Te Hiwi Preston says about 400 people marched to show Māori oppose Government’s attacks on Māori initiatives, health, wellbeing and the status of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
“It’s to demonstrate the beginning of a unified Aotearoa in response to the Government’s assault on tangata whenua and Te Tiriti o Waitangi, demonstrating the might of tangata whenua and tangata tiriti working together and the revolution of the Gen T generation, so generation te Tiriti,” he says.
Mr Preston says many pākeha supported today’s action as the Government’s policies also attack the vulnerable and the poor.
