New Zealand MP, who shot to viral fame, performs Haka dance again to rip up controversial bill | WATCH

India TV News  

Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke, New Zealand’s youngest Member of Parliament, has yet again made headlines over a dramatic protest at the Parliament. The 22-year-old Te Pati Maori MP, who caught the attention of the media last year for the haka she performed in her first speech in parliament, brought oblivion to a session that the Members of Parliament were having on Thursday by ripping up a copy of the controversial Treaty Principles Bill and performing the traditional Maori war dance. The bill in question, introduced by the ACT New Zealand party, seeks to reinterpret the Treaty of Waitangi, signed in 1840 between the British Crown and Maori chiefs, which has long been a cornerstone of New Zealand’s relationship with its Indigenous people. Maipi-Clarke's protest adds to the growing tension surrounding the bill, which has sparked fierce debate about race relations and the treatment of Maori in New Zealand.
