Introduction
Plays, novels and film can be used as a starting point for students to develop an understanding of the experiences of Indigenous children who were separated from their families. Using techniques of performance and textual analysis develops this understanding.
These activities use Ruth Hegarty’s award winning memoir as a starting point for students to develop a better understanding of the experiences of Indigenous children who were separated from their families.
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.
