A Day for the World to Say Sorry
From Australia’s National Sorry Day Toward an International Day of Truth, Repentance, and Repair
A PeaceGrooves Reflection
There are words so overused that they risk becoming weightless. Sorry is one of them. We say it when we bump into someone in a hallway, when we answer an email too late, when we make an insignificant mistake. Yet there are times when sorry is not small at all. There are wounds so deep, so deliberately inflicted, and so long denied that the speaking of sorrow becomes an act of public truth.
Australia’s National Sorry Day, observed each year on May 26, is such a day. It remembers the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children forcibly removed from their families, communities, languages, and cultures under government policies now associated with the Stolen Generations. The date marks the anniversary of the 1997 tabling of the Bringing Them Home report, the landmark national inquiry that gathered testimony from survivors and documented the devastation caused by these removals. The report called not only for recognition of what had happened, but for apology, healing, reparations, family reunion, access to records, and measures ensuring such violations would never recur.
National Sorry Day did not begin as a sentimental holiday….

Helen Betty Osborne was a shy high school student, from #kinosaosipi #firstnation in the Pas to get her education, when she was brutally and randomly killed, just for being an #indigenouswoman. The case remained unsolved for years, and was a watershed for exposing #racism in the #police and #mmiwg2s .
Rest in power.

Today is #NationalTruthAndReconciliationDay, so grab your orange shirt, but don't stop there! It is a great time to unlearn and #Decolonize our minds and society (but this should be a priority 24/7 and 365). Educate yourself and others, spread awareness, join community gatherings, donate to #Indigenous orgs, and buy Indigenous. In solidarity ✊️

A Vancouver Island First Nation whose people were the first to greet European explorers in the region almost 250 years ago is taking British Columbia to court, seeking title to their traditional territories and financial compensation.
Chief Mike Maquinna, a descendent of #ChiefMaquinna who met British explorer Capt. James Cook in 1776, says the claim in #BCSupremeCourt seeks to return decision-making, resource and ecological stewardship to the #Mowachaht / #Muchalalaht First Nation.
He says the province has been acting as the sole decision-making authority in the #GoldRiver / #Tahsis areas of northern #VancouverIsland especially with regards to the forest resource, without the consent of his nation.
Hereditary Chief Jerry Jack says the claim filed today seeks title to about 66,000 hectares of land from #FriendlyCove to Tahsis in the north and #ButtleLake in the east, and an undisclosed amount of financial compensation.

TRUTH TELLING & TREATY FORUM
🗓️ Thursday 20th Jun 2024, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm AEST
🏤 Fitzroy Town Hall, 201 Napier St, Fitzroy VIC 3065, Australia (or via livestream)
💰 $0 (First Nations - Online and In-Person), $5 (Online), $5 (General Admission - Unemployed), $10 (General Admission - Employed) or $25 (General Admission - Solidarity)💚 Following the devastatingly divisive Voice to Parliament last October, so-called Australians (Yes and Sovereign No/Abstaining voters alike) NEED to be advocating for Treaty and Truth Telling NOW.
🔗 https://events.humanitix.com/truth-telling-and-treaty-forum
Event brief: "A Truth Telling & Treaty forum In conversation with Senator Lidia Thorpe, Uncle Gary Foley, Uncle Jim Everett and others.
This event aims to provide an opportunity to hear from First Nations Elders and leaders about where to go from here on First Nations Justice.
We will be discussing the importance of Truth Telling as the first step – looking at current developments, and what a national Truth Telling process would contribute. We will also discuss what genuine, inclusive Treaty processes would look like, from the grassroots to National & International levels.
Treaty must be for the people, by the people. It has to come from the ground up, and each of us have a role to play in making it happen."
