Cevap
The correct answer identifies that National Sorry Day is specifically dedicated to remembering the Stolen Generations and acknowledging the pain caused by the historical practice of removing Indigenous children from their families.
The correct answer is correct because National Sorry Day, held on 26 May, is the specific day designated to honor the Stolen Generations—the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were forcibly removed from their families. It acknowledges the grief and suffering these policies caused and is part of the ongoing 'journey of healing' for the nation.
