On this day, 25 May 1978, police in Aotearoa/New Zealand attacked a land occupation by Maori people at Bastion Point, near Auckland, which was demanding the return of the stolen land. The Ōrākei Māori Action Committee had been occupying the land for 506 days before police moved in to evict them, arresting 222 people and demolishing buildings. However, protests continued, and in 1988 the government agreed to return the land to the Ngāti Whātua people. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1131525080365974/?type=3
