[1][2] The most famous hīkoi was the 1975 Māori Land March, on which supporters and protestors travelled the length of the North Island, from Te Hāpua to Parliament in Wellington, organised by Whina Cooper.
[4] Marchers travelled on foot through cities and towns and in motor vehicles in rural areas.
[6][better source needed] In November 2024, a hīkoi opposing the Treaty Principles Bill occurred.
An estimated 42,000 people took part in the hīkoi, taking nine days to reach the parliament grounds of Wellington, with some groups beginning in the Far North and Bluff.
[7] The Māori Queen Ngā Wai Hono i te Pō joined the protests in Wellington.
