The Polynesian Panthers are coming to Ōtepoti!

The Polynesian Panther Party was established in Aotearoa in 1971 to respond to racism and ill treatment of Pacific peoples in Aotearoa.

The Panthers were instrumental in advancing the 2021 Government apology for the Dawn Raids. Read more about them below.
