"50 years ago we were looked down on" - Poly Panthers on their NZer of the Year nomination

Description:
During the 1970s they were arrested for protesting the ill-treatment of Māori and Pacific people, and often vilified for speaking out about their community issues. But today, the Polynesian Panthers are celebrated as an important part of Aotearoa's history. This month the group were named as nominees for the New Zealander of the Year Awards. Photo: The Guardian
