Episode Details

Two years after stepping into leadership following her father’s passing, Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po celebrates her milestone with a powerful week of ceremonies, performances, and global recognition. The festivities begin with a Sunday run honoring her late father, then unfold through poignant remembrance, school kapa haka showcases, and the gathering of iwi mourners. International indigenous leaders and politicians join for Friday’s events, culminating in Saturday’s Te Rā Koroneihana — where she delivers her vital annual message. Amid grief, she’s also driven bold economic change: launching the Ōhanga ki te Ao summit, securing a $100 million Kotahitanga Fund for housing and infrastructure, and forging global partnerships like the Dubai kiwifruit deal to boost Māori enterprise.
