Part of the Stolen Generations, Alfie was taken from his hospital bed by white government officials while recovering from pneumonia. He was raised by a white family in Ipswich, given a new name and grew up disconnected from his heritage. Despite these challenges, Alfie began searching for his family as a young adult. His tireless efforts culminated in a poignant reunion in 1988 when he was recognised by his sister during a First Nation land rights protest march. Although his parents had sadly passed away by then, the reunion with his siblings was a profound and healing moment for him. "To find my family was a huge burden lifted off my shoulders," Alfie recalls.
