What is the hikoi about

The hikoi is a traditional Māori walk or march, often used for protest or to raise awareness of a particular issue. The word 'hikoi' comes from the Māori language and means 'to walk together'.
Hikois have been used throughout New Zealand's history to protest against government policies, land grabs, and other injustices. Some of the most famous hikoi include the 1975 Māori Land March, which saw thousands of Māori march from the far north of the country to Parliament in Wellington, and the 1984 Bastion Point hikoi, which protested against the government's plans to sell off land at Bastion Point.
Today, hikoi are still used to raise awareness of important issues facing Māori, such as the Treaty of Waitangi, land rights, and environmental protection. They are also used to celebrate Māori culture and identity.

The hikoi is a powerful symbol of Māori resilience and determination. It is a way for Māori to come together and show their strength and unity. Hikois have played a vital role in New Zealand's history, and they continue to be an important part of Māori culture today.
