On Croker Island missionaries prepared them for a live of service.
After a couple of years of schooling Edna was assigned the task of taking care of other children.
Violence,sometimes sexual,was routine."Girls would run away,they´d get caught,their hair would be shaved off,
they´d get a beating and then they´d be locked up.
It was her good fortune to be welcomed into the home of a white Methodist minister and his wife,who had often received Aboriginal children in their home.The 16-year-old went back to learning, and worked as a nursing aid until she retired recently.
Her adoptive sister,Fay Gale ,was the first woman to become vice-chancellor of the University of Western Australia.Alltough it was alomst impossible for Ms Walker´s people to find her,Prof Gale started a search for her family.Four years ago she was she was reunited with her younger brother Jak.He told her where she had been born 60 years ago-all her mother´s children were born under the same coolabah tree.
When they met,Jack would not leave her side,repeating,"This is my sister,my sister" Having spent most of her life not being Aboriginal,Ms Walker is discovering pride in her survival and in her identity."My own children help me with that,they are proud to be Aboriginal."
After what are called the "killing times" there were the "taking" times.As Prof Gale puts it,police officers travelled hundreds of miles-they weren´t out catching criminals,they were catching children.
"Mr Howard may not get it",she says,"but stolen is the only word for it"
