This week in literacy we are learning about the dawn raids in the 1970's. In the 1970's the government decided that the people in New Zealand that were visiting on immigration had to go back to there country's after the economy dropped. One morning you would see your friend that you walked to school with the next morning they wouldn't be there because they got chucked in the paddy wagon and got taken away to get deported back to their country's. The reason they were called the "Dawn Raids" is because they would take them away in the early mornings. The Polynesian panthers were the people that wanted to fight against this choice of the New Zealand Government. its was not only Polynesian people that got targeted, The people from lots of other country' that had overstayed got deported too.
Have you herd about the dawn raids
