Thousands marched in New Zealand on Friday, protesting a controversial bill that seeks to reinterpret the Treaty of Waitangi. The bill, which passed its first reading, has sparked nationwide rallies and a hikoi (march) to the capital.

New Zealand's parliament was suspended and two lawmakers were ejected during a vote on a controversial proposed law redefining the country’s founding agreement between Indigenous Māori and the British Crown.

New Zealand MP Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke is once again in the news after she ripped up the indigenous treaty bill in the Parliament.
