Vad innebar ” the stolen generation” ?
How were the indigenous people affected by the European settlement?
The "stolen generation" refers to the indigenous children who were forcibly removed from their families by the Australian government and placed in institutions or with non-indigenous families. This policy, which was carried out between the late 1800s and the mid 1900s, was intended to assimilate the indigenous people into European-Australian society. The effects of this policy were devastating for the indigenous people, and it has had a lasting impact on their communities. Many indigenous people lost their connections to their families and their cultural heritage, and they experienced high levels of trauma and distress as a result of the forced removal. The European settlement of Australia also had other negative impacts on the indigenous people, including the loss of their land and resources, the destruction of their traditional way of life, and the exposure to new diseases.
