A hīkoi against the Treaty Principles Bill will set out for Porirua from Palmerston North on Sunday, on its way to Parliament.

The hīkoi, which began on 11 November at Cape Reinga, has seen thousands of people join on foot, in vehicles and on horseback.

It will reach Parliament on Tuesday and authorities are warning locals to expect traffic congestion and delays to their journeys as it moves through Wellington.
