Our group discussed the idea of recovering the girls. The British wanted to recover the girls and bring them back to the institution. The British using the word "recover" portrays the image that they have possession of the girls. They are human beings they are not owned by anyone. The British think they need to recover them and take them back to the institute. I do not think the British have any right to say that the girls belong to them because of their mixed race. They will truly be "recovered" when they are reunited with their families in the tribes.
