| Zitat: |
The main plan behind the policy was to bred out the “blackness” of the Aborigines over generations, thus mixed marriages were encouraged. Über das "Auszüchten" weiß ich nichts, hab auch nichts drüber gefunden. Die Satzstellung gefällt mir aber aus dem Bauch heraus nicht. Das direkte Objekt (the blackness) müsste meiner Meinung nach direkt nach das Verb
The act of raising the Aboriginal children separately from and ignorant of their culture can even be labelled “genocidal”, because the government tried to vanish a whole race.
The official name of the policy – “The indigenous welfare system” – already indicates that the white people felt superior to the Aborigines and tried to “help” the children leave the community they lived in, in order to assimilate them into the “better” white society.
Despite the huge dimension of the policy, most non-indigenous Australians were unaware of the “Stolen Generation”, because they were living very isolated from the Aborigines. Ein Vorschlag, da man ja gerne von "Dimensionen" spricht/ Das "so" würde ich hier dann auch nicht schreiben, weil es mE in dieser Verwendung nicht formal ist! So the “welfare system” continued its function until the 1970s. Today there are still thousands of Aborigines who do not know anything about their family, their tribe or their culture.
But the work of Aboriginal as well as of non-Aboriginal activists has done a lot to improve the rights of the indigenous population.
In 1962 they won the right to vote, and in 1967 several laws brought equal rights and an official end of discrimination. That was the first time Aborigines got access to social benefits. Two decisions of the Australian High Court have also strengthened Aborigines’ traditional land rights with rejecting the terra-nullius-status and passing the Native Title Act to them. Wir haben ein zusammengesetztes Prädikat, d.h. Adverbien sollten in die Mitte.
But nevertheless, the government has been slow to acknowledge its past faults: In 2001 it has still refused to give a formal apology to those whose lives were affected by the injustice of the past.
Although progress has been made concerning the Aboriginal rights, their social situation is still bad and they have to suffer great disadvantages: declining health conditions, torments of family separation, high rates of poverty and unemployment as an example – So a lot of improvement still has to be done!

| Zitat: | The history of the Aborigines has been determined (geprägt? ja sollte passen, auch wenn mich dünkt, ich wüsste ein besseres Wort, was mir par tout nicht einfallen will...) by a lot of suffering, injustice and discrimination and it is still a long way of reconciliation between them and the white Australians.
The Aborigines are the indigenous people of Australia, thus they were already living there when the first European settlers arrived in the 17th century. In 1770 the English Captain James Cook claimed the East Coast of Australia for Britain as no other European country had taken formal possession. The British declared the continent as “terra nullius” (land belonging to no-one) according to this it could be taken from the Aborigines without compensation. The Aborigines did not protest against it because the concept of privat land ownership was totally foreign to them – In their view people belonged to the land, not the other way around.
A time full of discrimination followed, because white people ignored the indigenous culture and treated them bin mir da nicht sicher, aber für mich sieht das nach einem Beziehungsproblem aus. "the indigenous culture" ist mMn Singular, demnach müsste ein "it" statt dem "them" stehen. Vielleicht macht es aber auch Sinn vom "indigenous people" zu sprechen. unfairly and brutaly. When white people employed Aborigines, that nearly always meant dangerous working conditions and underpayment for them. Ich würde das "the" weglassen, da du ja irgendwelche und nicht bestimmte "Weiße" meinst.
From the early 1800s onwards the Australian government established a policy which demanded the forcible removing of Aboriginal children from their parents. "foricibly" bezieht sich doch auf "the removing" - was durch den Artikel wohl als Substantiv anzusehen ist, daher passt hier mE kein Adverb. The children were then placed in special institutions or foster families ICH finde, dass es so schöner klingt. Ein "then" am Satzanfang gefällt mir in den seltensten Fällen (auch im Deutschen nicht). Aber vielleicht ist das doch nicht so gut. They were kept away from their culture in order to assimilate them into the white society, they should be “westernized” to function within the white society as cheap labour force wirklich "labours"? Schau mal die Bedeutung nach  Ich würde eher "labour force" benutzen - ist der Term, den ich auch Erdkunde kenne. That is why they just got enough education to do their work.

Hey!
Ich weiß, es ist etwas länger geworden, aber es wäre echt toll, wenn ihr den Text mal auf Fehler durchschauen könntet (auch gerne stückchenweise)!
