The arrival of white settlers significantly disrupted Aboriginal Dreamtime narratives and practices. These stories, which are central to Aboriginal culture and spirituality, were often misunderstood or dismissed by colonizers, leading to a loss of cultural continuity. The introduction of new laws, land dispossession, and forced assimilation further eroded the traditional practices tied to Dreamtime. Consequently, many Aboriginal communities experienced profound disconnection from their ancestral stories and spiritual heritage.

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.
