Thank you for touching on the stolen generation. This still effects so many people today, and so many live with inter generational trauma as a result of that horrific time. Also a Southwest local and hope you guys are having an amazing time!! ❤
Every country has history of this my parents r Assyrian from Iraq and before Iraq it was Assyria and Arabs have killed so many Assyrians over the years but the past was years ago u need to let go of it and move on
I'm confused what would dianne be suffering. She gets on really well with Tom and Lydia and she loves little Alfie and she would have loads of fun with them so how would she suffer please. @jonesywer
They had residential schools in the US and Canada, as well. The goal was not to teach indigenous children cooking and sewing. The goal was cultural, and often physical, genocide. The abuse that happened in those schools, and the detachment from those children’s families and indigenous communities has had horrific and significant impacts for generations, and will continue to. Thankfully, there are more initiatives happening in America to discover and unearth the mass graves at the schools, so that the children’s remains can be repatriated to their tribes. It is one step in a long list of healing and reconciliation measures that needs to take place.
The movie Australia, with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, was a film that touched on the Aboriginal children that were taken from their families, and the young boy that plays a lead role in that film was an incredible actor. I think I will go watch it again, as it’s been a few years since I’ve seen it. It’s touching and funny and well worth watching. Loving your and Dot’s visit to Australia, as always.❤
That was so funny. My daughter is a teacher and she was sending me Mr G clips last night and we were laughing so hard and then I’m Watching you this morning and out pops the T-shirts.
My daughter is living in Perth and driving one of those monster loaders in her job at a landmine 😅 she's just 22, over there 18 months now with her boyfriend and loving it 😍
Loving your vlogs Joe and also Dianne’s such different styles. Yours are structured informative and funny Dianne’s random and funny. I think you may have to insist that you don’t want a spa bath for your birthday 😅take care both❤️
New Norcia is a religious area. There are Buddist Monks, housing and temples and Catholic Nuns and churches. It is also a catholic school camp where they stay in the hostel and pray over what happened and learn about the past. If you are from a catholic school, they learn about the catholic missionaries in particular Irene McCormack, who died for her faith and charitable work.
New Norcia has a pretty horrific past. I used to stay in the New Norcia school every year for our music camps. It's quite eerie inside, I remember always being scared to walk the halls due to all the life sized statues and creaking floors and the graveyard we had to walk past to get to the food hall. Something about the place just seemed dark. It's Australia's only Monastic town, so we would often hear the Benedictine Monks in the morning and speak to them when they came to the school during the day. Eventually our school stopped taking us there for camps because in addition to the schools history of being involved in the stolen generation, it became publicly known that sadly there were countless sexual abuse cases by the Benedictine Monks on these children also. It's now recognised as one of the worst historic locations of child abuse in Australia yet it has never outwardly been acknowledged (as seen by the plaques you read). We got told we wouldn't be going there again because of a rat problem...
Regarding the Aboriginal schools, I can’t speak to AUS but I’m from Canada and if you look up the “60s Scoop”, it’s a similar thing where they stole children from their families to assimilate them into Western culture and didn’t let them speak their native language and would punish and abuse these children. Thousands of children were murdered and are still being found in burial sites across Canada/North America. They lost their sense of identity and culture . It’s a very dark history and I know AUS probably has the same but as you saw, “plaques” won’t mention this to save face and to continue colonialism and racism. Especially being from the UK, it would be really important for you to educate yourself further on these matters so hope that helps a bit:)
In Australia it’s the Stolen Generation. There are many people still effected by this and the inter generational trauma. Absolutely horrific and heartbreaking 😢
@@Blue-dg8vbyeah ppl r affected as in there ancestors r gone because of it but u need to move on and stop living in the past it doesn’t do anything or fix it aswell
6:06 hey jo loved to hear you learning about the aboriginal culture and also the horrific things that they have and continue to go through. The Stolen Generation is what you need to look into, children were stolen as young as one years old from their mothers arms! I know you love to learn so would implore you to look up!
Love this❤ Jo do you not know about colonialism? Your british lol...Royals still profit today. Im canadian and part of the commom weath. Nasty stuff here too with the indigenous people and the Catholic church! The patriarchy is still profiting. 😢
Omg I’ve watched you for like 10 years and your driving through Moora where I lived for years we only just left what are the chances ! Btw farmers own the sheep they just call them farmers not Shepard 😂😂 there not free roaming as such they are in paddocks
Hey Joe, thank you for touching on the stolen generation. It is an awful part of our history but something that needs to be talked about and still affects so many First Nation people. Lovely to see you enjoying WA and all the places I went to as a kid :)
Forced assimilation upon the Natives similar to the United States Native Americans. My grandmothers sister was put in an Indian School. Not my grandma because she was married, but I don’t know whatever happened to her sister. 😶🌫️
look up the stolen generation joe! that building might make a lot more sense. that building may have taught them many things but they were definitley ripped away from their homes in order to contribute to colonisation in australia!! it is very interesting however very unfair.
I have decided I am not going to watch your programmes which I always enjoy. But I think when you and Diane talk what your doing in toilet is silly and smutty no need for either of you to talk like it
