This morning at our school assembly we had a special prayer to say sorry to the Aboriginal community. This morning at 9.00am, our Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd made a speech to say sorry to The Stolen Generation, for taking the children away from their families over 70 years ago.
The Stolen Generation are a large group of Aboriginal people that were taken from their families when they were young by the Australian Government. The government thought they were helping the children by giving them to other families to educate and look after them.
We said sorry because we felt their sadness when they were taken from their families.
