Stolen Generations survivor Aunty Angelique Wittwer’s journey began with her removal from family as a child in the Northern Territory, and eventually led her through places like Melville Island, South Australia, and Papua New Guinea, before reconnecting to her Warlpiri heritage in Lajamanu with the support of Link-Up (Qld). Her son Samuel has walked alongside his mother on this path of rediscovery and reconnection, gaining a deep sense of belonging.
Since 1984, Link-Up (Qld) has supported Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples impacted by forced removal to reconnect with family, country and culture. With more than four decades of experience, our team combines cultural knowledge, trauma-informed practice and deep respect for each person’s story. We have helped thousands of Stolen Generations survivors and descendants find answers, rebuild connections and continue healing.
Our quarterly magazine features an all-new collection of stories of healing and reunification by Link-Up (Qld) clients, as well as news from our Queensland communities and the latest updates from the Link-Up (Qld) team.
Link-Up (Qld) acknowledges the Traditional Owners of country on which we work and live. We recognise their continuing connection to land, water, and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and thank them for their wisdom and guidance as we walk in their footsteps. We extend and pay our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and to our non-Indigenous friends.
