Solution

The 60s Scoop refers to when thousands of Aboriginal children were taken from their homes and placed in the Child Welfare system. This happened primarily in the 1960s, hence the term "60s Scoop". The children were often placed with non-Aboriginal families, resulting in a loss of cultural identity and heritage.
