Kiingitanga joins protest against Treaty Principles Bill

Te Arikinui Kuini Ngawai hono i te po will join the thousands expected to march on Parliament against Associate Justice Minister David Seymour’s Treaty Principles Bill.

Announce on the Kiingitanga social media, Kuini Ngawai will wear the kākahu Te Kahu o te Raukura, symbolizing peace, dignity, and compassion.

Kiingitanga chief of staff Ngira SImmonds says Te Kiingitanga stands ready to support the nation in a way that uplifts Kotahitanga and mana motuhake.

He says the day for constitutional reform will come, but it must be done in good faith and following tikanga and in full acknowledgement of the foundations of our nation bound together through Te Tiriti o Waitangi as Tangata Whenua and Tangata Tiriti.

Te Arikinui is urging all New Zealanders to embrace our shared identity and collective strengths to move forward together.
