Comparing the policy of aboriginal assimilation : Australia, Canada, and New Zealand

Armitage, Andrew. (Author).

Summary: Children received particular attention under the policy of assimilation, as there has always been a special interest in shaping the next generation. The missionaries, teachers, and social workers who carried out this work were motivated by the desire to save the unfortunate, but in the process children were required to leave their families, communities, language, and culture behind.
