Just a warning that today's episode includes (non-descriptive) mentions of the physical and sexual abuse of children as well as mentions of historically used racist language.This week, we're looking at a campaign for the return of stolen Whadjuk Noongar land, in the colonial city of perth, western australia.One of the most brutal genocidal strategies carried out by colonial governments resulted in the stolen generations. From the mid 1800s, a series of policies throughout the states and territories allowed for Aboriginal children to be removed from their families and put into state care or adopted to white families. Aside from being separated permanently from family and community, these children were frequently forced into hard labour, abused and even murdered. The policy of child removal was not officially ended until the 1970's, and continued into the 1980's in the colonial state of queensland. The forced removal of Aboriginal children from their families continues today through policing and carceral racism.Under a 1905 act in colonial western australia, A.O Neville, the so-called ‘chief protector of aborigines' was made the legal guardian of all Aboriginal children and embarked on a campaign to abduct children with lighter skin and raise them under European servitude, with the aim to breed out Aboriginality.In 1933, during Neville's eugenics program, an anglican nun known as Sister Kate set up a home for ‘light skinned' Aboriginal children in the outskirts of colonial perth. Contact with family was forbidden and the children were encouraged to believe they were white.In 1953 Sister Kate's home was taken over by the Uniting Church and conditions rapidly deteriorated for the children, who suffered horrific psychological, physical and sexual abuse, forced labour and neglect for decades.Following a national inquiry into the stolen generations in 1997, known as the ‘Bringing Them Home' report, the Uniting Church committed to help repair the damage that they had caused to the children and their families. Recommendation 41 of the Bringing Them Home Report states that churches should ‘review their land holdings to identify land acquired or granted for the purpose of accommodating Indigenous children forcibly removed from their families and in consultation with Indigenous people and their land councils, return that land'In 2007 an agreement between the Uniting Church Australia and the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress led to the establishment of the Beananging Kwuurt Institute, a social space to provide support for Aboriginal people on the former site of Sister Kate's.In December last year the Uniting Church shut down the centre and are attempting to take the land away from Noongar people again. Barkandji woman Bev Burns believes the church will sell the site to developers in order to pay the redress bill for past abuse.Bev was asked by the Noongar elders to speak for this interview, as some of them have faced threats and wish to remain anonymous.If you want to learn more about the Occupy Sister Kate's campaign: You can follow Land Back for Stolen Generations on Instagram.

Tens of thousands of Americans who gave their lives in wars around the world have not yet received a proper burial. A team helping locate those missing in action came to Illinois to talk about their work and how technology is changing their searches. Two of them joined us.

It has been over two months since the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel that killed over 1,200 Israelis, with hundreds being taken hostage. Bret sits down with family members of Israeli-American hostages as they share their relatives' stories, and their hope for a safe return home.   Together, the family members explain what kind of support they would like to see from the international community and what the United States government can do to help negotiate the return of the remaining hostages.   Follow Bret on Twitter: @BretBaier Learn more about your ad choices.

The Commanders are the closest they've been to returning to the old-RFK stadium in Washington, D.C. Now that DC-native Josh Harris has bought the team from Dan Snyder and Congress has introduced bi-partisan legislation that would give the District a 99-year lease of the RFK site, the chances of a new Commanders stadium in D.C. is increasing. Yet, the DC Council would need to sign off on a new stadium and a battle is brewing over whether this is a good idea. On the show, we hear from At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie and Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen who stand on either side of the issue.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Nick Abraham takes over this week's edition of Moorditj Mag with a special interview with Alan Carter, Co-Chair of [Bringing Them Home WA](https://bringingthemhomewa.com/). Together, they deep-dive into the Bringing Them Home initiative and plans for reconciliation, truth-telling and an insightful conversation about the Uluru Statement From the Heart. With key references to songs by the late Archie Roach, Briggs, and Troy Cassar-Daley, Nick and Alan discuss the journey of recognition and truth-telling.

Sorry Day marks the day in 1997 that the Bringing them Home Report was tabled in Federal Parliament. The landmark report made 54 recommendations to bring about a process of healing. But, 25 years on, Stolen Generations' survivors and Indigenous rights groups say a majority of those recommendations are yet to be implemented. Can Australia take new steps in the right direction?

In this episode I speak with Mat, a Social Worker who was born and raised on Darkinjung country in the Central Coast of NSW.

2021 marks the 30th anniversary of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, and 26 May was the 24th anniversary of the Bringing Them Home report, yet state violence against First Nations people in so-called Australia continues unabated. This show links together specific concerns about draconian bail laws in Victoria with broader impacts of state actions on Aboriginal women and families.  We are first joined by Gamilaraay, Kooma and Muruwari singer, songwriter and actor Maurial Spearim, who speaks about her new track Sardine Baby. Sardine Baby pays tribute to survivors of the Stolen Generations, drawing on the story of Aunty Sharyn Egan. You can buy a copy of Sardine Baby here. Meena Singh, Yorta Yorta and Indian woman and Legal Director at Human Rights Law Centre then discusses the gendered and racialised harms of bail laws in Victoria, situating them within the broader context of ongoing colonialism.The impetus for this conversation was the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service's letter to the Victorian government published on 28 May 2021 calling for urgent changes to the current bail laws, of which Human Rights Law Centre is a signatory. You can read the letter here on VALS' website. You can also donate to VALS to support their important work for the Victorian Aboriginal community here.

It's the call no one wants. A loved one has died. But what happens if they haven't died in Ireland? The Irish tend to bring the bodies of their dead home. Repatriation is a somewhat unknown process and only becomes part of the story when deaths make the news. Never as much as in 2015 when a terrible tragedy in Berkeley California left five Irish families devastated when their sons and daughters died in a balcony collapse at a 21st birthday party. Thanks to Colin Bell, Celine Kenneally, Fr Brendan McBride, Gus Nichols and Pearse Malarky for participating in this programme.

On Sunday 26 May, the Moorditj Mag team of Jim Morrison, Nick Abraham, Jodi Hoffmann and Ebony Garlett presented a special Sorry Day broadcast from the final game of the AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round at Perth Stadium. Four hours of interviews and conversation about language, music, football, history and politics marked a very special day to remember the Stolen Generations and celebrate the resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The program was broadcast live on Noongar Radio in W.A. and proudly supported by RTRFM 92.1. Part Seven - Jodi Hoffmann and Jim Morrison talk about the [Kimberley Stolen Generation Aboriginal Corporation](https://www.kimberleystolengeneration.com.au/), [Bringing them Home](https://bringingthemhomewa.com/), [Yokai ](https://yokai.com.au/board-member/jim-morrison/)and the impact of governmental policies of the past and the present.

"No man left behind" is more than a motto to Megan Smolenyak and others who work on repatriating the remains of US servicemen and women whose remains are finally discovered.  Megan shares insight into what it takes to identify the person and his or her relatives, including what it's like to call a family member to tell them the news.  Megan also shares three of her favorite cases (out of the more than 1400 she's worked on!), including a Tuskegee Airman, a guitar hero, and a Red Cross worker.  The show notes have links to articles about the three people Megan highlighted and a collection of digitized letters written by one of them. You can find the show notes at AmyJohnsonCrow.com/29.

Indigenous youth are spearheading the push for a national strategy to tackle intergenerational trauma, as new research is expected to show the full and ongoing effects of past policies of forced child removals.

We must make disciples and watch over them until we have all made it to our "home in Heaven". *God spoke a message to the church at the beginning of this lesson.

The 26th of May each year in Australia is known as National Sorry Day. The day is to acknowledge and recognise members of the Stolen Generations. It has been marked since 1997, the day the recommendation from the Bringing Them Home report was tabled in the Australian Federal Parliament highlighting the decades of mistreatment of Aboriginal families by the state and its institutions. To talk about what this day means, its significance to Aboriginal people, and the current struggles by Aboriginal workers in Australia, we talked to Kara Keys, the Australian Confederation of Trade Unions Indigenous Officer. Asia Pacific Currents provides updates of labour struggles and campaigns from the Asia Pacific region. It is produced by Australia Asia Worker Links, in the studio of 3CR Radio in Melbourne, Australia

21 years since the Bringing Them Home report was tabled in parliament, we mark Sorry Day by featuring Aunty Hazel Collins who initiated the group Grandmothers Against Removals (GMAR) in 2014.  The GMAR movement is fighting against the systematic removal of Aboriginal children from their families and calling out what Aunty Hazel calls the mispractice of child welfare officials. Thanks to Tegan Hughes from CAAMA.

2017 has marked several milestones in the advancement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders' rights in Australia: it has been 50 years since the 1967 Referendum and 25 years since the Mabo decision was handed down by the High Court. It is also 20 years since the Bringing Them Home report, which brought the dark history of the Stolen Generations to light, and nearly 10 years since the Federal Government apologised to said Stolen Generations. Another important moment occurred with regards to the latter two, that is the case of Bruce Trevorrow vs the State of South Australia. This case saw Trevorrow - an Aboriginal man who was unlawfully taken by the state as a 13 month old child in 1957 - financially compensated, as well as have the crimes committed against him acknowledged by the courts. This was the first time a Stolen Generations victim was compensated by any means, and was a crucial turning point in the conversation around the Stolen Generations and partially catalysed the Apology half a year later. To talk about this important legal case, SubjectACT's Nathan Gubler spoke with Joanna Richardson, who was Bruce Trevorrow's solicitor in the case. The interview touches on who Bruce Trevorrow was, what happened to him, what lasting damage was done, as well as how Trevorrow's case was built. We also touch on how important the trial's verdict was, what the Apology to the Stolen Generations meant to Trevorrow and the Uluru Statement's proposal of a Truth and Reconciliation process.
