BiographyHistory

Rosemary Wanganeen is a member of the Stolen Generations. She was separated from her father and siblings and fostered after her mother's death. Wanganeen worked with the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody in 1987, and later established the Sacred Site Within Healing Centre to provide counselling to others who have suffered abuse and loss.

Wanganeen's story was recorded by the National Library of Australia for the Bringing Them Home oral history project and appeared in the associated publication Many Voices: Reflections on experiences of Indigenous child separation, edited by Doreen Mellor and Anna Haebich (2002).
