Denial and Loss: Removal of Indigenous Australian Children from their Families and Culture

  • The Hon Justice Roslyn Atkinson

Abstract

Warning: the following material may contain reference to Indigenous persons who are deceased. The 1997 Bringing Them Home Report documented the systemic removal of Indigenous Australian children from their families and culture, and the consequent and widespread devastation this has caused to the individuals concerned, their families and their communities, and also demonstrated how this suffering is continuing. Responses from the wider Australian community have been complex, ranging from sorrow and remorse to outright hostility. The official response has been disappointing and frustrating for many Indigenous Australians.
