The youngest child of Kīngi Tūheitia – Ngā Wai hono i te pō – has been anointed the new leader of the Kīngitanga, taking over a legacy of her loved father and her much loved grandmother Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu, the sixth and seventh Māori monarchs.
As the only daughter and youngest child of Kīngi Tūheitia Pōtatau Te Wherowhero VII, she carries her birthright in the Kīngitanga and becomes the eighth monarch, continuing the direct line to the first Māori King.
The 27-year-old University of Waikato graduate has been long groomed to take over from her father and could have a long reign.
Māori leaders and politicians agree this appointment is significant for the Kīngitanga and her influence across Aotearoa, New Zealand immense for many years to come.
