===Feature film and television drama===
*The Australian film ''[[Rabbit-Proof Fence (film)|Rabbit-Proof Fence]]'' (2002), directed by [[Phillip Noyce]], was loosely based on the book ''[[Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence]]'' by [[Doris Pilkington Garimara]]. It concerns the author's mother and two other mixed-race Aboriginal girls who ran away from Moore River Native Settlement, north of Perth, and returned to their Aboriginal families. In a subsequent interview with the ABC, Doris recalled her removal in 1931 from her mother at age three or four, and subsequent rearing at the settlement. She was not reunited with her mother until she was 25; all those years, she believed that her mother had given her away. When the two women were reunited, Doris was no longer able to speak her native language and had been taught to regard Indigenous culture as evil.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.abc.net.au/message/tv/ms/s731524.htm |title=Doris Pilkington |publisher=abc.net.au |date=24 December 2002 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310114305/http://www.abc.net.au/message/tv/ms/s731524.htm |archive-date=10 March 2007}}</ref>

*''[[Benang]]'' is Indigenous Australian [[Kim Scott]]'s second novel. ''Benang'' is about forced assimilation and finding how one can return to one's own culture. The novel presents how difficult it is to form a working history of a population who had been historically uprooted from its past. ''Benang'' follows Harley, a young man who has gone through the process of "breeding out the colour", as he pieces together his family history through documentation, such as photograph and his grandfather's notes, as well as memories and experiences. Harley and his family have undergone a process of colonial scientific experimentation called "breeding of the colour", which separated individuals from their indigenous families and origins.
