#treaty-of-waitangi

It’s amazing here, I love it, I’m just so happy... Look how many [young Maori people] are here holding their flags that’s something my mum’s generation would never have done.

The hikoi has reached parliament, filling the grounds and swelling out into the surrounding roads and streets. It is shoulder to shoulder, with people and flags stretching as far as the eye can see... The atmosphere is jovial and energised, as waves of groups start waiata (song) and haka.
