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.

What is the song took the children away about?
It is about the Stolen Generation. When he was a boy he was taken away from his family and he wrote a song about it.
Is there a list of names of the stolen generation?
Robert Mann, one of Australia's promoters of 'the stolen generation' was challenged by Andrew Bolt in 2005 - 2006 to produce a list of ten names. Mann claimed there were up to twenty five thousand 'stolen generation' aboriginals. He was unable to produce a list of just ten genuine names, even after eight years of researching the subject. So if there is a genuine list it will be a very small one. Just remember that 'stolen generation' implies being taken away because they were aboriginal. Many children, including whites were taken away to be rescued from abuse and neglect.
Is the stolen generation about racism?
Very much so. The stolen generation was a direct result of European attitudes that white man knew better than the indigenous people how to take care of their children. It was also about the suppression of the entire aboriginal culture. Children who were taken away were put into white homes, and not permitted to speak their native language. They lost contact with all their Dreamtime stories and their tribal culture.
