Thousands take part in Māori protests in New Zealand's capital

More than 40,000 people have protested outside New Zealand’s parliament against a proposed bill seeking to reinterpret the country's founding document between British colonisers and Māori people.

Tuesday's demonstration marked the end of a nine-day hīkoi, or peaceful protest, that had made its way through the country.

The hīkoi swelled to one of the biggest in the country's history, with many participants draped in colours of the Māori flag, as they marched through the capital Wellington.
