This book explores the history of Reconciliation and the Stolen Generations, and includes personal stories of removal and reactions to the apology. It also looks ahead and examines the debate over proposals to act on recommendations from the Bringing Them Home report which urges dealing with unfinished business, including monetary compensation and programs aimed at redressing disadvantage. Is saying sorry enough?"--Provided by publisher Notes Includes index Bibliography Bibliography: page 43 Audience For secondary school age Subject Stolen generations (Australia) Children, Aboriginal Australian -- History.
