Hikoi

A hikoi is a traditional Māori protest or march in New Zealand, where people walk together over a distance to raise awareness or advocate for specific issues. Historically, hikoi have been used to express concerns about land rights, environmental protection, or social justice. Participants often gather in solidarity, emphasizing cultural identity and collective voice. These marches can vary in size, from small groups to thousands, and serve as a powerful form of peaceful activism rooted in Māori cultural practices.
