Did the stolen generation affect the people of Australia?
The removal of Aboriginal children from their families between 1900 and 1972 by the Government and church missionaries, attempting to assimilate these children into White Australian society, is referred to as the Stolen Generations. The underlying aim of this policy was the idea that the Aboriginal race could be bred out of existence and so by separating children from their families and traditional background, it was hoped that they would adopt European culture and behaviour. The children taken away lost their culture, language, spirituality and self-esteem. Separation went beyond breaking families, breaking up communities as well. The Stolen Generations continue to impact on contemporary Aboriginal spiritualities as the removal of an entire generation of children from their families has had a destructive effect on the ability of these children to maintain their cultural identities. Separation from tribal elders and prohibitions from using their traditional languages and practices disconnected Aboriginal children's ties with the Dreaming. Their removal from their traditional lands meant and still means that they cannot learn or fulfil their ritual responsibilities - ultimately to deny Indigenous Australians access to their land is to cut their ties with the Dreaming as the Dreaming is inextricably connected to the land.

What were the Europeans trying to achieve in dispossessing the aborigines?
Ownership and complete control of the land they lived on. It was simple theft and genocide. Even today this is an issue as much aboriginal land is worth a fortune to greedy mining company's Another major result the Europeans were trying to achieve was the removal of all traces of aboriginal culture. By dispossessing the Aborigines of their land, they effectively forced them onto reserves, for their own protection. This gave the white settlers greater control over the indigenous people and, in their own eyes, the right to remove the aboriginal children from their homes. Their sense of white superiority dictated that that the indigenous people could not possibly look after their children or educate them in the right ways, and that Europeans could do a much better job. This wrongful attitude led to loss of culture, language and all that the Aborigines held and hold dear. The lack of contact between the children and the tribal elders meant that a vital link was lost in the passing down of their native heritage. Many aboriginal languages no longer exist.
