Description

In 2019 the Northern Territory Stolen Generations Aboriginal Corporation commissioned case studies based on oral history interviews of some of their members and their families to explore issues related to the inter-generational impacts of the Stolen Generations. This case study focuses on the life of Lance Stott. Lance was removed from his family at birth when his mother died in childbirth in Darwin in 1959. Lance was taken to the Garden Point Catholic Mission on the north-west coast of Melville Island, part of the Tiwi Islands, approximately 125km north Darwin. Lance grew up at Garden Point between 1959 and 1969. During the mid-1960s Lance was fostered on multiple occasions with families in Adelaide, South Australia but returned to Garden Point on each occasion. Lance recalls his time at Garden Point in a mixture of happy nostalgia and grief due to physical violence from staff and bullying at the hands of other children. In 1969 Lance was put into the care of his own family which, until that time, he did not know existed. The case study explores how Lance's Garden Point experiences may have affected his life. Lance lived and worked in Darwin and the Northern Territory's Top End all his life. He survived Cyclone Tracy and enjoyed life in Darwin through the 1970s and 80s. He has created his own family and over time he reconnected with his traditional homelands in the Daly River area. Later in his work life he was employed as a house parent at Kormilda College, an Aboriginal boarding school in Darwin, drawing on his own experiences at Garden Point to support the boarders. In his own words Lance has 'taken life as it comes.' It has not always been an easy journey. His early life at Garden Point Mission has left a dark lifelong legacy that cannot be forgotten or forgiven. Lance tells his own story convinced that 'You got to tellem right story'.
