2. The Stolen Generation Story Written By Talia Liberatore

3. The Beginning It was a lovely day in Jigalong me and my friend were at the river collecting water with our buckets then we saw …… A missionary coming towards us A little bird flying over our heads

4. Taken Away He approached us and said “You two come with me I am taking you to Bomaderry Aboriginal Children’s home”. He then grabbed us and was taking us to his car. I then…. Kicked him and then my friend and I started running Tried to beg him to let us go

5. The Bird We then saw a little pigeon fly above our heads. We tried to grab it but it was very hard to do. We then walked back to the house. As we were walking we saw…… A missionary knocking on the door A car parked next to our house

6. We tried to escape I then kicked the missionary and we started running we ran so much that I didn’t even know where we were going. As I looked behind me I saw the missionary chasing us. I yelled out to my friend “RUN FASTER HIS GETTING CLOSER!” My friend then tripped over and fell on the floor. I didn’t know what to do if I had kept running my friend would’ve been caught if I saved her we both would’ve been caught. I then…… Kept running Saved my friend

7. Begged I then started begging for him to let us go but he wouldn’t let us. I said to him “Can I at least say goodbye to my parents first!” But he refused to let me. He then took us to the car and locked the door. We were banging on the windows so he could let us out. I saw my mum crying at the front of the house. It was so sad to watch! The missionary then said “Be quiet you two or I’ll split you two away from each other!” “Fine I will let you say goodbye”

8. We saw a car We then saw a car parked at the front of our house. I then heard a scream me and my friend went inside to investigate. When we got their we saw. A missionary inside our house

9. I ran As I kept running I looked behind me I saw the missionary getting closer to her I saw her trying to get up but she couldn’t. I then ran towards her, I ran faster than I had ever ran before. I finally reached her so I grabbed her arm. Then the missionary grabbed us and Took us into his car

10. Taken Away He approached us and said “You two come with me I am taking you to Bomaderry Aboriginal Children’s home”. He then grabbed us and was taking us to his car. I then…. Kicked him and then my friend and I started running Tried to beg him to let us go
