Anniversay of the Apology to Australia's Indigenous Peoples.

 

On 13 February 2008 Prime Minister Kevin Rudd made a formal apology to Australia’s Stolen Generations, those Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who had been removed as children from their families and their culture. Although the apology could not take away the pain of the past, many felt that it was a necessary first step in the healing process.
