The first national sorry day was held on May 26 1998. The cause for this day was because the government was attempting to take the Aboriginal and Torres Strait children away from their families. This day is celebrated every year on May 26 to remember the removals and the effects it has made. This day is also celebrated to recognize the mistakes that the people made to the indigenous people and so that they recovering process could begin.
Because of the National Sorry Days awareness for the aboriginal people has grown throughout the country and the rest of the world. This has started a list of rights for them and started the process of equal status in the world.
