@nytimes: The Maori of New Zealand named a new monarch on Thursday, selecting a 27-year-old queen who takes the throne as some of the country’s pro-Maori policies are being pared back. Nga Wai Hono i te Po succeeds her father, Kiingi Tuheitia, who died last week after 18 years as king.
So sad to have to have the funeral as you become queen you can see her grief 🥺 amazing culture and long live the queen ❤️

Thank you for sharing with the world. Maori is such a stunning beautiful culture that is being under minded and underrated by our current government. Long live Maori and all it stands for

One of my favorite things about visiting NZ was the Māori people & how immersed their culture was there. I hope that doesn’t change

I am always curious of the Maori culture. And my appetite for knowledge has grown as I get to see a glimpse of it in person while living here in Aotearoa. I do hope to be educated more on this.

Honestly being apart of this and seeing the crowning of kuini nga wai hono i te pō is such a blessing to be apart of even doing kapahaka for kingii tuheitia one last time was a once in a life time
