Description:

? 147th GIRMIT REMEMBRANCE – Canterbury Community ?

From India to Fiji to Aotearoa – our stories continue.

? What is Girmit?

“Girmit” comes from the word “Agreement” - the contract that bound over 60,000 Indian labourers who were brought to Fiji between 1879 and 1916 to work on sugar plantations under British colonial rule. Despite hardship and false promises, these Girmitiyas persevered, built communities, and their descendants carried that resilient spirit across the Pacific to Aotearoa.

Join us as we honour their legacy with an evening of stories, culture and community.
