It is believed that about 100,000 Aborigine children who were taken from their families and adopted into white households as part of the government's program of forced assimilation. No one really knows the exact number.

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.

How long did the stolen generation last?

Ah, the stolen generation was a difficult time in history that lasted for several decades in Australia, from around the early 1900s to the 1970s. It's important to acknowledge the pain and suffering that many Indigenous families endured during this time, and to work towards healing and understanding in the present. Remember, every act of kindness and understanding helps us move towards a brighter future together.


What other religions are helping Aboriginals from stolen generation?

Many of the Aboriginal missions during the time of the "stolen generations" were Catholic, Anglican or Lutheran. Although the missions have long since ceased to operate, the Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran Churches are helping to identify and locate missing family members, and provide such support as they are able. A small minority of Aborigines see Christianity as a religion of oppression because of their history, but are unable to return to their ancient beliefs. Instead, they have adopted Islam.
