5. Track the History
Aim
To provide students with knowledge and understanding of the laws, policies and practices that form part of the history of the separation of Indigenous children from their families in Australia.
Students will develop an understanding of general concepts such as ‘assimilation’ and ‘self-determination’, and how these policies are manifested in terms of practices such as:
-
the Aboriginal Protection Boards
-
legal guardianship of Indigenous children under the Chief Protectors
-
early separations of Indigenous children in the 1800s
-
the role of missions and institutions, and the conditions in them
-
the importance of Indigenous management of Indigenous child welfare.
The Track the History timeline is available in three formats: a poster version, online and text-only. The poster version can be ordered from the Commission at: http://www.humanrights.gov.au/publications/index.html#order
