Introduction
In 1996, Doris Pilkington published her award-winning novel Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence. The story draws on the experiences of three young Indigenous women (Molly, Gracie and Daisy) who escape a settlement school to return to their families. The account highlights many of the themes and issues raised in Bringing them home. The book is now being used in many schools as a text for teaching about the broader issue.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that teachers consider the sensitivities around teaching controversial issues prior to distributing materials. Discussion around topics such as forced removals continues to generate a high level of emotion in many communities.
Warning: These materials may contain images of deceased Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons.
