Ahead of National Sorry Day on Sunday, local Canberra residents gathered in Ngunnawal and Ngambri country to acknowledge and honour those like Ricky Hampson, who are part of the Stolen Generations.
"I grew up told that I was adopted, and I didn't find out until later in life that there was no adoption or anything like that, so I found out I was part of the Stolen Generation from 1965, taken from a hospital," he said.
