Thanks for making the videos (part 1 to part 3). I'm using some of the quotes and info from these videos to help my teacher become aware of the actions and consequences of the Polynesian Panthers in NZ (1970's). I found this doco useful. And God bless all the people that were involved in this movement. I am grateful for the changes that they brought about, in NZ
I really enjoy watching these stories really moving and should be moving for all Polynesian people. I will use these stories in my studies for me as a Polynesian I appreciate what needed to be done to have a voice today.
Iam Kingston Te iwingaro TAPIKI male 21 of New Zealand, living in Australia as a follower of most high, I pay my highest respect to Polynesian culture and the panther movement, and thank u in advance as I revere this dime. but I do feel the same about Australia with black power and the black idealist being under white supremacy and stripped of human benefits for the colour of skin, so I too one day hope too start the first serious movement in praise to the most high Ptah and maat, and this was so moving I had to comment so you know how widely effected the world is from your movement 13
I have a very clear memories of Ponsonby GreyLynn during the 70s.I arrived in Auckland 1970 second lot of multi emigrants from Samoa. My English was not very good but i knew what was going on.. I spent alots of hours outside the Panthers office. I had 3 friends going in and out of the office and then they all came out together and said that we have a job, was to follow the task force van and report back. I wish i had a VIDEO. My friends Viki , Vincent and David. The way the treaed my people and my maori cousins were Dam EVIL... Im still living in the area.
Glad I saw this, though it's sobering to reflect on how things were - and still are in many ways. Injustice and oppression stings. - Grey-haired pakeha guy
Thanks for uploading this video, I'm doing a Pacific Studies elective paper within my History and Politics BA. Saves me having to go and borrow the tape recording at the university library.
