Canada apologized to the First Nations people for sending their children to Indian schools where they were horribly abused and many died.

Very nice song, very touching and well sung with emotions.

This is a very significant day for Australia.

One of my favourite quotes is "don't judge people by the colour of their skin but by the colour of their heart"

Yes the stolen generation what a pity. I heard a story from an aboriginal lady who told her story about being taken away from her mother at a young age. She was looked after and brought up by a white family. She ended up as a head matron in a queensland hospital . Just think what a terrible life she has endured.

im sick of hearing people saying sorry for the actions of other people long ago in the past. i didnt take your kids so dont ask me to say sorry! one thing i will say is im sorry you abos are to pissed most of the time to hold a job, im sorry you dont want to work and want to get welfare to pay for grog instead of work for it, im sorry your children would rather sit in the bush under a tree and sniff glue instead of going to school. and most of all im sorry i wasted 2 mins writing this comment.

julzbra1 - you are an idiot. You may have not done anything personally to hurt the indigenous people (aside from that comment) but that doesn't mean you can't say sorry for those who did. The majority of the people who did do something to the Aboriginal people are not alive to say sorry, so those of us who are need to show some humility and apologise. I am not aboriginal but I am so so glad that Kevin Rudd said sorry. At least that means its been recognised and something can happen now

I believe in this songs message. We are all people, yes we've screwed up...badly. But that doesnt mean we can't try and love each other now. We can make a difference in the world by loving one another instead of hating. The only thing that comes from hate is violence and anger. Those produce death. We should celebrate life and what it has given us. A chance to live among other living creatures.

But its called respect. To say sorry for things your ancestors may have done to the aboriginals. And its not our failures, its those who basically invaded us. I am aboriginal and it is about time they all said sorry to the aboriginals. Deserves them right.

[julzbra1]

Im not sorry for anything..... time to take responsibility for your own actions abos and stop blaming white man for all your failures
