National Sorry Day
National Sorry Day is held on May 26 and marks the day that the landmark ‘Bringing them Home’ report was tabled in federal parliament in 1997.
It is a time to remember the past policies of forced child removal, and reflect on the sad and painful stories of the Stolen Generations. It is a time to recognise the resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the power of saying Sorry.
In 2021 the RAP team look forward to bringing you an event to commemorate the day, to be announced closer to May 26. However you might also like to consider hosting events in your team or at your school to reflect on National Sorry Day.
