Cevap
The primary purpose of National Sorry Day is to acknowledge the grief and impact caused by the forced removal of Indigenous children from their families and to focus on the healing process.
The correct answer is correct because National Sorry Day is specifically dedicated to acknowledging the Stolen Generations—the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were forcibly removed from their families. It is a day to recognize the ongoing impact of these policies and to support the healing process for individuals and communities.
