Half-Caste Act : ウィキペディア英語版 | Half-Caste Act
Half-Caste Act was the common name given to Acts of Parliament passed in Victoria and Western Australia in 1886.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Glossary )〕 They became the model for legislation of Aboriginal communities throughout Australia, such as the Aboriginal Protection and restriction of the sale of opium act 1897 in Queensland.〔Kenneth Liberman. The Decline of the Kuwarra People of Australia's Western Desert: A Case Study of Legally Secured Domination. Ethnohistory, Vol. 27, No. 2. (Spring, 1980), pp. 119-133. See page 121 in particular.〕 ==Victoria== The Victorian Half-Caste Act (in full, an ''Act to amend an Act entitled "An Act to Provide for the Protection and Management of the Aboriginal Natives of Victoria"'') was an extension and expansion of the Aboriginal Protection Act which gave extensive powers over the lives of Aboriginal people to the Board for the Protection of Aborigines, including regulation of residence, employment and marriage. In particular, the 1886 act started to remove Aboriginal people of mixed descent, known as 'half-castes', from the Aboriginal stations or reserves to force them to assimilate into European society. These expulsions separated families and communities, causing distress and leading to protest. Nevertheless, the Board refused to assist the expelled people. It was assumed that the expulsions would lead to the decline in the population of the reserves and their eventual closure. The failure of this policy and its inhumanity led to Victoria's ''Aborigines Act'' of 1910 and ''Aboriginal Lands Act'' of 1970, which abandoned this policy.〔
