Bringing them home education moduleUs Taken-Away Kids (2007)

 

Overview

In 1997 the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission released its report Bringing them home: National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from Their Families. Following this, the Commission received extensive requests from teachers for information about the report.

The education worksheets and resources on this site have been developed in response to this request. There are a variety of worksheets that can be used in either the classroom or in the community.

The teaching and learning materials are divided into several categories. The activities can be used together to form a complete unit, or separately as the need arises. They are intended to help students gain a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the issues surrounding the forcible removal of Indigenous people in Australian history.
