The Life of Indigenous Australian Children The forced removal of indigenous children happened in every state and territory of Australia. The separation of Aboriginal children started in Victoria and New South Wales as early as 1885 and, in some states, was not stopped until the 1970s.

Vesterni tegevuskohta geograafiline asend jääb tavaliselt Mississippi jõest läände, Rio Grande jõest põhja ning ulatub lõunas Mehhiko piiri äärde. Vesterni üks põhiteemasid on tsivilisatsiooni pealetung kõnnumaale looduse, lindpriide ja ,,metslaste" (ehk ,,punanahkade") alistamine. Vesterni ikooniliste
