What is the stolen generation and what does this song say about
The Stolen Generation
The Stolen Generation was a large group of children that were taken from their families and sent away. These kids were half cast children. Half Cast meant mixed race between Aborigine and White. They were taken to schools and foster homes and taught to do jobs that fit into the new society
The Song
The song is Took The Children Away by Archie Roach. It is about how children were taken from their families and the lasting impact it had on those families
