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.
