For this task we learnt about a well known person in the Maori culture, which is ‘Kingi Tūheitia’, Kingi Tūheitia was known as the Maori king, but also known as a person who brings unity towards his Maori people and people around the whole of New Zealand. Kingi Tuheitia is the definition of Unity as he showed the most respect to everyone and he gave peace to the land by telling us that every can get and have a second chance. Kingi Tuheitia was known for being the king of the Maori, but the people know that he is known for bring people together as one. Kingi Tuheitia was a very humble person and very mindful. When Kingi Tūheitia passed away, the Maori people crowned the new queen Kuini Nga Wai Hono i te Po. I think she will carry her fathers legacy by welcoming everyone, not matter their race, and religion, and by being humble. She also has a lot to bring to the table as she’s young, and her education is exceptional. She has many degrees which will be a big help for her collaborating with others.
I enjoyed this task because I learnt many things about Kingi Tuheitia and his daughter Nga Wai Hono i te Po. In my opioion, I think Nga Wai Hono i te Po will carry on her father’s legacy.
