How Did Christian Missionaries Suppress The Indigenous Culture

Christian missionaries were trying to suppress the indigenous culture. Their beliefs and traditions were being frowned upon and, were being forced into a more modern way of life.

The Australian government gave the Aborigines low paying jobs, and the children were put into non- indigenous houses or government institutions. The children were known as the “stolen generations”. They wanted the indigenous group to forget their more conservative way of life and adapt to the modern and fast changing culture around them.
