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.
Australians for Native Title & Reconciliation (ANTaR) Sea of Hands is an iconic symbol of reconciliation and 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 the 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.
All staff and students are invited to join the National Sorry Day event on Thursday 26 May at the Moondani Toombadool Centre to plant a Sea of Hands.( located at the AD108 Building next to the old Haddon's site)
Please register for this event.
