Stolen Generation

The Stolen Generation, as how it’s implied by the name, is to describe those Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were forced to remove from their families by the governments and the church services without the parental consent and without a court order from the late 18 century to 1969. The saying of “Stealing the children from their parents” here will not be considered out of place.  
Those indigenous Australian children, who were removed from their families   and forced to assimilate into white Australian society , have been hoped to breed out the Aboriginal race out o existence and adopt western culture and behaviour so that eventually there will be no more indigenous people left. However, when the entire generation of children was removed from   the traditional background, they have lost their language ability , culture even self-esteem   and impacted on contemporary Aboriginal spiritualities simultaneously.   The ability of those children to maintain the cultural identities has destructively affected due to the separation from tribal elders and prohibitions from using their traditional language. "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 inextricably connected to the land."
