The Stolen Generation did occur because someone failed to take responsibility and passed on the buck. The government, the parents and the society are the people who led to the occurrence of the Stolen Generation.

The stolen generations occurred because of a big misunderstanding and alot of confusion. What happened back in the 1900's should never have occurred The white people (most of our ancestors took over the native aboriginal and Torres strait islanders land, which was and always be their country. The white people thought they were helping the native people but really they were only teaching them the white way of things. Through this process of taking aboriginal children from their families, their communities and THEIR land, loss of culture and rituals and the way the native people had lived for thousands of years was being lost and slowly fading away. What would of happened if we all had of took a step back and looked at the bigger picture, would we be where we are today, would there have been less suffering, would we have learned to appreciate the land and the way of life like the Aboriginals did ?
