The Stolen Generation (1 gen 1910 anni – 1 gen 1969 anni)

Descrizione:

The Stolen Generation was a period of time where Aboriginal Children were taken from their families to learn how to live white. They would learn how to cook, clean, farm and become slaves for the white people. Mr A.O Neville was the Chief Protector of Aborigines in Western Australia. He was the person who had complete power over the Aboriginal people. It was by law that they could take any child from the Aboriginal Background away from their parents. He wanted the black race to be gone. Half-caste and Quarter-Caste children were wanted most. If their skin was fair enough, they could be sent to learn in a proper school and get an education like the other white kids. Mr Neville and many other Australians wanted to breed out the black blood and make sure the white race shows through. Some of these children never got to see their parents again. 'Cause we were acting white, Yet feeling black' - Took the Children Away, Archie Roach.
