when did the stolen generation end

The Stolen Generations in Australia effectively ended in the late 1960s to early 1970s, with official policy and removal practices winding down by around 1969–1970. The policy era that enabled removals varied by state, but most authoritative milestones fall within this window, and removals continued in some jurisdictions into the early 1970s. The national apology and broader reconciliation processes occurred much later, including the National Sorry Day on 26 May 1998 and the formal national apology delivered on 13 February 2008. If you’d like, I can pull precise year-by-year timelines for each state and territory to show exactly when removals ceased in different places.
