Mapuna takes a look back at this year's Waitangi Day commemorations as tens of thousands of people packed into the treaty grounds. Julian Wilcox and the rest of the RNZ team were there every step of the way. Our Waitangi Day guests included the Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, Maori Crown Relations Minister Tama Potaka, Labour MP Peeni Henare, New Zealand First MP Shane Jones and Pita Tipene from the Waitangi National Trust.
