National Sorry Day is observed every May 26 in Australia, serving as a reminder of the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly the forced removal of Indigenous children from their families, known as the "Stolen Generations." This day encourages reflection on the historical injustices faced by these communities and acknowledges the strength of the survivors. Typical customs include flag-raising events, morning teas or lunches, and speeches from community leaders, including Indigenous elders. The day is commemorated by Australians nationwide, emphasizing the importance of healing and reconciliation. National Sorry Day originated in 1998, following the "Bringing Them Home" report, which recommended an unreserved apology and reparations for the affected families.
