- If people don’t have the opportunity to heal from trauma, they may unknowingly pass it on to others through their behaviour. Their children may experience difficulties with attachment, disconnection from their extended families and culture and high levels of stress from family and community members who are dealing with the impacts of trauma. This can create developmental issues for children, who are particularly susceptible to distress at a young age. This creates a cycle of trauma, where the impact is passed from one generation to the next.
In Australia, Intergenerational Trauma predominantly affects the children, grandchildren and future generations of the Stolen Generations.
Stolen Generations members might also pass on the impacts of institutionalisation, finding it difficult to know how to nurture their children because they were denied the opportunity to be nurtured themselves.

Intergenerational trauma is common among communities that have historically faced oppression and genocide, including the many indigenous peoples of the world.
Every community has gone through this, if you go back enough.
As a Indigenous American, this hits me sooo hard. I’m bearing the weight of the beatings of my ancestors.

prayers for healing and recovery
@Moonpiebaby, I am truly sorry, I am not someone who has to go through what you have to, but I am someone who understands and I stand with you. The past needs to be acknowledged so the future can change and hopefully heal this wound. There will always be hope and if we all work together, we can be the change, for a better world.
I would like to, if I may from my own life. Give some advice and by all means this is from my own perspective and not in anyway any form of fact. So, I would not say it’s healthy to carry the weight of the past, because it may crush you, and I do not mean forget or belittle or throw away in any way. But if you mean to carry as in the sense of emotionally carry the history and put all of that on yourself, I and again my own experiences and not facts, have felt it has only dragged me down and carrying it wasn’t helping me, it was truly hurting me and so to be honest, this may be something you must learn to mange with inside yourself so the weight doesn’t hurt you. And yes again this is only my advice and if you do not agree or feel I am missing something I am not abstinent to being told such, I hope you are doing well though in these times and are staying safe, that goes for everyone else here too, 💙.
*hugs Is there something I can do to help you? Not all cowboys are bad
Me too, me too
I shared it with one of my clients today, a respected Elder. She said it stroked her soul and found it powerful. Thank you.
Although this is specifically Australian Indigenous, I think everybody (Native Americans, Africans and other indigenous peoples) share this generational trauma. The exact same story just different continents.
Almost all peoples of the globe now share this history. Colonizers are formerly colonized people who are repressing their trauma & thus taking it out/recreating it on others. I believe trauma is the catalyst that makes civilizations (what I think of as social cancer) grow.
This is a very real pain that all Indigenous people experience who have had their land, culture and identity taken away from them. It is heartbreaking to hear that a lot of white people don't recognise the trauma we have/still do cause and the advantages and privileges we receive because of the violence and discrimination that Indigenous/Aborigional cultures endure.
and the Irish
Basically every piece of land that white colonizers set foot on has seen widespread trauma like this or worse.
👍👍🌏
As a native this hit deep. I am carrying intergenerational trauma within my blood & soul. I am bearing the load of pain, torture, rape & massacre of my ancestors. I am Oromo, Oromia is me. When will we be given the break to heal?...May we all heal😣🤲🏾😪
#OromiaNiBilisomti
Bless you Oromo people much love ❤️❤️❤️
wtf lmao
Same here #oromiashallbefree !
This is so so real as an American of African Descent it hurts so deeply it hurts my mother, grandmother, great grandmother, father, grandfather so on and so. For goodness sack we don’t even know what countries our linage came from. Just a bunch of different tribes all mixed together by force.
When will we heal?
I am an east Indian and I also feel the same. I too very recently had been struggling with intense emotions that I know are not mine but what my forefathers and mothers experienced.
Mindfulness practice has been a great wonder for me to deal with my ancestral trauma, eventhough right now I am not feeling well and cant bring mindfulness but I know in time the trauma will be healed.
May you all heal trauma and be free from all the animosity and resentment. May you all be happy, peaceful and liberated.
@@b.michaelbrown1117 Not even just slavery. Lynching. Sharecropping. Jim crow. redlining. Drug war. prison. industrial complex. It may have improved. But it has yet to cease.
And what effect does this have on white people as the perpetrators (as group more so than individuals)?
B.Michael Brown that’s because most people don’t understand epigenetic inheritance.
deskryptic ridiculous and actually by modern standards, racist, to use the term “white people”.
I thinks it just started🙏🙏
I cried watching this, for the horrors of the recent past, what has been taken, the strength to endure, and the hope for the future.
I’m deaf and wish there was captions. Just based on the description of the video, I believe this happened in my family tree. And I’ve passed it on to my kids already. 💔🙏🕊
Hi Tonya. Here is a version with captions: czcams.com/video/Y-RaB19D13E/video.html
The fact your are aware that you passed it over to your kids does already differentiate you from 99% of other related parents
This made me cry for my grandmother who was stolen with her 2 sisters. She didn’t meet her younger sisters until she was grown and her brothers were raised in boys homes so she was denied a relationship with them too. She is still trying to reclaim the culture that was taken from her but told me she will always feel some level of disconnection from culture and even from her own family. Luckily she has many children and grandchildren who are connected to culture and her so she now has a family that she made and she made sure was not taken from her. This video hurts my heart. I love my grandmothers strength but I hate what she was put through that made her so strong.
Captions please. 1 in 6 Australians has a hearing loss, that's a lot of people that won't have access to this really important message.
Hi Christy. A version of the animation with captions can be found here: czcams.com/video/Y-RaB19D13E/video.html&t=
@@TheHealingFoundation Great! Why are there two versions? The captions from that other one can be uploaded to this one which has a far wider viewership.
A beautiful way to tell a sad but very real and current story. Thank you for educating us. I'm sorry for the pain and suffering my ancestors caused and on behalf of those who still cause it today - myself included as I know that I benefit from privileges that come from the oppression of Aboriginal People and People of Colour. I want to work to change this.
There is no logical sense in you saying "sorry" for your forefathers. The whole history of mankind is build upon force and violence and we should not wish to do away with it (such a wish would be utterly absurd since you cannot change the past). One should educate oneself on what happened but not feel the guild of one's forefathers. There has already been too much guild-feeling in the world so far.
As of today, it seems that generally these problems have been largely fixed and it would be much more sensible if people didn't take the side of fanaticism of either side as it leads to toxic tribalism.
@@georgalem3310 i disagree that the problems have been fixed. There are still many issues with institutional biases that exacerbate the marginalization of already marginalised people.
For example language and cultural difference often lead to more problems dealing with Indigenous people in hospitals and courts, leading to poorer health and justice outcomes. On top of trauma which already leads to poor health and often behaviours that result in legal issues, this further widens the gap. This at least is my understanding of the complex issues at play
@@saskiascott8181 Agreed. That is why I said "largely fixed". There is still work to be done as you correctly point out in your example. However, I am truly confident that we shall most definitely get there!
You not sorry B&$#h shut the F&$k Up!
@@georgalem3310 Hi Georg, I want to apologise for what I'm fairly sure some of my direct ancestors have done because I feel it in my blood... horrible things. I feel a sense of responsibility to change the outcomes that I know still impact many Aboriginal people today. Some of my friends have patiently told me of their experiences and what they still go through as a result of the systemic and institutional racism that exists. I've watched it happen. I know I can't change the past, but I can still have empathy, feel sorrow and ten act alongside Aboriginal people to change the outcomes.
Uncle Jack's voice is so comforting to hear.
🤦🏼♀️😩Infinite thanks….I’ve been talking about this for years. Finely it’s being addressed. Im dealing with this from both my parents. The indigenous side from my mother, and the Armenian genocide from my father.
My children are also…very effected and don’t realize it. Thankfully these wounds are being addressed now. Peace love & blessings to all the family.❤️❤️❤️
Raise your kids better
We viewed this animation in my Cert IV Mental Health - Promote Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander cultural safety unit. It gave me a new appreciation and understanding for how much pain was caused by colonisation.
I've since shown it to a few people who have been as upset by the colonists behaviour as I was.
For any part my ancestors played in the trauma caused, I humbly offer apologies unreservedly. I'm sorry.
Healing takes time and we need to work together to help forge a solid basis for our future as an Australian people. The removal of systemic and institutionalised racism. The co-creation of a more harmonious existence of equals and the joint development of a brighter and more respectful future.
As a Hindu 🕉 I have inherited trauma of my previous Generations.. we have been victims of Genocides in millions., our history, identity has been tampered altered and hijacked..Our suffering is so evident, but still the world denies to acknowledge it.. it does us more damage
Join the club
I played this in a presentation to my colleagues today, it into context what I was talking about. I got many people tell they learnt from clip. Many Thanks
Beautiful film and the way it depicts the trauma our ancestors lived with and we inherited.
Myself and a small group of people watched this in our traditional aboriginal parenting class. A fantastic video, thank you.
I think we all really appreciated the opportunity to see this
I’m a counsellor and this was just superb. As a female Australian from a Turkish background I acknowledge the original custodians of this beautiful land and can’t imagine what the Indigenous community past and present have endured as a result of colonisation. Absolutely horrific. I stand in complete solidarity with my fellow indigenous brothers and sisters from both Australia and globally that YOU and your ancestors are the owners of your lands. Respect.
The irony of this comment completely flew over your head. Remove yourself from Australia, you are a coloniser. Just like the anglo saxons who came before you.
Beautiful. Professional. Factual and not angry. Thank you
This trauma has had a global impact and this conversation needs to be pushed out into the world to start a dialogue. War will only continue to push the trauma deeper.
as a cambodian, both my parent had faced the pol pot regime and have severe PTSD from it, they never went to a psy or anything to help them with their condition. Its eye opening
I relate, only my mother was able to get treatment and she was treated horribly. After going to a psychiatrist, she was taken into a psych ward. My grandma (Yey) went in to see her one day and saw her tied up in a dark room and beaten. They tied her arms with ropes to a chair and yelled at her My yey demanded that my mom could leave, but the workers did not let my mom leave until my yey called the cops. Now, my mom is doing much better, but she still remmebers how the psych ward treated her. Everytime i think about what our families have gone through, i always cry.
This is the best day of my life thank you universe for giving us what we deserve heal the trauma xxx
I'm Black from Alabama and its so sad the way we treat each other here,my parents were the worst but their were traumatized😭
I hope I don't offend when I say this but I really encourage you to move to a more accepting city, it's not all the same everywhere in america. I did it and found it very freeing to find a community that didn't pre-judge me or harass me because of my race.
Thank you for sharing this great resource. I have shared with many colleagues as I believe that it is a great tool to communicate briefly the history of the Indigenous community.
🥺 this hit me so deeply.
This was beautifully said and made
Insightful and liberating.
Generational trauma is also passed down through genes.
False
@@frostie7359 Actually, there is evidence to suggest trauma leaves a chemical mark on someone's genes and can be passed down genetically (epigenetics). Of course, it's very difficult to test in humans right now due to technological limits but there is a foundation for potential research in the future.
Snowy wood dweller I’m no expert, I just googled “epigenetic trauma” and read the Times Magazine article. It’s really interesting.
This has been proven true through scientific evidence
I believe ancestral memories are also passed, if we heal so much we can unblock those memories, lost knowledge etc. Speaking from personal experience of my own traumas being unblocked as I heal myself.
Fantastic video and explanation. I will use this in my trauma workshops. Thank you so much.
For 1000 years, my country’s flourishing and progressive society was under brutal attack. Our culture was attacked, our women raped and enslaved, our temples looted and destroyed. Today, in light of some prosperity, my people are waking up to who they are and what they are capable of. Over time we will reclaim our heritage. But it gives a lot of closure to see it recognised as the symptoms of this hurt are engrained in the society I was part of. Healing must start.
Very good! Thank you for made it!
This is a very powerful picture It will take generations to come to heal but we getting there
This is so powerful. I am on a journey to breaking the cycles of trauma starting with me and my children
Tremendous! Thank you so much. I shall share this with my students.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm Apache, this shit fucking hurts, I see it in my people, I can't save them all tho.
I wonder how many other current natives are traumatized from your ancestors scalping them 😅
@@timecat8534 well, my ancestors sin wasn't right, but who knows.
Informative history and facts of our Kanyini..
I believe this is a very great tool to educate all people. The stolen generations people are very beautiful people although they have suffered so much they can and do give so much to others and i wish to challenge each person who knows nothing of this, stolen generation to go and find out more, via the Healing Foundation or talking to an Aboriginal person
Jennifer Williams this video doesn’t only tell the story of Aboriginal people that were native to America. This video also details the story of African’s that were brought to American.
Africans that are native to America today are currently dealing with the Trama that was caused from previous generations hundreds of years ago. Very informative video!
Canada experienced the same thing. Trying to connect with my family and culture. Slowly making my way home.
Very good information! 👏💕
Beautiful!
This applies to all the peoples of earth !
I do work with ancestral trauma effectively with Rapid Personal Transformation (a technique by the way created by an Australian teacher by the way)
Wondering who did the animation on this? It's powerful, and does an incredible job illuminating the story.
beautiful video
This is wonderful
Amazing - thank you :)
All of us come from the same place, but we are told we are different. Our separation from each other results in broken hearts whether we know it or not. Heal then connect.
I Love this video and perspective , I'm wondering how I might go about getting permission to use the animation as a projection behind a performance I am doing later this year, My ground is called "INDIGENOISE" a group of multicultural youth from Byron bay.
Beautifully done! Very eloquent and truthful! Speaks to the impacts of colonial trauma, cultural trauma inflicted by colonizers and the outcomes.
It not only has to do with imperialism but other things too.
Just saw a documentary on Belgian Congo and as a Senegalese this hits anyways
I love Jack Charles he’s amazing
those voice actors are great
I'm shaking watching this, we did nothing to deserve this torture and the treatment we receive today. Why does the world hate us. We see your pain, please see ours. It's still happening.
Beautiful
good info !
Beautifully depicted
This makes me so sad..
I understand now what my cousin said when she said "find your community."
As a Cuban who has endured generations of communism, this hits home. I want myself and my people to heal, communism has ingrained so much generational trauma in us all, it’s still affecting people like me who escaped young and even newer generations that haven’t even lived under the evil regime. We need freedom from communism first, and the true healing. God help us 😞
Time to heal ❤
I love the animation of this incredibly powerful video. Can you tell us who did it?
Hi Shanna. Email us at community@healingfoundation.org.au and we will let you know. Thanks!
Hi there! I am working on a project for a class on intergenerational trauma and wanted to know if I could get access to your video (and give credit of course!)
this is very sad. 😣😖
Hmm this country will be our land ❤️🖤💛
I pry that God help you and heal your wounds
As a descendant of Irish who were abused in Canada during the 1840s and 1850s I resonate with this.
I’m Filipino and this hit hard.
Indigenous populations around the planet are experiencing this phenomenon even now especially in Africa!
Touching story 😢😢😢 with God all things are possible.
I would like to share this video with my Deaf peers, can we get captions on this?

@@MsHeartIsArt it doesn’t work
Who directed this film?
It’s insane. Very similar to Canada.
The past no more exists then the future. It only hurts if you choose to carry it with you.
Puh the stolen generation is one of the worst things Ive heard about. So sad
Is there anyway we can get this video closed captioned? I would really like to use this for my class.
czcams.com/video/Y-RaB19D13E/video.html
Perfect for now and us in every way.
Reading everyone's comments, and just commkn since. Its not color, Religion or generation. Or anything else. We are the only ones that can understand each other and we are more than the Population.
It's a great message. But what's the end game? What's the goal for the people driving this motion?
Healing, I think.
It's so they can find excuses to keep theirs violent, lazy culture.
Intergenerational healing.,..
.....heal it !
I think Uncle Jack Charles is narrating this.
Hi Pam, Yes it is Uncle Jack Charles.
Why are captions unavailable? Even in English?

Hi Healing Foundation- May I ask who you used to create such an amazing video animation? I’m an Indigenous lecturer and would love to create resources such as this in my teaching.
Hi Kevin, thanks for your message and glad you enjoyed the animation. Email us at community@healingfoundation.org.au and we can pass on the details you're after.
Would love to know the reasons why there are people that have disliked this video. This hits close to home with my Mother being of the stolen generation.
I love Uncle Jack Charles voice
In my opinion Trauma would not have been limited to the Indigenous people only during the colonization of Australia. British convicts that had no say in coming to Australia would have been traumatized, they were uprooted from their country which probably caused home sickness and lose of families, then forced to work the land in Australia, ill treated by those in power and there was a lost generation of children sent to Australia and recent history demonstrates the treatment these children suffered. In Australia between 1950 and 1970 (not such when it finished) children from unmarried mothers and families that were considered unable to care for children, had their children stolen from them, causing another stolen generation. I acknowledge that Indigenous suffered trauma but I believe whites did also. The country needs to heal but it should involve all people not just the indigenous it should again in my opinion be an equal partnership going forward.
Leonie Rowe Your comment reminded me of the movie, “The Nightingale”, that came out not too long ago, relating to terrible stuff that some of the convicts went through, but as well as us Indigenous people as well, by colonialists.
As a mixed native-white person, stop asking people "what tribe do you come from". Even mixed-bloods don't know their cultural roots. Just because our ancestors mated with the white man does not make us any less native American. I just want people to remember that blood can be muddied by whites too. We didn't want this, don't call us white when our ancestors were raped by your men. I do not like the cancel culture we have which will not acknowledge that "passing as white" does not equal "being a white man"
I fully fully agree! I recently had my DNA test conducted by Ancestry DNA and I am only 24% Nigerian there is a piece of blood inside of my body from a world wide multi-cultural tribe which even includes 1% Spain. I am a Multi-Racial American because I was born in California, USA.
Your ancestors raped your other ancestors. Got it
Similar things happened to the Irish...oh, and what about the Polish caught between two hulks of power and culture?
epigenetics, biological inheritance. those affect all of us, not just aboriginal pepole. we are all involved :)
ancestral / original sin, or generational curse and epigenetics, they all have very similar mechanics.
very interesting topic and beautiful animation though!

Indigenous People of Scotland and Ireland must have some intergenerational trauma
I would like to translate this to arabic why does it have cc
Anyone else here from Mary-Annes ECU class? Everyone did OK with the first assignment? I know I didn't haha.
On a different note - I think we need to look to Poland for advice on how to deal with Colonisation and its negative effects on society. Poland has been colonised and decolonised a lot of times throughout history, and they seem to bounce back - what can we take from their situation to learn how other Indigenous people around Earth can reassert their culture?
Every country in Europe has......
