Timeline PhotosToday is #NationalSorryDay.
Each year on May 26th National Sorry Day is held to acknowledge and recognise members of the Stolen Generations. The National Portrait Gallery wishes to acknowledge this day, and pay our respects to the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people: the traditional owners of the land on which the National Portrait Gallery stands.
This portrait from our collection depicts Matilda House, Ngambri Elder, adorned in a possum-skin cloak on the day she performed the Welcome to Country ceremony at the opening of the 42nd Parliament of Australia in 2008 – the very first time such a ceremony was held at the Australian Parliament. The following day on 13 February 2008 Kevin Rudd made The National Apology to the Stolen Generations. Matilda House contributed to the 'Bringing Them Home' report into the Stolen Generations.
