What did happen in Australia?

All we see Australia as paradise, beaches, nice people, mix of cultures, surf, beautiful ladies....
But, could you think that Australia has a black side, why could we find a lot of white people that seems Americans and sometimes we see a man like an indigineus in the street alone...we ask...who is him? WHERE IS HE FROM?...Well that man is from the Stolen Generation.

In the beginning Australian current people were aborigines, people with its own language, music, food and believes.
With the colonization from the U.K, the "white" people started to disperse the native aborigines. They took away the children from their homes and started to educate them as "white people" with "white" customs and belives...that children never cameback to their homes.
Could you imagine how would be Australia without this atrocity?




The aboriginal community have inhabited Australia for over 40.000 years....




Now aborigines represent the 2% of total Australian population. Australia is one of the richest and developed countries, but this people live in bad conditions, they are poor in the country that used to be of them.

Now, Australians celebrate the National Sorry Day in order to remember this people and say sorry for that White Policy and apologize for that desappearing generations.






Could they say just "Sorry"? After eliminate a completely culture?

HI David!!

congratulations by your blog, I really like it

In this topic I have a similar position, I believe that the things made to the Aborigines were horrible, and it was bad to eliminate almost a complete culture.

And say sorry is not enough to repair the damage caused, there is needed more actions to compensate a little the effects created.

regards
