Although tragic, this is a different story and these children were already in and from Australia.<br />The exhibit at the Maritime Museum was about the migration of white children from the UK to Australia and Canada. These children were sent on boats to Australia and Canada in order to increase the white stock of those populations as well as to provide labor for the farms, etc.<br />Both are very tragic stories and the effected children and families are still facing the conseuqences of these decisions. The Australian government has officially apologized for its role in both events and has even made a national day, called Sorry Day, to commemorate the way aboriginal peoples were treated in Australia.Francinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01114724394695374559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231774380979089035.post-80510910076662424672010-11-10T20:56:04.010-06:002010-11-10T20:56:04.010-06:00ahh the government, always corrupt. so sad! loved ...ahh the government, always corrupt. so sad! loved the pics--Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720800873803974929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231774380979089035.post-78420529991018264672010-11-10T14:53:26.188-06:002010-11-10T14:53:26.188-06:00Rabbit Proof Fence is a must to watch, good call m...Rabbit Proof Fence is a must to watch, good call misszippy.
