:12:01
comes under my control.
:12:04
Notice, if you will,
the half-caste child.
:12:08
And there are
ever-increasing numbers of them.
:12:10
Now, what is to happen to them?
:12:13
Are we to allow the creation
of an unwanted third race?
:12:18
Should coloureds be encouraged
to go back to the black?
:12:21
Or should they be advanced
to white status
:12:24
and be absorbed
in the white population?
:12:28
Now, time and again,
I'm asked by some white man,
:12:31
"If I marry
this coloured person,
:12:33
"will our children be black?"
:12:34
And as Chief Protector
of Aborigines,
:12:36
it is my responsibility
:12:38
to accept or reject those marriages.
:12:46
Here is the answer.
:12:49
Three generations.
:12:51
Half-blood grandmother.
:12:53
Quadroon daughter.
:12:55
Octoroon grandson.
:12:57
Now, as you can see,
in the third generation,
:12:59
or third cross,
:13:01
no trace of native origin
is apparent.
:13:04
The continuing
infiltration of white blood
:13:08
finally stamps out
the black colour.
:13:11
The Aboriginal
has simply been bred out.
:13:18
Now...
:13:21
...we come to...
:13:25
We come to the Moore River
Native Settlement.
:13:29
Ladies, most of you are familiar
with our work here -
:13:31
the training of domestic
servants and farm labourers.
:13:34
I would like to thank you
for your continuing support.
:13:37
Hundreds of half-caste children
:13:39
have been gathered up
and brought here
:13:42
to be given the benefit
:13:43
of everything
our culture has to offer.
:13:48
For if we are to fit and train
such children for the future,
:13:52
they cannot be left as they are.
:13:55
And, in spite of himself,
:13:57
the native must be helped.
