"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.
