Foreshore and seabed hīkoi

A protester flies the tino rangatiratanga flag at Parliament during the New Zealand foreshore and seabed controversy. Note the presence of other flags, including the United Tribes flag.

In April 2004 a hīkoi began in Northland in protest against proposed legislation to vest ownership of New Zealand's foreshore and seabed in the Crown. The hīkoi arrived in Wellington on 5 May 2004, after picking up numerous supporters on the way south.
