What is the Kīngitanga?
In 1858, the Kīngitanga or Māori King Movement was established by the Māori tribes across the motu (land). Its purpose was to put an end to Māori land alienation, to halt inter-tribal warfare and to preserve Mana Māori Motuhake, in effect to unite the people. In 2008 - 2009 the Kīngitanga celebrated its 150th anniversary.
Pōtatau Te Wherowhero of Waikato-Tainui was installed as the first Māori King in 1858.
In 1860, Kīngi Pōtatau was succeeded by his son Tāwhiao, also known as Matutaera.
In 1894 following the death of Kīngi Tāwhiao, his son Mahuta was appointed the third Māori King.
In 1912 Te Rata was invested with the Kingship, followed by his son Koroki who became the fifth Māori King in 1933.
Upon the death of Kīngi Koroki in 1966, the King Movement saw the coronation of the first Māori Queen, Te Arikinui Dame Te Atairangikaahu.
Ascending to the throne in 2006, the current reigning monarch of the Kīngitanga is Kīngi Tūheitia. |
