A new queen was crowned as the eighth Māori monarch in New Zealand as her father, Kiingi Tuheitia Pōtatau Te Wherowhero VII, was laid to rest. 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. She is only the second Māori queen, the first being her grandmother, Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu. Ngā Wai hono i te pō is the youngest child of King Tuheitia, who died last Friday at the age of 69.
