E haere ana a Moko rāua tahi ko koro ki te hīkoi ki Pāremata. Koa katoa a Moko i te mea i te mea koinei tana hīkoi tuatahi. Engari anō a koro hoki ana ōna mahara ki ērā atu tohe me ngā whakatipuranga i hīkoi mō te tika. Whakapiripiri mai ana te huinga tāngaata, te huinga hapori, ko rātou katoa e haere tahi ana, kua herea kia kotahi mō tētahi ao e ora ai te katoa.
Inspired by the hīkoi in response to the Treaty Principles Bill, this story draws on the words of resilience and resistance that have inspired generations of Māori in the determination for our land, language and right to live as Māori and shape our own destiny.
In the story, a koro and his moko join the hīkoi to parliament and remember past actions and activists who marched for justice. In the march, there are many figures from many communities and many walks of life, but they all walk in the same direction, unified in a vision of the future in which people thrive.
The words of the story inspire us to be resilient and remind us that we are not alone, and that in coming together we are powerful.
