Neville Williams

Neville Chappy Williams (c. 1940), also known as Uncle Chappy, is an elder of the Wiradjuri Aboriginal people in the Australian state of New South Wales. He is one of the leading personalities of the Tent Embassy, the issues identified in the Aboriginal rights and is built since 1972 in Canberra directly at the Old Parliament House.

He sits down further to ensure that the gold mine mining Barrick Gold Corporation, the largest gold mining company in the world, at Lake Cowal is terminated, as this sacred places of the Wiradjuri in their existence and the ecology of landscapes are threatened.

Williams was in the 1960s a sport boxer who won many battles and as a member of the Australian boxer selection participated in the Summer Olympics in Tokyo in 1964.
