Black Only Schools Proposed

Most (if not all) Aboriginal people will tell you that regardless of where they are brought up or by whom, they have a connection to this land that can't be broken. They are the land and the land is them. Similar to Indigenous American philosophy. I know people who were taken as very small children and lived in white society all their lives until such time as they could return to the land and their tribe. In many cases this is an incredible trial because there were no good records kept at the time.

To answer your question though, the child has both cultures. You can't stop someone being Aboriginal just because you put them in a white society.
