Rabbit Proof Fence is perfect, and I will do my best to relate what I have to say to that!. The idea was that by breeding Aboriginal people with whites, they would "breed out" the indigenous in them, and breed them out completely, so they would no longer exist!. The best way to look at it, and please excuse the terminology, and I am not trying to be racist, is that they were trying to make them European or white!. Their culture was suppressed by the Europeans because they were superior to the Aborigines!. As a result, these children lost their ways of life that they had known!.
The scene in Rabbit Proof Fence that really demonstrates this superiority is when the European man is explain the plan of "breeding out the indigenous people" to the investors in his camp of children!. It really does demonstrate what they really thought, and what they were really trying to do!.
