Marchers set out on nine-day march to New Zealand's capital of Wellington in protest over legislation that would reinterpret a treaty at the heart of race relations in the Pacific country.

The Treaty of Waitangi was first signed in 1840 between the British Crown and more than 500 Maori chiefs, lays down how the two parties agreed to govern.

The bill would enshrine a narrower interpretation of the treaty in law.
