Te Pāti Māori has issued a Declaration of Political Independence, Te Ngākau o Te Iwi Māori, beginning the process to establish its own Māori Parliament.
The announcement was made as thousands of people across the country joined a hīkoi for a National Māori Action Day to coincide with the Budget announcements.
"Enough is enough," Te Pāti Māori said in a statement.
"No longer can we allow this very house to dictate our rangatiratanga," a spokesperson said.
Earlier this week Te Pāti Māori co-leader Rawiri Waititi called the Coalition a "Pākehā Government".
Te Pāti Māori said its own parliament will be:
- Anchored in tikanga and kawa
- Focussed entirely on mokopuna livelihood
- Established as part of transforming Aotearoa into a nation which respects the tino rangatiratanga of tangata whenua, and creates a safe home for all peoples.
"The wairua and ahua among our own was magic. Seeing Tangata Tiriti and Tangata Whenua as one, which is the true intent of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, is exactly what scares the bejesus out of this Government," a Te Pāti Māori spokesperson said.
"We will no longer let decisions made by this house determine our oranga. The oranga of our people, our mokopuna the land and te iwi Māori katoa.
"We now begin the process of establishing our own Parliament. Our people will design what this looks like for us, nobody else."
