedee Mission was built on. Sulter grew up in Burrabeedee and trained to be a teacher. By 1994, Sulter was the only fully qualified Indigenous teacher in the Barabine area.
