More than 17,000 people have marched into and across central Wellington as the Hīkoi mō te Tiriti heads to Parliament.
The crowd on Tuesday was led by kairākau - men with rākau - and is making its way along Petone esplanade toward State Highway 2. There have been karakia, waiata and haka ringing out. Māori Queen Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po will join the hīkoi's final stage to Parliament, where tens of thousands are expected to congregate.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is considering how to address the hīkoi when it arrives at Parliament. A spokesperson said a small delegation of National MPs will be available to meet the hīkoi.
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.
