What is the Bringing Them Home report?Show answer
The 1997 report was a landmark act of truth-telling. By gathering survivor testimony, it documented the scale and consequences of removal and named the policy as a gross violation of human rights. Its finding that the removals satisfied the definition of genocide, because they were intended to destroy the cultural foundations of a group, was confronting and contested, but it reframed the national conversation. Its recommendations covered reparations, the right to records, family reunion services and a formal apology.
