Teaching notes
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. These activities are intended to help develop student’s awareness around the issues.
