Events have been held around the country to mark National Sorry Day, an acknowledgment of the forced removal of First Nations children from their families and culture.



One-third of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are descendants of Stolen Generations survivors, and many have shared their families stories and memories of child removal.
As reconciliation week also begins, First Nations leaders are calling for truth-telling and concrete action from politicians to address ongoing disadvantage.
