Hundreds carried the Maori national flag."The protest was preceded by a nine-day march, or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hikoi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#hikoi</a>, that began in the country’s far north, with thousands joining rallies in towns and cities as marchers traveled south on foot and in cars to Wellington."Unity and solidarity was spoken about a lot in the rally. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HelmutModlik" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HelmutModlik</a>, a leader in the Ngati Toa tribe, told the crowd that it was too late to divide the country.“'To those who will divide us, whanau, it is too late. We are already one people,' Modlik said to cheers from those gathered on the lawns of Parliament. Booming Indigenous Maori '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/haka" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#haka</a>' chants rang out across New Zealand's capital on November 19, as thousands rallied against a conservative proposal accused of stoking racial divisions."Read more: <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/tens-thousands-rally-new-zealand-parliament-bill-maori-rights-rcna180737?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/tens-thousands-rally-new-zealand-parliament-bill-maori-rights-rcna180737?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Aotearoa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Aotearoa</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NewZealand</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/M%C4%81ori" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Māori</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Respect" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Respect</a>
