Dawn Raids

Dawn Raids 

Dawn raids started in the mid 1970's to the early 1980's. The people that were involved in the dawn raids were the police and the pacific islanders. In New Zealand in the 1900's there was a thing called dawn raids. What happened was early at dawn the police would search the the houses for islanders that were over stayers and take them to a place where they had to wait before they were sent back to there homeland. It happened because there was a allowance that they could only stay for 3 months but they decided to stay because they were getting paid more than they were in the islands. I think that the white people were racist because they weren't familiar with the kind of people they were. I think that the white people feel devastated of what they did back then. They also probably feel guttered because they raided the Islanders. They must think we're nice now that they've actually met us. Dawn Raids
