Today is national sorry day, and in Adelaide, hundreds gathered together in Victoria Square to mark the occasion. Norm Harpel, one of the founding members of the Journey of Healing Association says why today is the day to remember. According to Link-Up, a program linking people from the stolen generation with their families, about ten people a year are successfully getting in contact with long lost loved ones. Sisters Chrissie and Quanya Jean-Anne McKierneraney are two of eight from their family who were taken under the white Australia policy and they explain how their mother thought her children were going on a holiday.
