At four years of age, she was forcibly removed from her family and community at Tennant Creek. She never again saw her mother, who died before Fejo was able to leave institutional care.[2] Fejo was initially sent to The Bungalow (in Alice Springs), and was later sent to Methodist missions on Goulburn Island and then Croker Island.[2]
Fejo was allowed to leave the mission at age sixteen, to take a domestic job in Darwin.[2]
In 1998 Fejo was given the Australian Medical Association's Best Individual Contribution to Healthcare in Australia Award, for her contribution as the coordinator of the Strong Women, Strong Babies, Strong Culture program in the Northern Territory.[4][5][6]
In 2000 Fejo was awarded the Centenary Medal, for services to the Aboriginal community.[7]
