Who took the Stolen Generation?
The Stolen Generation refers to the period in Australian history when thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children were forcibly removed from their families and placed into institutions, foster care, or adopted by non-Indigenous families. This policy, which spanned from the late 1800s to the 1970s, was driven by the Australian government and various religious and welfare organizations. The question “Who took the Stolen Generation?” is a poignant reminder of the devastating impact this policy had on Indigenous communities and the lives of those affected. This article aims to explore the reasons behind this policy, the individuals and organizations involved, and the long-lasting effects it had on the Stolen Generation and their descendants.
