At a meeting of the indigenous people Maori, three thousand people were expected to participate in the northern island of New Zealand. But on January 20, about ten thousand people arrived to discuss the policy of the Government of New Zealand, which risks nullifying a decade of progress in the field of Maori's rights and well -being.

Previously comparable mass assembly of Maori took place only at the Queen’s funeral, those Ataregikaahu in 2006. The current king Maori Tuheitia, who held the event, called on tribes from all over the country to gather in traditional places of meetings and discuss the innovations of the right coalition in the government. Meetings were organized in a format where tribes (IVI) gathered and discussed problematic issues. The audience during the meetings discussed such topics as the national unity and place of the Maorian version of the Waitanga agreement. The 1840 Weitanga agreement is one of the main constitutional documents of New Zealand, where the equality of citizens is indicated: OK and the right of Maori to self -government.

The lawyer of the rights of indigenous peoples Dale Takitima voiced warnings regarding the "illiterate in relation to contracts" of the government. Takitima accused the current coalition of promoting the views of “white superiority” based on the project of a memorandum with a detailed description of the proposed changes that leaked to social networks.

In December, thousands of people took to the streets of the cities of New Zealand in a protest against the policy of the new government. On November 24, the plans of the right -wing parties began to reduce the use of the language of the indigenous people of the country Maori in state organizations and abolish the health department of Maori.
