Folk for Folk – Hīkoi Solidarity Fundraiser
November 10 @ 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$20
Folk for Folk is a Tangata Tiriti organised fundraiser in support of the Hīkoi mō Te Tiriti
Join us for an evening of heart-warming, foot-stamping, and spirit-lifting music from a special line-up of Tāmaki Makaurau folk artists. On the 10th of November, te Hīkoi mō Te Tiriti begins the journey from Te Tai Tokerau to Pōneke. The hikoi marches “to entrench the truth of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in the lives of te iwi Māori and Tangata Tiriti”.
The hīkoi speaks opposition to the “Treaty Principles” Bill as it distorts the true meaning of te Tiriti O Waitangi, failing to uphold the rights Māori were promised as part of it, and threatens to erase more than four decades of hard-won advances for Te Ao Māori. As Tangata Tiriti folk musicians, we are joining in solidarity and song with a collaborative fundraising concert, with all proceeds going to support the hīkoi.
