Lionel Terry notoriously murdered one of these people in 1905 as part of his crusade to remove them from his country. These people used a "credit-ticket" system by which their relatives would cover the poll tax charged for transporting them, a tax for which Helen Clark's government officially apologized in 2002. Many of these people have lived in Dunedin since that city's chamber of commerce recruited many of them to work during the Otago gold rush. Opposition to the increasing presence of these people was a major reason the (*) New Zealand First Party was founded. New Zealand began taking many of these people as refugees after violence against them in Indonesia in the 1960s; they now comprise the largest group of immigrants to New Zealand. For 10 points, identify these people, many of whose laborers were called coolies.
