The Vaka of Stories aims to bring our communities together in a safe space to share our Dawn Raids experiences. We understand that sharing this information will be difficult, and we want you to know that our team will be there to listen and support you as you share your story. This is a one-on-one talanoa session with you. You are most welcome to bring a support person or group.
If you want to change our future by sharing your story, we invite you and your family to come to our drop-in centre in Ōtautahi Christchurch where our team will be available to listen and support you as you share your truth.
