Summurizing "Rabbit Proof Fence"

We read a short section of the novel and answered a few questions describing what were the Ingeniousness peoples true rights.

1. Some rules of the UN listed in the story include. #1-RIGHT TO EQUALITY1, it's listed how they had less protection and rights as apposed to the white settlers. They had their own laws and police enforcement that weren't included for the Aboriginals. #17-RIGHT TO OWN PROPERTY, When they first settled, the white men took whatever land they pleased without considering the Aboriginals, many were forced from their land. Some land not owned by settlers was destroyed for little use for the natives.#18-FREEDOM OF BELIEF AND RELIGION, Many laws and ways of life the natives believed in were taken from them. They were forbidden from religious practices and their ways of prayer would soon be forgotten.

2.Some ways the treatment of the Aboriginals related to the Native Americans were how they were evicted from their land and forcibly removed. When the Americans got hold of their land, we destroyed it by paving our culture and over hunting precious animals to the Natives.

3.I believe the forced relocation of these children weren't truly justified. Just because their government feels the part white Aboriginal children are more socially advanced, doesn't give them any true ownership or justification on taking them away from their families. If you would think of the labor you put through those children and remember how mournful the families were for their loss. It doesn't seam like its worth it to give these children with supposed potential non-academic jobs, all for taking them away from their true hereditary roots and religion.
