The Koroneihana, the second celebration of the coronation of Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po, happened over the weekend in Ngāruawāhia. The first two days were dedicated to ngā Kawe Mate o Tainui Waka and o te motu, mourning and honouring those who have died in the past year.
The theme of the Koroneihana was kotahitanga (unity), carried forward by the next generation, and many rangatahi came from around the motu for the celebrations.
They said that Te Arikinui was standing strong in who she was, showing young Māori the importance of embracing who they were and allowing them to see themselves in leadership.
"It's about having your head up high, knowing who you are, being strong in who you are, and presenting that to the world."
A Kiingitanga spokesperson paid tribute to rangatahi.
"Ko te rangatahi, ko rātou ngā rangatira o nāianei. Karekau ko rātou ko te rangatira āpōpō ko rātou te rangatira o nāianei."
"The youth are the leaders of today. They are not the leaders of tomorrow. They are the leaders of today."
