Description
This sequel to Dawn Raid follows Sofia Savea’s family, 50 years later, as Sofia's grandson becomes involved in the quest for a government apology.
INVERCARGILL, 2020
Wow, I thought I knew a bit about the dawn raids, but this is HUGE. It happened to my OWN family and I never knew! I had no idea that Granfia and her family had been dawn-raided. She was even a Polynesian Panther!
When COVID-19 lockdown hits Aotearoa in 2020, Jeremy and his whānau retreat to his grandparents’ quiet farm near Invercargill. And while spending more time with his grandmother, Jeremy discovers she has an intriguing past.
Fifty years after the dawn raids of the 1970s, Sofia Savea’s stories of activism and Polynesian Panther life blaze into reality for Jeremy and awaken a sense of purpose in him that leads to his own unexpected journey. Jeremy begins to see how much words and actions mean—not just to his gran—but to an entire generation who never stopped waiting to be heard ... and who deserve an apology.
