Introduction/ Thesis Cowlishaw may have a point, but it is understandable that the country would focus on the Stolen Generation rather than the generation before.

While many indigenous Australian families live in happy hopes, there are those who are victims of domestic violence and partner abuse. Some families are still unable to deal with past generational trauma that resulted from family abuse, and it is passed to their children.

The book Aski Awasis talks about the adoption of Aboriginal children into non-Aboriginal families. The issue of adoption has been a long and contentious issue in Canada.
