This is in response to overlapping treaty redresses which have left some iwi battling against one another.
Before sunrise this morning, about 300 Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei iwi members departed Ōrākei Marae on a 7km hīkoi to the Auckland High Court.
Iwi members marched along Tamaki Drive along the Auckland waterfront, waving flags, chanting haka and singing waiata.
