Sources about The Stolen Generation

The STOLEN Generation

BY GEORGIA AND OLIVIA

Lowitja O’ Donoghue

http://dl.nfsa.gov.au/clip/odonreu/

Our source was a video about a woman called LOWITJA O’DONOGHUEIt talked about how Lowitja was taken from her mother and had outside the shops years later. The message is that Aboriginals were treated terribly and taken from their parents when they were little.

The Stolen Generation By Emily and Raph

We believe that this picture shows small children that are finding homes and have made their way into the newspaper. But we think that the people reading this newspaper article didn’t really care and ignored them.

Sources about the 1967 Referendum

We think this means we should all be equal and all be kind towards one another. Aboriginal rights are important and we all should vote for Aboriginal right and women can achieve the ability to do anything they want to do.

Sources aboutLand Rights

In 1968 Aborigines were fighting for their land back and were struggling to get a fair say. This source says that Australians did not respect Aborigines at all and today hopefully they look back and regret it. At that time Aborigines were disgusted with how Australia invaded their land and tried and tried to get it back.

Land Rights

We think this video explains that there was a lie that the land was unoccupied but the truth is, the Aborigines owned the land.

The underlining message in this source is to respect others and what they own.

Sources aboutWorking Conditions

Donna Meehan

It says that donna Meehan had a hard childhood. She felt white people looked down on her because she was an Aboriginal. She felt she didn’t belong with the white people. She loved her foster parents but she still felt like a fish out of water.
