Aunty Millie Ingram was 27 when the 1967 Referendum vote took place. She and her friends went to a Redfern pub to celebrate the result but were kicked out. However she still believes the 90.77 per cent of people who voted yes did so because they accepted Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the First Nations people.
These days she does a lot of talks, encouraging mutual respect as the pathway to reconciliation.
