National Sorry Day (26 May) can evoke many feelings and emotions, for some, it’s a day for commemoration, mourning, reflection and reconciliation. This day marks 23 years since the Bringing Them Home Report which was tabled in conjunction with the National Inquiry into the separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families and communities.
It is such an important day to remember our Stolen Generations, their descendants, communities and healing that is still ongoing. National Sorry Day is a day to acknowledge the strength of Stolen Generations Survivors and reflect on how we can all play a part in the healing process for our nation.
