CELEBRATING 150 YEARS
"Let us have a king, for with a king
there will be peace among us.
"

The history of the Kiingitanga (the Maori King Movement) spans over 150 years.

It has survived ridicule, indifference, all-out war and
exile to become a major voice for the Maori people in
New Zealand.

The purpose of this website is to give you a brief introduction to the Kiingitanga.

It will provide an insight into why early Maori leaders thought a King was needed; it will also give you some understanding of the duties of the Maori King and why the Kiingitanga is more relevant today than ever.
