Doris KarTINyeri wasn't an orphan or a homeless child. She had her own loving family who was waiting for her to return. But when she was only a month old and her mother died, she was stolen from the hospital and placed there... at Colebrook Home with other stolen Aboriginal children.
'Kick the Tin' is a game Doris KarTINyeri played at the Colebrook Home. It is a story of a life that has been kicked around. It tells of an unforgettable experience about young Doris whose heritage had been taken from her. She was made to lose her culture and language.
Fourteen years at Colebrook Home, she felt no bond with her true family. She refused even her own sister which caused great pain for her natural family.
Many of the Stolen Generation didn't have a chance to come back to their loved ones, their families and their homes.
They missed out on knowing their language, culture, tradition and identity...
Imagine how upset you and your family would be if you didn't have any meaning for a word such as 'mother'. Doris' life was just like that.
For me, the real beauty of this book is watching the world through Doris' eyes. The way she appreciates everything that we take for granted is so eye opening! It is simply priceless! I want you to find out how good it is for yourself!

Doris Kartinyeri is a Ngarrindjeri woman stolen from her family and institutionalised in a home for Aboriginal children as an infant. The recent report, Bringing Them Home, on the Stolen Generation documents the consequences of the government policy on the effects of removing children from their families. Doris Kartinyeri was born in 1945 into the Ngarrindjeri community. She was one of thousands of Australian Aboriginals stolen as an infant after her mother's death. Her childhood was spent at Colebrook home with other stolen Aboriginal children. At fourteen she began working as a domestic in a private minister's home for no wages. Her first paid job was as a domestic at Northfield Infectious Diseases Hospital. In her late teens Doris returned to her people, married and had children. She found her cultural Ngarrindjeri heritage and her voice as a advocate for the stolen generation.
Doris Kartinyeri is well known in public circles. The book includes reproductions of photographic and textual documents.
