Yesterday was the 7th and final day of Hīkoi Mō te Tiriti, the week-long Hīkoi in opposition to the treaty principles bill introduced by ACT, and other government policies impacting Māori.

It is estimated that more than 50,000 people from across the mōtu gathered outside parliament in Wellington yesterday, after a week of marching from the northern and southernmost points of Aotearoa, making this one of the largest protests for Māori and indigenous rights in history.

For their weekly catchup, Oto spoke to Green Party’s Ricardo Menendez-March to discuss the conclusion of the hīkoi and the turnout at parliament yesterday. 

They also discussed a new proposal by Conservation Minister - Tama Potaka, to introduce fees to access conservation land.

Oto spoke to Professor of Māori studies at the University of Auckland - Margaret Mutu of Ngāti Kahu, Te Rarawa and Ngāti Whātua descent, to discuss the treaty principles bill and why it generated such a strong reaction from those in attendance at the Hīkoi.

Margaret is an expert on Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and says that ACT’s treaty principles bill would reinterpret Te Tiriti in a way that would undermine the rights of Māori and tangata whenua.

Jonny and Paddy Free chat about the production and instrumentation used on the new album from Moana and The Tribe called ONO.

Jonny chats to Green Party MP Steve Abel about the Toitu Te Tīriti Hīkoi that reached Pārameti yesterday and the constitutional changes posed by the Treaty Amendment Bill.
