On Maori language week we explored the kings and queens of our maori culture.The Maori King, Kingi Tuheitia has sadly passed, which means the title and honor of being the king or queen has to be passed on, it was passed on to his daughter who is now known as Kuini Nga Wai Hono I te Po. Kingi Tuheitia was going to university, however, he found work closer to home he was later a concrete and logging truck driver who became known for his willingness to pick up hitchhikers. As well as doing the army and meatworking.
