The new Māori monarch: Kuini Nga wai hono i te Po | RNZ

[JamesFaction]

I have no Maori heritage. But I was born here. I'm a citizen of this country. The Maori story is part of my story. Maori culture is part of my culture. I am immensely proud of that. This was deeply, deeply moving. Arohanui ❤

It is truly awe inspiring and completely amazing that technology allows us to be witness to such a special ceremony. I can’t believe how lucky we are to be able to experience their culture and celebrate the life of their king! May the Queen have a blessed reign

[Rogsmith]

She is beautiful and will be a Great Queen I’m Happy for the Maori people that they have some one Special 🎉

What a beautiful and deeply moving ceremony. Im balinese live in Bali Indonesia, a place where lots of ritual and meaningfull traditional ceremonies held. But still watching this makes me goosebump. My respect for Maori people and God bless you all.

Truly a historic moment in the history of Tainui/Waikato that I will treasure forever.

This is a profound momentous occasion. It was the shots from the crowd that got me going. Seeing their emotional approval set me off as well. Ngāwai-hono- i-te pō is a fitting name for the next phase into our journey as te Māori. I feel confident that she will lead us well with our support.

Wow, beautiful ceremony; emotional, impactful, touching, intense. Thank you, Māori people, for sharing your cultural traditions with us. Sincere condolences for the loss of one great monarch and many blessings to the next distinguished leader as she begins her reign.

The perfect dignified answer to the attempted division and demeaning of a people by those whose motivations are unworthy of consideration. Kia Kaha Kuini

[KayleenCunningham-kr]

You are guna be the best kuini to your Grandmother she will be so so proud of you and your dad who has passed Aroha koe From the Whanau Upper Hutt ❤❤❤

[dimkovskigoce]

African nations need to cooperate more with New Zeland to successfully blend traditions with modern societies. It is possible and wonderfull to see it

[kdynpatrick]

She will rise just as her grandmother and will be a force to be reckoned with
Karanga Mai e Kuini karanga maiii ❤
