What happened to the aboriginal children during the stolen generation?
(full blooded aboriginal children were not taken away, only the half-caste children) They were taken away from their families. The 'white' Australians wanted to 'breed out' the half black half white blood in these children. They were forced to become like the whites and had to go to church etc. like the white people. It is commonly believed that full-blooded children were not taken away. This was not always the case. Full-blooded aboriginal children were also removed from their families during the attempts of the European-founded government to completely eradicate the Australian indigenous culture. The Stolen generation children were placed in institutions where the European language, erligion and culture was forced upon them.

How were first nations affected by immigration?
They were pushed off their lands and marginalised. Later the government and Churches rounded up and shipped children off to residential schools. This single act was more destructive to First Nations culture than every other act. Children were forbidden to talk in their own language, forced to attend Christian churches, forced to abandon their own beliefs and culture. When they returned to their homes, they were strangers, adrift between native culture and western culture, not fitting in either. The damage is still evident.

Who created residential schools?
Residential schools were isolated schools where aboriginal children were forced away from their families home and culture and were forced to adapt into a white society. these schools were run by the roman catholic church. The aboriginal children who were sent there were often separated by gender, were forced to learn English or french. If they were caught speaking native tongue they would be beaten, locked in closets without food, humiliated, and often were raped. --- Schools where you resided were called Residential Schools. Canada's population was spread across the land and often children had to travel considerable distances to attend school. Residential schools or boarding schools addressed those problems by having children live and often work at schools which were usually far away from home but near major population centres. Today the term usually refers to Canada's aboriginal policy of having racial segregated residential schools off the reserves. These residential schools were run and operated by non-aboriginals and resulted in so much abuse that their history has been apologized for by Canada. We still have racial segregated schools but now they are operated by the Aboriginals themselves and bear no resemblance to the residential schools of the past.
