YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNew Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern issued a formal apology for racist raids against the Pacific Islander population in the 1970s. The “Dawn Raids” impacted more than 1,000 people, with the resulting deportations shattering families and immigrant communities.
They particularly targeted the Pasifika community using claims of overstayed visas, despite the fact that the bulk of overstayed visas were from North American and European immigrants.
Ardern took part in a traditional Samoan ceremony for seeking forgiveness, and also announced government initiatives to attempt to bridge the gap caused by the Dawn Raids.
