In November 2024, New Zealand’s Parliament became the stage for a historic act of defiance when Te Pāti Māori MPs performed a haka during the first reading of the Treaty Principles Bill.

Both perspectives converge on a central question: Should Te Pāti Māori reject parliamentary engagement to prioritise Indigenous sovereignty and alternative governance?
