Rabbit Proof Fence

      The European settlers started to take their land and take away their rights. They controlled what they ate where they lived, where they hunted, if the could hunt, and where they could go. They had punishments such as being sent away for imprisonment and death threats. This broke almost all of the laws especially the laws that states 'right to equality" (1) and "Freedom from Torture and Degrading Treatment" (5).
      Ways this could relate to historical events in the U.S. is how the European settlers kicked the native Americans out of their land and tortured them and their families and later on in the late 1800's and early 1900's there was a lot of slavery down south. People took other people from Africa and brought them to the U.S. and turned them into slaves which took away every single one of their rights and they also sold slaves and had owns. These slaves were often tortured and had to do a lot of hard work and labor.
      Some people thought that the relocation was a good thing so that they wouldn't loose their aboriginal population. They didn't think that the kids of mixed decent were good enough. Many mothers would give birth at home instead of the hospital so it would be in the records and so the government wouldn't come and take away their child as soon as they normally would. Full blood Aboriginal populations were decreasing. they thought that the more intelligent they were, the better they would be as domestic servants and laborers. these actions were and are still not justified because wheat they did was terrible and inhumane. They had no right to come to another country and take away the peoples rights and torture them, especially when its the government. Its not right to take young kids away from their families and to torture them. The Aboriginals tried to fight back but against a whole government, its not easy and just kept on pushing further punishment and cruelty.
