BREAKING! New Zealand Crowns New Māori Queen
A new queen has been crowned as the eighth Māori monarch in New Zealand, marking a significant moment in the country’s indigenous history.
Twenty-seven-year-old Ngā Wai hono i te pō was chosen as Kuini by a council of New Zealand’s indigenous Māori chiefs during an elaborate ceremony in the country’s North Island.
This momentous occasion is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Mori people. Ngā Wai Hono i Te Pō is the youngest child of King Tuheitia Pōtatau Te Wherowhero VII, who passed away last Friday at the age of 69.

She is only the second Māori queen, following in the footsteps of her grandmother, Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu.
This royal lineage is a source of pride for the Māori people, and Ngā Wai hono i te pō’s ascension to the throne is a celebration of their history and traditions.
The new queen was announced at a gathering at Tûrangawaewae Marae, the seat of the Kiingitanga or Māori king movement.
Sitting on a carved wooden throne, Ngā Wai hono i te pō was surrounded by her people as prayers and chants were performed. A flotilla of war canoes sat ready to take the king’s coffin to his final resting place on Mount Taupiri, a sacred site for the Māori people.
