This is a BIG week for all Australians: the new federal Labor government meets this Wednesday in Canberra with leaders of the Aboriginal communities to deliver the long-awaited official apology - "SORRY" - an attempt to heal the past wrongs inflicted on indigenous peoples for the "stolen generations" = children forcibly removed from their families.

These performers are members of the Descendance Aboriginal Dancers.
