In every state and territory, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children were systematically removed from family, community, Country and culture, under policies deliberately aimed at erasing their identity.

The Stolen Generations Institutions Map includes many of the institutions, reserves, and missions that children were known or believed to have been taken after being forcibly removed from family.

This map was informed by feedback from various users, including Stolen Generations survivors, descendants, and organisations, as well as educators, researchers, and archivists.

It has been redeveloped in collaboration with Find and Connect, Josephmark, and the Australian Centre to create a more immersive, educational, and up-to-date resource.

The map aims to guide users on a journey to learn about the history of the Stolen Generations under policies carried out in every state and territory of Australia. 

Users can interact with basic information for each site or explore further through additional websites, Google Street View, and collaborations with Find and Connect.

Please provide The Healing Foundation with feedback and updates about any necessary changes or gaps in information.
