Hīkoi mō te Tiriti

The Hīkoi mō te Tiriti protests occurred from November 10 to 19, 2024, against the Treaty Principles Bill, which would redefine the principles of the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi. The bill, introduced by the right-wing coalition government, aimed to clarify the constitutional position of Māori, but opponents argued it would erode Māori rights and was presented without sufficient consultation. The protests, which included a 40,000-strong march, were met with speeches by politicians and Māori leaders, and were seen as a response to the government's controversial policy towards Māori.learn more on wikipedia
