George Fife Angas was the chairperson of the South Australian Company that colonised South Australia in 1836. The South Australian Company ead by George Fife Angas dispossessed Aboriginal people of the traditional lands in order to free the land up for British colonial settlers who he sold the land to. Aboriginal people were forced off their land in to government owned christian missions in the 19th century. Aboriginal people were not allow to speak language or practice culture on the missions. During this period the South Australian Government created the stolen generation which was first enacted on Kaurna people in Adelaide in 19th century. The missions operated for about 120 years in South Australia until 1967 referendum that recognised Aboriginal people as Australian citizens.
