In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, indigenous communities in the US and Australia suffered a common experience at the hands of state authorities: the removal of children to institutions in the name of assimilation. This title takes the study of indigenous education and acculturation in new directions in its examination of the key roles white women played in policies of indigenous child-removal.
