Central question 1- Why did the Australian government decide to take the children and what led to this? The Australian government believed that in the early 1900s, in order to maintain white culture, they would have to subject all indigenous people to their beliefs. The removal of children from indigenous parents was not a new idea; it had been around for almost a decade before it became the Stolen Generation. The policy of removal intensified with the introduction of the policy of assimilation. White people believed that they were the dominant culture and that their way of life and culture was the only solution. Throughout the Stolen Generation, the Australian public was led to believe that Aboriginal children were disadvantaged in their own homes and would benefit more from a white home. The Aboriginal Protection Board believed that if children lived in white families separated from their families, communities, land and culture, Aboriginal people would eventually be phased out. However, this decision to remove the children was not beneficial and caused a lot of hatred from Aboriginal people towards the Australian government. Central question 2 - What were the consequences of the Stolen Generation? The Stolen Generation was an epic historical event in Australian history with many repercussions. and the consequences. Some of the consequences include depression, distrust, loss of culture, and many other long-term emotional effects. The children were not allowed to see their families and were told they were orphans to prevent them from searching for their real family. They were prohibited from speaking their native language or following their culture, receiving minimal education, poor living conditions and food, and being called upon to perform low-quality domestic or agricultural work. Often, they were also victims of physical or sexual violence. It is for these reasons that, even today, many Aboriginal people experience long-term emotional effects and carry these events of the 1900s to their graves. Central Question 3: What changed after Kevin Rudd's sorry speech and the Bringing Them Home (BTHR) report? The Stolen Generation endured many hardships; However, there were events such as Kevin Rudd's sorry speech in 2008 and the Bringing Them Home Report (BTHR) in 1997 that helped many Aboriginal people turn the page. The BTHR was the first time the Australian government acknowledged that the Stolen Generation was an event in Australian history for which it regretted. The report included documents about indigenous people who were taken from their homes as children, which contradicted the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights ».’.
