Thousands in New Zealand’s capital for Maori protest against contentious bill

Thousands of people are gathering to take the final steps in a march on New Zealand's parliament to demonstrate against a controversial bill seeking to overhaul the country's founding document between British colonisers and M?ori people.
 
Hotels are sold out in the capital Wellington - up to 30,000 people are expected to attend Tuesday's rally outside parliament.
 
The demonstration marks the end of a nine-day h?koi, or peaceful protest, that's been making its way through the country.
 
The h?koi has brought together M?ori activists and their supporters who oppose the bill introduced by a junior member of the governing coalition.
