After setting off from the Far North last Monday, hīkoi mō Te Tiriti is now in the capital and heading towards Parliament.

Convoys travelled from Petone and Porirua early this morning to Waitangi Park, and now marchers are heading back towards Parliament.

TVNZ+ will have video from the event throughout the day, while 1News will have live updates here.

Many on the hīkoi, organised by Toitū te Tiriti, are opposed to the Treaty Principles Bill, which had its first reading last week.

Minister for Maori Development Tama Potaka met some of those gathered at Parliament this morning.
