Eru Kapa-Kingi has become the most recognised face of a movement against the government’s policy direction for Māori
Māori activist Eru Kapa-Kingi may have just led a historic march on Indigenous rights in New Zealand but he is reluctant to take credit for it.
“We just opened the door, and [thousands] stepped through,” Kapa-Kingi tells the Guardian from his Auckland home, two weeks after a rally he helped mobilise became the largest protest in support of Māori rights and one of the biggest demonstrations in New Zealand’s history.
