My mother-in-law was part of the stolen generation and before the war they were not classed as citizens so the government controlled their life they were taken from their families and placed into children's homes to learn how to become white,needless to say this devastated a lot of Aboriginal people and they lost contact with their mothers,fathers and siblings.Some coped and went on to become part of society but many others never recovered it has cause great debate about whether the government should apologize and others say let bygones be bygones.I think my mother-in-law said it best to me one day when she said anyone who has grown up without a mother,grandmother ,father or grandfather to advise them then they will know what it is like to be part of the stolen generation if not you cant apologize because it will mean nothing.
If you go to some Australian museums you will find out more.

To be easy, I even have mixed thoughts. I stay in a city on the Mid North Coast with a severe Aboriginal inhabitants. i'd say, a million/4 of the Aboriginals are a number of the nicest human beings you will ever meet. They blend in with the community events, they bypass out and attempt to do something for themselves to get forward in existence. they have jobs, volunteer their time with city purposes, ect. yet, 3/4 of them, in particular the extra youthful ones. anticipate to have each and every little thing surpassed to them on a silver plate. by no ability made a attempt to discover artwork, bypass around putting containers on fire, smashing homestead windows (the foremost ones they objective, are the Aboriginals which attempt to have a bypass in existence) ... etc. With my activity, I even have helped set up preparation classes and such. laptop preparation, activity skills etc. i'll tell you at the instant, they do no longer look to have an interest. i'm no longer asserting all are like that. some are super human beings, those that artwork in aviation are putting a brilliant occasion, and that i'm so happy approximately that. admire is a extra appropriate word. related to the stolen era, Their have been teenagers taken away for no reason... and that became unhappy and that i think of the government could sit down with those human beings and talk. yet, there have been some taken away by way of fact of their welfare. medical doctors take teenagers of their mom and father now by way of fact of mistreatment and such... (White and Black).. So i do no longer consider the government popping out and making a Public apology... Sorry if I offend you with my answer, yet fairly some Aboriginals create their very own problems. ok undergo... i'm open for a talk by using e mail in case you prefer.. i attempt to be truthful in existence, if there is something which you recognize that would make me think of in any different case... i'm open to hearken to.

I'm adopted.
Have no idea if my parents are dead or alive.
Am not allowed to return to my roots as an aboriginal because my mind has been infected by the wretched stench of modern societies.
And when the redneck politicians decided to declare Australia an All-White society, I was segregated and left out to dry!
But I'm happy now because I went back to the bush, grew some great bush bud and live a pretty high life!
Not me, just the character talking.

Who or what is a "stolen generation"? I've never heard the term before.
