Treaty of Waitangi, Britanya Kraliyeti ve 500’den fazla Māori şefi tarafından 1840 yılında imzalandı ve bir ulus devleti kurmayı amaçladı. Anlaşma, toprak ve kültürel haklar ile Māori’nin egemen otoritelerle ilişkilerini kapsıyor. Yasal bir belge olmamasına rağmen bazı prensipler geliştirilmiş ve yasal düzenlemelere dahil edilmiştir.

This content discusses the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand’s founding document that upholds Māori rights, and a controversial bill that seeks to alter its interpretation. The bill has prompted widespread criticism and sparked protests, with up to 50,000 demonstrators expected to march to Parliament opposing it. The bill aims to reinterpret the treaty in a way that critics argue would strip away Māori rights and increase anti-Māori rhetoric. The bill is likely to fail due to lack of support in Parliament, but its symbolic attempt to undermine Māori rights has faced fierce opposition. The protests include a haka performance, and prominent figures like the Māori Queen are expected to participate. He has shared his experience and photos from the event. Daniel highlights the importance of upholding the Treaty of Waitangi and Māori rights. He emphasizes the significance of the hīkoi as a form of protest and activism, showcasing the unity and strength of the Māori community in fighting for their rights and recognition. Daniel’s presence at the event reflects the widespread support and solidarity for the cause among the participants of the hīkoi. New Zealanders are protesting against a controversial Māori treaty bill, with the largest protest ever seen in Aotearoa New Zealand. The protest has been peaceful and united, with singing, dancing, hakas, and waiatas. The lead organizer, Eru Kapa-Kingi, expressed pride in the protest and emphasized the importance of continuing the movement for change. Act leader David Seymour made a brief appearance but was met with a resounding chant of “kill the bill” from the crowd. Organizers are reminding participants to stay hydrated and nourished in the muggy weather.

The hīkoi, or protest march, is in response to a controversial bill that seeks to change the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand, the Treaty of Waitangi.

A petition against the Treaty Principles Bill has received 220,000 signatures, New Zealand’s The Press reports.

What is the Treaty of Waitangi?

The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 by the British Crown and more than 500 Māori chiefs to establish a nation state. The treaty covers issues including land and cultural rights and Māori relations with ruling authorities. While not a legal document, some treaty principles have been developed and included in legislation.

There is an English and a Māori version of the treaty. These documents contain fundamental differences that have long plagued the application of the treaty and how it is interpreted. To help address this, over the past 50 years, lawmakers, courts and the Waitangi Tribunal – an institution that investigates breaches of the treaty – have looked to the wider intention, or spirit, of the treaty, in order to define its principles. The treaty principles are not set in stone and are flexible.

The principles can act as a mechanism to help the government fulfil its obligations to Māori under the treaty, says Carwyn Jones, a lead academic in Māori law at Te Wānanga o Raukawa, an Indigenous tertiary education provider.

The principles were used in efforts to revitalise the Māori language, including making it an official language, and were used to establish a Māori Health Authority to reverse poor health outcomes for Māori, which the coalition government dismantled this year, he says.

“If those principles are redefined – and significantly weakened – [there] will be fewer legal mechanisms for Māori to have their rights recognised,” Jones says, adding that that will lead to social disruption.

Organisers are announcing the winding up of the hīkoi and asking people to slowly and safely start leaving the grounds. People have been invited back to Waitangi Park for music. The crowd is leaving as music rings out across the area.

Is the bill likely to pass?

Eva Corlett

Act negotiated the inclusion of the bill into its coalition agreement with the major centre-right National Party, however, National committed only to supporting it through its first reading and the select committee process.

The third coalition partner, the populist New Zealand First party, has also ruled out supporting it beyond these stages.

In a joint statement on Thursday, the Labour, Green and Te Pāti Māori (the Māori Party) opposition parties, called on prime minister Christopher Luxon to block what they called a “divisive” bill that was “pandering to a dangerous, reactionary fringe”.

Seymour has called on his coalition colleagues to respect the democratic process and make up their minds once the public has had its say, but at this stage, the bill will probably be voted down.

Despite that, many are angered over how the bill has reignited debate over the treaty, Jones says, adding that he believes it has stirred up anti-Māori views and eroded the Māori/Crown relationship.

Here is a gallery of some of the best pictures so far:

A Guardian reader named Daniel is at the hīkoi. He writes:

The largest protest I have ever seen in Aotearoa New Zealand! It has been fantastic to see the unity of New Zealanders when one political party tries to sow division.

There has been singing, dancing, hakas, and waiatas! A great peaceful environment with people from all round the country.

I think this has really demonstrated to David Seymour that the people disagree with his bill and to Christopher Luxon that they are disappointed he let it get this far.

The lead organiser of the protest, Eru Kapa-Kingi told the crowd, “the Māori nation has been born today”.

He expressed his pride in the hīkoi and said it would not end today.

“It’s up to us whether this moment dissipates after today, or whether it lives forever.”

“Every single one of you who joined this march today, I hope you realise what you have committed to today. You have committed to a future where we revert back to the reality of our rangatira [chiefs].

“I hope you all realise in this moment committed to a journey of liberation, to a future where we are the captains of our own waka [canoe] where we shape our own destinies.”

More now on Seymour’s short-lived appearance before the enormous crowd a short while ago:

Act leader David Seymour, the architect of the Treaty Principles Bill, briefly appeared before the crowd surrounded by police. He lasted minutes before the crowd let out a roaring chant of “kill the bill”.

Organisers are reminding people to drink water and eat. It is overcast but muggy and people are struggling to move through the giant crowds. Some are offering free cookies and handing out sunblock.

David Seymour, whose minor libertarian Act party introduced the bill that the hīkoi is protesting against, appeared briefly outside parliament, where he was booed loudly by the crowd, the New Zealand Herald reports.

The crowd also chanted “Kill the bill”.

Te Pāti Māori (the Māori Party) co-leader Rawiri Waititi told Seymour “You’re goddamn right I told you not to come,” according to local media.

Wellingtonian Alice Soper tells the Guardian she has never seen a crowd this size at Parliament.

“We were stopped on Lambton Quay, the hīkoi couldn’t go any further, I have never in my life a march that big – I was born and raised [here] and I have never seen a march not be able to get on to parliament, that speaks for itself.”

Soper said while much of the protest was directed at the bill, it was also about the broad sweep of government policies that risk rolling back Māori rights, including disestablishing the Māori health authority.

“The current government has traded its relationship to Māori, in order to get access to power. We have seen so many attacks on Māori and its not just about Māori, its about all of us.”

Reportage from Eva Corlett earlier this year on the impact of proposed legislative changes on Aotearoa New Zealand’s Māori population…

Leading Māori figures from across Aotearoa New Zealand have sounded the alarm over the government’s changes to policies that affect Māori, after analysis by the Guardian highlighted the far-reaching scope of the proposals.

The policy shifts proposed by the rightwing coalition have been described by experts as “chilling” and “dangerous” and have created a “deeply fractured” relationship between Māori and the crown, or ruling authorities.
