Description

These images were taken for the Manawatu Evening Standard, on October 8th, 1975, but were not published. They depict marchers heading south to Shannon from Palmerston North.

The article published in the Evening Standard by one of its reporters is reproduced below:

“The Maori land marchers left Palmerston North this morning for Shannon heartened by a letter from the Prime Minister.

Without giving guarantees, Mr. Rowling said he had invited all Labour M.P.s to welcome the marchers at Parliament. And most of them are expected to attend.

The marchers almost ran out of town this morning and made rapid progress to their first rest site.

They were joined by 15 pupils of the Aokautere School who wished to interview them on their personal reasons for marching.

The school’s headmaster, Mr. B. Mills, arranged the meeting as part of a school project for the primary school children.

And when the marchers moved on, the children went with them, armed with tape recorders and pencils.

There was no evidence of the masses of east coast Maoris who were expected to join the march at Palmerston North. In fact, the numbers were down.”
