Kōrero: Parades and protest marches

Foreshore and seabed hīkoi

Foreshore and seabed hīkoi

Māori activists organised a hīkoi (march) in 2004 to protest against legislation that placed the seabed and foreshore in public ownership, overriding a Court of Appeal decision that the Māori Land Court could consider tribal claims to these littoral zones. Māori anger culminated in the forming of the Māori Party (Te Pāti Māori). Dr Pita Sharples, shown here leading the hīkoi, became an MP and co-leader of the party.
