Hon AUPITO WILLIAM SIO (Associate Minister of Education (Pacific Peoples)): Today, the Government announced 35 recipients of the Tulī Takes Flight Scholarships, which were a key part of last year's Dawn Raids apology. The scholarships are a part of this Government's gesture of a reconciliation to mark the apology by this Government for the harms during the Dawn Raids of the 1970s. The Government tasked the Ministry of Education to establish the Tulī Takes Flight Scholarships for Aotearoa-Pacific peoples as one part of the gesture of goodwill reconciliation package. The Tulī bird migrates from the Pacific on a 20,000 kilometre round trip every year to their breeding grounds in Alaska, north-west Canada, and Siberia. It is a powerful symbol of our Pacific peoples of Aotearoa and their migration story, their stamina, their resilience, their courage, and their determination to learn, succeed, and thrive in Aotearoa New Zealand.
