Who was the main leader of The Stolen Generation?
The main leader of The Stolen Generation was A.O
Neville (know as Mr. Devil, thats what the
aboriginal children called him.) He was in charge
of the removal of the aboriginals, he also was in
charge of the W.A Protector of the Aborigines
from 1915-1945. When the Stolen Generation first
started the King at the time was Charles the 2nd.
He sent a man called Henry Brougham Loch to take
the aboriginals. Henry was born on the 23rd of
May 1827 and he died on the 20th of June 1900. He
was a Scottish soldier, colonial administrator
and governor of Victoria at the time. While the
Stolen Generation happened the white people took
about 100,000 aboriginal children. First they
thought they were doing something to help the
aboriginals because the white people thought that
the aboriginals were savages. So thats why they
took them, and also to give them a better
education. After a couple of years they also
decided that taking them would help increase the
population elsewhere in Australia. They wanted
the aboriginals to fit into the white peoples
culture.

Example

• If I went up to someone and said Can I have
  your X-box and your 3D DS? you would say a big
  NO! So how would you feel if someone smashed
  the door down and took it anyway, or something
  you loved most.
• If you cant even let go of your X-box or your
  3D DS how would it feel if someone took a member
  of your family or anything else precious.
