The impacts that the Stolen Generation had on Indigenous people was that the Assimilation policy failed to improve the lives of Indigenous children by adapting them in white society.

Even children that were considered ‘half-caste’ were rejected‚ even though their skin colour was lighter and made easier for them to blend in. Many children that were placed in state
