New Zealand Parliament Suspended as Maori Lawmakers Perform Haka | Vantage with Palki Sharma

In New Zealand, MPs disrupted the parliament with haka to protest the indigenous treaty bill. The bill aims to reinterpret the country's founding treaty with its indigenous people. The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 by Maori chiefs and the British Crown. It is considered New Zealand's founding document. But the bill's proponents argue that the treaty discriminates against non-indigenous citizens.
