The national Māori flag (also known as the tino rangatiratanga flag), right, flies beside the New Zealand flag at Parliament on Waitangi Day 2010. The flag had originally won a 1989 design competition organised by protest group Te Kawariki. In the early 2000s Māori sovereignty group Te Ata Tino Toa attempted to have it flown from the Auckland Harbour Bridge – a request that was refused by the government. Eventually, after a public consultation process among Māori, the tino rangatiratanga flag was adopted as a national Māori flag. From 2010 it flew on the harbour bridge, at Parliament and in other public venues.
