'My name is Marita Ahchee. I was born at Aileron up from Alice Springs. My mother was an Anmetjere woman and my father was an Irish man. As I got a little bit older we moved into town, into the Bungalow, which is now called the Telegraph Station.'

'There were nuns, they were after me all the time. Mum would take me in the hills and hide me there. So we done that a few times I can remember. They caught us one day, Mum didn’t expect them to pull up...' (Transcribed from the Stolen Generations' Testimonies website)
