Before, during, and after the Dawn Raids, tangata whenua were suffering and suffocating from the partnership between the two races known as the Treaty of Waitangi. Fortunately, we have arrived at a time where we understand the race-based suffering that has been confronted by tangata whenua for over two centuries, as well as we, the descendants of the Dawn Raids migrants, who answered New Zealand's call to come and work in the factories, from the Kingdom of Tonga to the islands of Samoa—the Pacific region—in the 1960s and 1970s.
