New Zealand Parliament was temporarily suspended on Nov. 14 after opposition lawmakers in the New Zealand Parliament performed the Haka in protest of a controversial bill. The bill aims to redefine the country's 1840 treaty with the indigenous Maori people. The protest started with Maori lawmaker Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clark, who ripped up a copy of the bill in half to represent the country "being split into two."
