An Apology to Aboriginal Australia

In regards to what had happened to the aboriginals during the time period of making the rabbit-proof fence, the Australians owe the Aboriginal Australians an apology. When we all realize and think about what had happened to the Aboriginal Australians back then, it must have been the most painful and fearful moments of their lives. Throughout those time periods, these people went through such pains of being torn apart from their families and went through so many fearful things that were unnecessary, especially for young children. If we think from our perspective of how our kids might have been taken away or we could have been split apart from our parents at a young age, we can slightly realize the terrible times they had to go through and survive. As seen in the film, Molly, her sister and the cousin was taken away, they were literally getting torn apart from their mom and although the parents were begging and screaming the man had no heart and just forced the girls into the car. Also, the way the Australians spoke to the Aboriginal Australians was shocking. For example, when the British man puts the little girl into the car he says, “Stay still or I will lock your mom up!” these sorts of languages are not appropriate to use to especially the little ones. The man was threatening the child in terms of her mother and through this we can imagine how scared she must have been. The aboriginals kept going through this pain because the British kept taking away the children like they took away Molly again and also her children after. In result, Molly had to make the long trip again with her children, but yet they came back again and took Molly’s child. Although the British thought they were doing the right thing and kept going with stealing the aboriginals’ generations, it was still the most terrifying and unpleasant moment of their lives so the Australians should at least say sorry to the Aboriginal Australians.
