National Sorry Day

Stolen Generations Track Home (download poster)

The Bringing them home: The 'Stolen Children' report (1997) included the findings and recommendations of the National Inquiry into the separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children From Their Families. The report recommended that a National Sorry Day be held each year on May 26 May "to commemorate the history of forcible removals and its effects." As a result of this recommendation the National Sorry Day Committee, a community-based organisation, was formed.
