The tabling of the 'Bringing Them Home' report in Parliament in 1997
National Sorry Day was established following the tabling of the 'Bringing Them Home' report in the Australian Parliament on 26 May 1997. This report resulted from a national inquiry into the forced removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families, and it recommended an annual day of acknowledgment to help with the healing process for the Stolen Generations.
