“The research paper considers the legal issues arising from the Canadian Native Residential Schools and the Australian ‘stolen generation’. The paper compares and contrasts the approaches taken by the respective courts and governments in these Nations to the various causes of actions stemming from such. Building on this, the paper will focus on the legal issues that are yet to be considered by the courts including breaches of domestic and international treaties, liability for loss of culture and language intergenerational claims.”
