Towards solidarity and meaningful reconciliation with the Aboriginal people of this great country we share. |
AUSTRALIA : Big Country, Small Heart? A series of short articles by Ribnga Green on the history and background to the present plight of the Australian aboriginal people and the need for reconciliation. "While it is true that non-Indigenous children were also forcibly separated from their families and face traumas that are no less debilitating, no other groups in Australia suffered forced separation in the systematic and systemic way that Aboriginal people did." |
The Sorry Ribbon Campaign provides a mechanism for people to show their solidarity with the Aboriginal people of this country for the whole "Stolen Children" episode. It provides an opportunity for those who feel strongly that Australians have a collective responsibility for what happened, and would like to say "Sorry" to the Aboriginal community and be able to show this publicly. The Sorry Ribbon is a way to raise awareness of this and other Aboriginal issues, both within and without the Australian community. The "I'm sorry ribbon" is chosen to represent the colors of the Aboriginal Flag (red, yellow and black) and the Torres Strait Islander Flag (blue and green). The campaign provides a ribbon with the words "I'm Sorry" underneath. The I'm sorry campaign is based on similar programs such as the blue ribbon campaign for the preservation of basic civil rights in the electronic world.
