What wrongs have white administrators done to Aboriginal people in the past? Have all errors been corrected? Although Hardy wrote his book in 1968, it provides a good definition of how Aboriginal people were treated during that time. A very partial definition of the treatment of Aboriginal people based on "opinions": "Even today the Aboriginal is treated as less than a man, his situation is appalling. His fate and his very identity are decided by his white superiors. He can live only on conditions dictated by the people, who despise him. He is paid less, educated less, segregated, made landless, discriminated against, insulted, deprived of dignity, his women harassed." (Hardy 1968) Aborgians have been treated unfairly since European settlement. Children were taken from their parents, they were humiliated. They cut down until there wasn't a single Aborgine left in Tasmania. Although the worst is over for the Aboriginal people, but have all wrongs been righted? One of the most inhumane practices of white settlement in Australia would be to take Aboriginal children from their families. Some Aboriginal children were raised to be ashamed of their race and the color of their heir. “In a deliberate and callous attempt to hide their cultural identity,” Aboriginal children were taken from their families and forcibly placed in an institution and denied any further contact with their families. (Aboriginal Legal Service, 1995 pp ii) For White Australia, the feeling of responsibility, shame, apology and sympathy for what people from their past have done to Aboriginal people. Aboriginal people feel distressed, rejected and feel in some sense made "different" from Europeans. the shame of its past and to accept responsibility for making real and substantial reparations in the future." (Aboriginal Legal Service, 1995 pp ii) Aboriginal children in Western Australia were removed from their families until the 1960s. The children were taken by the police and "welfare offices" to be raised as white children for the purpose of assimilation (Aboriginal Legal Service, 1995 pp ii) Surveys were carried out among Aboriginal people. They were asked what effects it had on them assimilation. (See Appendix A)"It is not just the intense impact of estrangement from families and culture that has contributed to long-lasting effects. Life in missions, fast-track care, or other institutions was for many a harsh experience that exacerbated the displacement, alienation, loneliness, and pain felt by being removed from families and culture..
