===Literature=== *[[Bryce Courtenay]]'s novel ''[[Jessica (novel)|Jessica]]'' tells of a case brought in a New South Wales court against the Aboriginal Protection Board. It challenged the ''Aboriginal Protection Act of 1909'' in order to return two children from [[Cootamundra Domestic Training Home for Aboriginal Girls]] to the Aboriginal mother. *Aboriginal artist and author [[Sally Morgan (artist)|Sally Morgan]] has written several novels based on the lives of her and her family members, featuring intimate portrayals of the impact of forced removal on individuals, their families, and communities, although Sally herself was not a stolen child. Her first, ''[[My Place (book)|My Place]]'', involves her quest to uncover her Aboriginal heritage which had previously been denied by her family, who insisted "as a survival mechanism" that they were of Indian extraction.<ref> *''My Place'' (Fremantle: Fremantle Arts Centre Press; first published 1987). {{ISBN|1-86368-278-3}}. *''Sally's Story'' (Fremantle: Fremantle Arts Centre Press, 1990), edited by [[Barbara Ker Wilson]] (''My Place'' for young readers, part 1. For children). {{ISBN|0-949206-78-4}}. *''Arthur Corunna's story'' (Narkaling Productions, 1995), edited by Barbara Ker Wilson (''My Place'' for young readers, part 2.

''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.
