Hello people! Today I will be blogging about the work we have been working on this term. Our theme were Discrimination against minority groups NZ. We were given short statements about different topics and those were, Zeinab’s Writing, #StopAsianHate 2021 - Simu Liu ,Same Love by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Young people with disabilities and Dawn Raids.
This week we were focused on Dawn Raids. The dawn raids is about the chaos that happened many years ago. Just a few weeks go the president of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, posted a post on Facebook stating that she wanted to appolozise to the pacificans on behalf on what happened years ago, the dawn raids. Because of the dawn raids, many pacificans were kicked out of the country and it caused many families to downfall and lost of jobs.
Jacinda also participated in the ifoga which is a Samoan custom they have. If you don't know what an Ifoga is, An ifoga is where you were covered in this large mat(?) as an apology. You apologies to whatever you did and once you're forgiven the large mat will be taken off you by the samoan people themselves..However if you are not forgiven you have to take it off yourself..
