An estimated 10 thousand people have marched through Rotorua today as part of Hīkoi mō te Tiriti, said a police spokesperson.
"Due to the size of the group, Fenton Street was blocked temporarily as the hīkoi went through.
"It is anticipated that the main hīkoi will travel via Taupō to Hastings today, where participants will stay overnight."
Meanwhile, in Gisborne, a smaller hīkoi of around 80 people left Te Poho-O-Rāwiri Marae this morning heading south, accompanied by several vehicles.
This second group is travelling through Nūhaka and Wairoa, before connecting with the main hīkoi in Hastings this evening.
"There have been no issues reported at any of these locations."

I was driving through Maungatapu, (Tauranga) yesterday and heaps of gang members on bikes were riding through red lights and the traffic had to stop for them. Why are these guys allowed to break the law and yet if I had done that I would have been fined.

Stand Up For Your Rights

@ Saul & Angles, The Maori people are standing up for their rights and are the indigenous people of Aotearoa NZ as recognised by the united nations.
We do not need a referendum and we are of a country of many other races of people. We are getting on and living together very well, We are the envy of the world in many countries, we are not broken and don't need fixing.
What rights do you want to take away from the Maori and the treaty?
You have already stolen most of their land/country study your history and is this wrongdoing ok? Used the Maori people to fight your wars.
