Neuseeland: Neuer Maori-Monarch

Neuseeland hat eine neue Maori-Königin. Die indigene Bevölkerung in Aotearoa Neuseeland ernannte die 27 jährige Nga wai hono i te po mit aufwendiger Zeremonie zum neuen Monarchen.

Ihr Vater, Maori-König Tuheitia Pootatau Te Wherowhero VII war eine Woche zuvor gestorben. “Kuini” (Maori für “Queen”) Nga wai hono i te po ist nach ihrer 2006 gestorbenen Grossmutter die zweite Frau im neuseeländischen Royalistentum, die das leitende Amt besetzt.

Kuini Nga wai hono i te po studierte einen Bachelor of Arts an der University of Waikato, gefolgt von einem Masters Degree in der Tikanga Māori-Sprache.

Die Königs-Position ist eher ein symbolisches Amt, hat für Moari aber für ihre Identität eine hohe Bedeutung. Rund 900 000 Maori leben in Neuseeland (Gesamtbevölkerung 5.5 Mio). (NN-05-09-24)
