How would you feel if a completely different culture and ethnic group came into your land and forced you to be like them? You would probably feel like the aboriginals. Now, this was a while ago and the damage is done, however, the best you can do to help them is say sorry and maybe even give them some money to help rebuild their own homes. Imagine what it was like for the mothers, having their children taken away to a foreign place where those people have killed your people. It would feel horrible and like something was torn away from you. For these mothers it would be the greatest gift in the world if they could reconnect with their children again, even just once. Many people believe they should let go of the past as it is too horrible to look at, and I believe that is untrue. When the children taken away tried to run away to be with someone, they would be punished brutally, can someone be that inhumane to do that? Remember, it is never too late to apologize.
