Te Onetū – Koroneihana 2025

07 Nov 2025

Ka hiiri ki runga he toi atua ko Matariki, ka hiiri ki raro he toi tangata, ko Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po.

He hui nui taioreore ka pao te reka, he hui rangatira e tapa nei i te uri mātāmua o ngā waka katoa, i a Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po hei Kuini. Ko te tūranga tēnei i nōhia e tana Pāpā, e Kiingi Tuheitia, otirā e tōna kuia, Te Arikinui Te Atairangikaahu i ō rāua nā wā.

He Ariki reo Māori, he Ariki mau moko, he Ariki haka, he toihau. Nā Te Arikinui te pae tawhiti i whakatata, e wheriko ake ai pea tātou ki te Hawaiki hou i moemoeātia e ngā mātua tīpuna. Ko ia te manawa ora o te kotahitanga i wawatatia ai e tōna Pāpā, ā, ka mau tonu tēnei haere nei te wā.

He pānui tēnei e kapi ana i te haerenga a te kaupapa o Te Kōhanga Reo ki roto o te rohe o Tainui, ki te whakanui i te Koroneihana tuatahi o tō tātou Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po.

Ki konei pānuitia ai ngā kōrero mō ngā taonga i kohaina ki Te Arikinui, te tū ā ngā Kōhanga Reo o te motu ki mua i te aroaro o te Whare Kāhui Ariki me ngā whakarāpopototanga mō te wairua i rangona ki runga o Tūrangawaewae.

E te iwi, mātakitaki mai rā, whakarongo mai rā!

As Matariki rises in the sky, so too does our Queen here on earth Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po.

An auspicious gathering of the highest order, to mark the coming of age of Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po as anointed by the motu. A position that was held by her late father Kiingi Tuheitia, and by her late grandmother, Te Arikinui Te Atairangikaahu.

A native speaker of te reo māori, a stalwart of māori moko, a master of māori performance, a monarch of the highest order. She brings reality to our hopes and dreams, the epitome of our collective aspirations for the future as prophesied by our ancestors. She is the life pulse of Kotahitanga that her father promoted, that will endure the test of time.

This pānui covers the journey of Te Kaupapa o Te Kōhanga Reo into the Tainui region, to celebrate the first Coronation of our Māori Queen Te Arikinui Nga wai hono i te po.

Here you will find explanations of the taonga that were gifted by the Kōhanga Reo to Te Arikinui. You will also view the performance by the Kōhanga Reo o te motu before the Whare Kāhui Ariki, and a synopsis of the spirit that pervaded Tūrangawaewae. 

Ka hiiri ki runga he toi atua ko Matariki, ka hiiri ki raro he toi tangata, ko Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po.
