There's been a strong show of support for the South island hīkoi as it leaves Kaikōura for Picton, with participants due to unite with those already preparing to march on Parliament tomorrow.
Scores of people lined the entrance to the town, some with tino Rangatira flags and making clear their opposition to the Treaty Principles Bill.
Meanwhile, the Māori Queen, Nga wai hono i te po, will join the national hīkoi to Parliament on Tuesday, saying she will not accept a process which undermines Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Thousands of supporters of the hīkoi are having a rest day on Monday before heading to Wellington and Parliament on Tuesday.
