Australia offers apology for treatment of Aborigines.
Australia's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd officially apologized on behalf of the government for its poor treatment of Aborigines.

Rudd apologized for forcibly taking thousands of Aboriginal children from their communities. The policy of forced assimilation ended in the 1970.

Same thing happened in here, when are we the Indigenous people of this land going to get an apology from the US Government?
Maybe George W Bush will offer it, Ya think?
