Kinchela Aboriginal Boys' Training Home
Kinchela Aboriginal Boys' Training Home, Former Aboriginal children training facility in Kempsey Shire, Australia.
The Kinchela Aboriginal Boys' Training Home consists of multiple buildings along South West Rocks Road where Aboriginal children lived from 1924 to 1970.
The New South Wales government operated this institution for 46 years, forcibly separating Aboriginal boys from their families as part of the Stolen Generations policy.
The site stands on Dunghutti land and represents the systematic displacement of Aboriginal children through governmental assimilation programs in twentieth-century Australia.
The Kinchela Boys Home Aboriginal Corporation now leads educational programs about the history of forced separations and provides support services to survivors.
Former residents received numbers instead of names upon arrival, marking the start of a strict regimen aimed at erasing their Aboriginal identity.
