Marchers in Auckland
PA Auckland The kotahitanga hikoi (peace march) to Waitangi is expected to gather momentum today as it moves through central Auckland. Several thousand people are expected to join the core group of Kotahitanga when it gathers at Auckland Domain at 11 a.m. The plan is to walk to the top of Queen Street and into Victoria Park. The Tainui people will continue northward, but other groups may spend the night at Bastion Point. A special meeting of kotahitanga at Tuakau yegter-
day morning before the hikoi set off for Te Puea marae, Mangere, discussed the news media. Three journalists were asked on Sunday to leave the hikoi. A statement from Mrs Eva Rickard said that all news media representatives were welcome to accompany the hikoi, except during nightly meetings. Two of the expelled jour-, nalists will rejoin the hikoi today at the invitation of, and under the protection of, the Tainui people. Elders of Tainui yesterday apologised for actions of which they said they had had no knowledge.
