Earlier this year the king of Aotearoa, Kingi Tuheitia passed away, because of this, his youngest daughter Kuini Nga Wai Hono I te Po was given the role of the queen of Aotearoa. Our task was to create a DLO about the passing of Kingi Tuheitia and how he brought unity during his reign as the Maori King. The Kingi Tuheitia movement was to unite and bring people together. A few reasons why he did this was to preserve the Māori culture and language, and to bring peace, friendship, and respect between iwi’s and tribes in the Māori culture. We think that Kuini Nga Wai Hono i te po will carry on her father’s legacy by continuing to preserve the Māori culture and language, and to spread the word of unity around the world. We think Kuini Nga Wai Hono i te po will continue to acknowledge success and the Cook Island legacy of building a marae on Aitutaki, what her father Kingi Tuheitia had wanted.
I found this activity interesting because I learnt how Kingi Tuheitia brought unity to our country
