Rabbit Proof Fence

The European settlers act as if they have complete control over Australia. As if they didn't recently find the land, but as if they were there the whole time. They treated the aoriginals like dirt, as if they were animals. They didn't deserve basic human rights or needs. The settlers were able to decide who deserved to lvie where and how. Natives were not classified as citizens to their own country, until recently. Mixed children were taken away from their families to an institution simply based on their fathers. The mothers were thought of as whores, even though the white fathers had a white wife back home. They cheated but were treated as if nothing was wrong. This type type of thinking also occured in the US. When the European settlers came here, they stole the land and power from the native americans. The natives were enslaved and put into camps. The women were raped and mixed children were also created. Settlers do not have a right to take over a country, like the Europeans have so often. Children should not be taken away from their families because of a invisible father. A white man should not ba allowed to father a child without taking responsibility, and have the innocent child take fault. The child has done no wrong, all they did was be born. The actions of the governement were not justified. The "governemnt" was not even a real governement to their nation. The natives had no choice in how the country was ran or by who. Because of that, they sould not have to be governed by their "leaders".
