February Curator's Choice

  • Robert Guth (b. 1975) Mona Tur, 19 February 2001 Robert Guth (b. 1975), Mona Tur, 19 February 2001

Marking the second anniversary of the official apology to the Stolen Generations, the Library is making available recordings from the Bringing Them Home oral history project. In this interview, Mona Tur tells how she was threatened with removal from her mother, a traditional Antikirinja / Yunkunytjatjara woman. When she was eight years old, Mona was eventually sent to the United Aboriginies Mission at Oodnadatta, South Australia. Unlike many of her contemporaries, she was able to maintain strong links to her family and culture.
