Lydia Elias

Categories: 
Elders' Biographies

As a child, Lydia was raised by her mother’s sister, Annie Vaneltsi and her husband William Vaneltsi. “All the way up almost to Mayo and half way to Dawson, all that country people travelled in those days. My aunt went everywhere these people travelled. They never travelled without me. Just like a little puppy, I followed,” recalls Lydia.
