Ngā Tamatoa

Ngā Tamatoa is a Māori activist group formed in the early 1970s in New Zealand, dedicated to advocating for Māori rights, language, and culture. They aimed to address social injustices, land issues, and political inequality faced by Māori people. The group gained national attention through protests, including a notable occupation of the New Zealand Parliament in 1972. Their efforts helped motivate significant Māori political and cultural movements, contributing to the recognition and revitalization of Māori identity, language, and sovereignty within New Zealand society.
