Thousands Rally in New Zealand for Māori Rights Amid Controversial Bill

Tens of thousands of people marched to New Zealand's parliament in Wellington to protest the Treaty Principles Bill, which critics argue undermines Māori rights. The hīkoi, a traditional Māori walk, spanned nine days and culminated in a large demonstration against the bill, which seeks to redefine the Treaty of Waitangi's principles. Although the bill is unlikely to pass due to widespread political opposition, it has sparked significant debate on Indigenous rights under New Zealand's current right-wing government.
