| dc.description.abstract | This chapter addresses the identity construction of Aboriginal Peoples (The terms "Aboriginal," "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander," and "Indigenous" are used interchangeably. It is acknowledged that there are many cultural differences between and within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia and the use of differing terms does not intend to disregard such differences.). During colonization, government policies, informed by racist ideologies, forced Aboriginal Peoples off their country and sought to decimate Aboriginal culture and identity through genocide. Aboriginal children were then forcibly removed from their family and community. Raised without knowing their heritage, these Stolen Generations were denied their cultural identity and, instead, taught to demonize it. This immense loss and disconnection devastated these children, their communities, and the generations that followed. Nevertheless, Aboriginal culture survives and remains one of the oldest living cultures in the world. Recent policies have been implemented to reconcile this history and facilitate reconnection.
