Provocation

I made a DLO about the Polyneisian Panthers and the Dawn raids and our question was, should the Government of today (2021) have apologised for the dawn raids of yesterday (1970s)?  The dawn raids of the 1970s involves several considerations. The prime minister was apologizing on the behalf of the government in 2021. An apology could acknowledge the pain that they have caused over the past years towards the Pacific community. The pakeha didn’t treat the Polynesian Panthers fairly throughout their entire lives, creating generational trauma for the youngs one to pass on when they are older. Our opinion was that the government of today (2021) should apologise for the past actions of the dawn raids from yesterday (1970) to insure no other public outcries occur and so no other families hold any grudges / anger. The dawn raids back then was unacceptable and caused generational trauma.
