The current Maori monarch, Kuini Nga Wai Hono i te Po, has been anointed as the eighth Maori monarch following the death of her father. She is the second woman to hold the position. A traditional ceremony took place, with a bible being placed on her head.

    1. He was a fantastic king with a wicked sense of humour, but also a very good man… with a real focus on bringing New Zealanders together.
    1. The best protest we can do right now is be Māori, be who we are, live our values, speak our reo, care for our mokopuna (young folk).
    1. You can feel that genuineness from within, she's incredibly likeable, very smart and would be a wonderful queen.

    3. The death of Kiingi Tuheitia is a moment of great sadness for followers of Te Kiingitanga, Maaoridom and the entire nation.
    1. We follow the tikanga of our ancestors who created the Kiingitanga to unify and uplift our people and we have chosen Nga Wai Hono i te Po as our new monarch.
