More than 19,000 people have gathered as a sea of red, black and white flags makes its way along Wellington's waterfront and through the city.

We are livestreaming the hīkoi at Parliament at the top of this page. You can follow live updates from our blog below.

More than 19,000 people have marched into and across central Wellington as the Hīkoi mō te Tiriti heads to Parliament.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is considering how to address the hīkoi when it arrives at Parliament. A spokesperson said a small delegation of National MPs will be available to meet the hīkoi.

The Treaty Principles Bill architect, ACT leader David Seymour, says he supports the right to protest, but thinks participants are misguided and have a range of different grievances.
