Raglan kuia and activist Tuaiwa Rickard (Ngāti Koata, Ngāti Toa, Tainui and Taranaki), known in public life as Eva Rickard (in headscarf), Titewhai Harawira (Ngāpuhi) and other prominent Māori lead a protest march on Waitangi Day 1984. They are walking from the marae at Te Tii (in the background) across a narrow bridge to the Treaty Grounds. By this time Waitangi Day protests had grown so large and intense that a heavy presence by police and Māori wardens was required to prevent disruption of the official celebrations.
