In the Maori language, it's called a hikoi, a community march.
New Zealand had one recently that went for nine days, starting at dawn at the tip of the north island and working its way down the country.
They came out on the streets, you know, when they went through small communities like Ohakuni, there's only a thousand people in the community.
700 people in that community marched to honour the treaty.
When they went to little community in Tararoa, I think there's 300, they all came out on their horses with their animals, their cows and their calves to actually honour the treaty.
They're small communities.
Then they went to big places like Rotorua and we never seen this kind of march before.
There was 15,000 people came out on that day, non Mori Mori, Pacific Island Indian, to support our founding document.
Collectively, it might have been the biggest demonstration in New Zealand's history, in protest at one of the biggest assaults on Mori rights since colonisation.
Annette Sykes, a Mori lawyer and activist, was one of the organisers.
There was, I think, between 70 to 80,000 that marched.
When we got to the capital.
