The Assimilation Policy

* The Assimilation Policy was absorbing Aboriginal people into white society

* Aboriginal children were placed in institutions – 'trained' to take place in white society

* Protection and Assimilation policies impacted harshly on Indigenous people

* Laws segregated Indigenous people to living in separate areas – reserves outside towns or remote areas

Rabbit Proof Fence

The 1997 Human Rights Report

The Stolen Generations

* Aboriginal children were taken away from their families and taken to a church

* The church took care of the children, teaching them western manners, culture and give them a simple education

* If Aboriginal children were half caste (like their biological British father), they were treated differently

* Forcible assimilation into another culture leaves scars or a long-lasting negative impact
