About this event

National Sorry Day is the day when we remember and acknowledge the hurt and damage caused in the past by our governments when they forcibly removed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families, communities and cultures.

It’s a day when we reflect on the sad and painful stories of the Stolen Generations, recognise the resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and acknowledge the power and importance of saying we are sorry for these wrongs. It’s also a day when we recognise that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to suffer from the effects of these policies.

To commemorate National Sorry Day 2022, La Trobe University invites you to join the Bendigo Sunset Ceremony. Acknowledging our families, friends and ancestors affected by the Stolen Generations, the Sunset Ceremony is an opportunity to come together to listen, learn and heal.

DATE: Thursday 26 May 2022

TIME: 5:00 - 7:00 PM

VENUE: La Trobe University Library Gallery/Plaza, Bendigo campus

La Trobe University proudly acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands where its campuses are located in Victoria. We recognise that Indigenous Australians have an ongoing connection to the land and the University values their unique contribution to both the University and the wider Australian society.
