NZ Land March
In Social Studies this week, we have been researching the New Zealand land march lead by Dame Whina Cooper. Below you will find a map that shows the routes that the hikoi took. They marched from Te Kao all the way to Wellington. During the hikoi, they covered a distance of 1,100km in 30 days. They carried a flag, and they never let it touch the ground. They protested and signed a petition to try and get their land back. As they travelled, many decided to join in. The hikoi started with just about 50 people and ended with 5000. 60,000 people signed the petition.
