I remember being a 6 year old and knowing that being a Pacific islander was the looked down at in the 90s. If anyone was allowed in this country it should have been our Polynesian older brother islands. They were so good at turning polynesian against polynesian. Let's not let this shit happen to us or anyone again.

They are Asian. Part of the Mongolian horde that had spread across the world like a plague... The Queen knew that if the whites had of known the same race had spread across the world it would no doubt spark a race war. Hence the colonisation and the In-breeding of WHITE BLOOD,it is the reason the union jack is on all the Polynesian flags as that represents the blood of the queen that they accepted. The world has only really changed in the last 100-150 years as White Blood was bred into black/Ethnics so they could become like whites.. look @ 2 minutes in the "Dr" look @ her and you will understand what I mean...

This is a very important part of our HIstory and this should have many more views. As a Polynesian born in NZ in the 70's, this gives me great understanding of what my Samoan and Maori grandparents went through before I was born. My father was also part of the Polynesian panthers but until now, I didn't fully understand the depth of what they went through. This was very tough time for all Polynesian families including Maori. Thank you for this video, I look forward to the next Episode.

My paternal great grandmother was taken from a Pacific island at the young age of 12 and from tracing our family tree we discovered that she was Samoan/Maori and she was raped by a French sailor and when they found out she was pregnant she was dumped on the port at Townsville not knowing anyone at all, she was taken in by a Southsea island family that looked after her. My brother and my daughter and I used to always get asked if we're from New Zealand and we'd say no, but now we do know that we have Maori in our bloodline.

Growing up in Rotorua my friends and neighbourhood didn't distinguish people because of their ethnicity it was always about the content of their character. Our Pasifika whanau take their tangi to our marae. Bury their loved ones at the urupa. They are us. Back in the 90s we just got on with life. It was all about which of the 5 high schools you belonged to which pretty became your creed. Maori. Pakeha. Indian. Asian. Pasifika. We all human.... aren't we.

thank you very much for your courage

One thing Polynesians no matter how you try to break us we won't fold! And will unite and die for the right cause! Warriors, unity, loyalty is in our blood!

This reminds me of here in Australia when the police used to do the raids to get the mixed race kids who looked white to train them to be domestics.

Overstayers would be more suited to Europeans to be honest us as Polynesians have many homelands Tonga Rarotonga Samoa Tokelau Tahiti Hawaii Aotearoa’s just to new a few I think the tactic conquer and divide to make us think that this isn’t our other Polynesian brothers and sisters home land as much as it is us as maori and that goes for some maori as well 🤦🏽‍♂️likr we didn’t fall from the same coconut tree and come off the same wakas that were continuously travelling back and forth from all of these islands makes us believe we are different cracks me up man I being Maori get annoyed especially when you fill out and application form for example and it ask who you are and it has pacific island or Polynesian and maori as seperate entities 🤦🏽‍♂️ but that’s it because it’s easy to control is this way I guess 😅😂 god bless sorry this happened to you in your own homeland brothers and sisters 💪🏽💪🏽 should teach this in Kura

nothing can change how traumatising it was for our pacific people, this is so heavy on us

This project is so true, i know some people in the past I knew about all these rumours a n out overstayed people are been hiding when their commission is over, alot of people these days they come over from samoa or were ever Island, n family try to connect them up with a older palagi old man lol, so they can sponsor them to live here. But very sad some people will still love that person, if it wasn't for them they would of been deported back to the island. But some other, after they been looked after n sponsor by their new partner or whatever, they neglected the love and honour these people did for them. They should be very thankful and been blessed bye these people that whats to help and love them or else, they go back n tui tui niko under the koko or ulu 🙃🤣🤣🤙👍

Dad came in the 1950s first. Mum came later. They both met in Auckland. Pacific Islanders were used for Labour in Factories but once the economic downturn started. Pacific Islanders were targeted by National PM "Piggy" Robert Muldoon. Simply as a political target. Racism and Fear works to get Votes it even works to this day. In the 70s we had moved to Invercargill so we were saved from the fear in main city centres; Auckland and Wellington. Interesting how the decades of colonialisation instilled unwarranted respect of Pacific people's at that time to authorities. Now we know better and that is to question.

I remember those days I had a friend ran down to me in Bay of Plenty cause his relatives were telling on each other,haha ,we were both in our 20s both islanders.His aunt is Samoan and of course he couldn’t stay with her,so it was like cat and mouse game.that went on for about 3years or so.He is now a citizen with two sons and a few grandkids.Happy ending. I thought I’ll put this for a laugh and prove a point that good things happens to those who dares.?Yeah,you made it bro and rightfully so bless you all.NewZealanders are good people but the leaders from time to time are so questionable i believe.

There is a spelling mistake in ''Coconet'' TV

Dawn raid was only a part of the huge impact which racism has affected our maori and polynesian people. What strikes me to this day is the fact that we are living under a system where are taught that our actions have consequences yet when you look at the racist actions that was enforced upon our people there was no consequences no remorse nothing. What's even worse is the challenge we are facing today is the level of hate we have now amongst our own people towards each other. The way in which pasifika people down play darker skin members in their family and the racism maori have towards pasifika calling them coconuts, and recently the trolling that young polynesian online show towards each other is shocking. This is all because white supremacists tried to embed brown new zealand to believe that if you are anything but white then you are less of a human being. Polynesian people do not realise the true beauty of their identity. That is the reason why when you see our kids on tik tok or social media if you ever notice the way they act the way they talk as if they are black americans. They don't identify themselves completely and take on a whole different persona because they don't see the beauty of being brown and being confident in their own skin. We were not created to follow and copy other races. We blaze our own trails we set our own trends we start our own businesses, walk our own paths!

We forget most times that we are just one race, the human race. I sympathize with the men & women who were ill treated during this horrific & unexpected time in their lives. However, as a Polynesian and a Christian we find hope and peace in our LORD Jesus Christ who went through the worst suffering ever known to man and He was sinless. He carried what we all deserve as fallen, sinful beings the punishment of our sins yet He Himself had no sin. If there was ever an unjust treatment in the history of mankind it was upon the Godman Jesus Christ. Who chose to forgave us and give us eternal hope upon repentance and trusting in His life & works alone as the mean for Salvation. If we don't find hope, peace and forgiveness in Jesus Christ then we'll never find it in a fallen world full of unforgiveness, bitterness, resentful, hatred, deception and false hope. This as an unfortunate part of our history but it doesn't determine our values & beliefs to avenge. That's God's job, we do our bit & learn of the Lord Jesus Christ lest we be conform to this world. Let His Words & Spirit transform us by the renewal of our minds. This world is not our home we're only passing through. Repent & Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ alone for Salvation. He will not refuse/rebuke anyone that draws near to Him in humility.
