The term "Australian Stolen Generations" refers to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were forcibly removed from their families by Australian federal and state government policies from the late 1800s to the 1970s. These policies aimed to assimilate Indigenous children into white Australian society, often resulting in significant cultural disconnection and trauma for the affected families and communities. The impact of these removals has been profound, leading to ongoing social and emotional challenges for the Stolen Generations and their descendants. In 1997, the Bringing Them Home report highlighted these injustices, prompting public awareness and discussions about reconciliation and reparations for Indigenous Australians.
