Where did the children of the stolen generation go?
The children of the Stolen generation were sometimes sent to live with white families. Some were also placed in missions.
When did stolen generation happen?
The period of time known as the Stolen Generations took place from 1909 until 1970. During this time, the Australian state and federal governments took away the children of families of Australian Aboriginal descent, and placed most of them in institutions. Some were placed with other families.
What are some of the continuing effects of the assimilation policy on the Stolen generation?
The damage caused by forced removal of aboriginal children is stated as, more likely to suffer from depression and generally have a shorter lifespan than indigenous children that were not forcibly removed from their families.
The children that were taken during the time of the stolen generation what happend to them?
It varied. Some were placed in good homes, but they were "white" homes, which were not the homes of the aboriginal children's ancestral youth, so they were not suitable for bringing up children of a completely different culture. Some of these children were placed in institutions, or abused in unsuitable homes. Either way, they lost their connection to the land and their people. Forbidden to speak their language, it is one of the reasons why so many aboriginal languages have been lost.
Why is the stolen generation a bad thing?
One view:Because it is flawed history. While some Aboriginal children were given up by their parents to missionaries to have a better life (schooling, clothing, health), others were taken from grossly alcoholic mothers and abusive families. While it is true that some of these children were mistreated (unpaid servants, sexual abuse) this was the minority and many of the Aboriginal children who were given this chance have become highly regarded members of society (lawyers, doctors, teachers). Sadly, the myth of the 'stolen generation' has been perpetuated by films with agendas, and fables told to attentive children. if the lie is repeated often enough, it begins to sound true, doesn't it?Another view:This is a highly emotive issue, and no answer will satisfy, but there should be some attempt to find a balance.The main reason why it was a bad thing was that Europeans imposed their own values on a culture that was worlds apart. Europeans simply do not understand Aboriginal values, and in the case of alcoholism, as the answer above suggests, this was something which came as a direct result of white settlement. Aboriginal families who knew firsthand the compassion of missionaries were still moved to tears by the government's apology for the stolen generation. Regardless of motive, they were still taken from their culture and expected to adapt to a different world.Whites have difficulty understanding how much the Aboriginal identity is anchored in where each individual is born. To be wrenched away from that, for even the "best" (white man's words) reasons, is for the Aborigine to suffer a loss of personal identity.

Were the stolen generation abused or protected?
The whole story behind the stolen generation was one of attempting to totally destroy the culture of a native people that were already in dire straits having been disconnected from their traditional lives, having been the victims of diseases that they could not resist resulting in the erosion of many skills and much of their verbal tradition. The idea of removing these children in some cases may have been under taken with the intention of bettering the lives of these children. And in some cases they did. However you don't have to look far to see that most of these children became victims of mental physical and wholesale sexual abuse in order to further weaken the aboriginal people of Australia. Perhaps Australians should have shown true compassion for aboriginal children by seeing to it that their parents had a reasonable standard of living. After all the indigenous population of Australia is minute.
