Dawn Raids .

The Dawn Raids 

The Dawn Raids first occurred around the 1970's, were the palangi people and white people came and raided the Polynesians homes to deport them back to the islands. Reason being racism was still around, The police,pakeha and pacific islanders were involved. Nowadays I think that non-coloured people would be disgusted and embarrassed with how they treated the Polynesians and be very thankful that they made a change, and no longer would police raid pacific islanders houses. Islanders being forced to go back home, they were racist towards our skin colour and our appearance which made them feel like they had the right to treat us differently.
