The Moondani Toombadool Centre will be holding National Sorry Day events across all three campuses on Thursday 26 May.
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 people and nation.
While this date carries great significance for the Stolen Generations and other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, it is also commemorated by Australians right around the country.
Sea of Hands
Australians for Native Title & Reconciliation (ANTaR) Sea of Hands is an iconic symbol of reconciliation
It is a way for communities all around Australia to engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues and events.
The first Sea of Hands was held on 12 October 1997, in front of Parliament House, Canberra.
It was created as a powerful, physical representation of the Citizen’s Statement on Native Title – a petition circulated by ANTaR to mobilise non-Indigenous support for native title and reconciliation.
