Māori Warriors Lead Thousands in March on New Zealand Parliament.

Thousands of protesters, including Māori warriors in traditional attire, marched on New Zealand's parliament in opposition to a draft law they believe would diminish indigenous rights. The protest, known as a hīkoi, started in the far north and ended in Wellington, with estimates of 20,000 to 30,000 participants. The proposed legislation by the ACT Party aims to define the Treaty of Waitangi principles, sparking racial tensions and concerns about equality and power distribution. Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, it has become a focal point for discontent with government policies perceived as anti-Māori. [Extracted from the article]
