In the 1830s and into the early 1970s, many indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families, as European colonization recognized indigenous people as being flora and fauna and considered them to be plant and animal species. be wild. The goal of European settlers was supposedly to force Native people to be civil by assimilating them into European society and culture. However, this did not happen as it was a pretext to eliminate the Aboriginal race and culture as ordered by the Australian government at the time. Government policies and practices regarding child removal, abuse and its ongoing consequences have wiped out many Indigenous generations. Government authorities claimed legal guardianship of all Aboriginal children and removed approximately one thousand Aboriginal children from their families and placed them with white Australian families or in institutional homes.

Finally, it cannot be overemphasized that the Stolen Generations should be considered a cultural genocide..
