Hundreds of people are walking from Petone to Wellington train station this morning as part of the H\u012bkoi m\u014d te Tiriti.<\/p>\n
The crowd is being led by kair\u0101kau – men with r\u0101kau – and is making its way along Petone esplanade toward State Highway 2. There have been karakia, waiata and haka ringing out. An RNZ reporter says it’s a positive vibe, and marshalls are doing their best to keep people to footpaths. Participants are flying hundreds of tino rangatiratanga flags, as cars supporting the h\u012bkoi drive slowly alongside<\/p>\n
M\u0101ori Queen Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po will join the h\u012bkoi’s final stage to Parliament, where tens of thousands are expected to congregate.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is considering his options to engage with the h\u012bkoi when it arrives at Parliament. A spokesperson said a small delegation of National MPs will be available to meet the h\u012bkoi.<\/p>\n
The Treaty Principles Bill architect, ACT leader David Seymour, says he supports the right to protest, but thinks participants are misguided and have a range of different grievances.<\/p>\n
