Dawn Raids

 Reflection Section:

This week in social study our teacher taught us about the Dawn Raids. It was explained in detail how the Dawn Raids had happened. The Dawn raids were an apology to the Pacific People who faced such tremendous incidents in the 1970s where police were attacking our people and our community. It also says that some of our people are still living in fear and that some still don't forget what had happened.                    The Prime Minister invited three languages, the Samoans, Tongas, Te Reo Maori, and the English were also there during the Dawn Raids.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           “While no amount of rain can remove the bitter salt from the ocean waters, I ask you to let our spiritual connectedness soften your pain, and allow forgiveness to flow on this day,” she said.                                                                                                                                                                               It was a memory to those who were directly affected by it. New Zealand has offered a lot of help to the Pacific people as a form of an apology.  Pasifika people have the Prime Minister (Jacinda Aderm) sinscere apology.
