Who is the Stolen Generation?
The Stolen Generation refers to a dark chapter in the history of Australia, where thousands of Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families and placed into institutions, foster care, or adopted by non-Indigenous families between the late 1800s and the 1970s. This policy, driven by the Australian government and various religious and welfare organizations, aimed to assimilate Indigenous children into the dominant white culture, often at the expense of their cultural identity and familial bonds. The impact of this policy has been profound, leaving a lasting scar on the Indigenous community and their descendants. This article aims to shed light on the Stolen Generation, its causes, consequences, and the ongoing efforts to address the wounds of the past.>
