On June 16, 1971, a radical group of Pasifika and Māori men and women confronted state-sanctioned racism to form the Polynesian Panther Party. Like their seafaring ancestors before them, the Polynesian Panthers guided their people to a new horizon - but instead of stormy seas, they navigated a red-blooded nation raging with rugby, racism and beer.
