OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS FOR TE WHAKAWAHINGA AND
TANGIHANGA AT TUURANGAWAEWAE MARAE
5th SEPTEMBER 2024

The Kiingitanga has confirmed the official proceedings for Te Whakawahinga (raising up) ceremony for the successor and the funeral service of Kiingi Tuheitia Pootatau Te Wherowhero VII, on Thursday 5th September 2024.

Proceedings will begin at Turangawaewae Marae at 10.00am when Tekau-maa-rua (the Kiingitanga advisory council) usher the new Maaori monarch to the throne. This will be followed by the Karakia Whakawahinga.

Tumuaki Hone Taamihana will then place a bible on the head of the Monarch, using the same bible that Tumuaki Wiremu Taamihana used to raise up the first Maaori King Pootatau Te
Wherowhero in 1858.

Archbishop Don Tamihere will say a Karakia to bless the new Monarch with sacred oils. Te Whakawahinga will be followed by the funeral service for Kiingi Tuheitia after which he will be taken from Turangawaewae Marae to the banks of the tupuna awa, Waikato River, where he will be guided by a guard of honour of Ngaati Maahanga and the New Zealand
Defence Force.

A fleet of four waka – Taatahi Ora, Waikura, Taakitumu and Te Tiimatanga – will take Kiingi Tuheitia to his final resting place of Taupiri Maunga. He will be met there by members of the Turangawaewae and Taniwharau rugby league clubs, and rope handlers from Raungaiti Rugby Club who will carry Kiingi Tuheita to the summit of Taupiri Maunga.

Following the interment, the funeral procession will return to Turangawaewae Marae where Tekau-maa-rua will lead Whare Ariki (Members of the Royal House) onto the marae, followed by a haakari (feast) to conclude the tangihanga.

There will be a no-fly zone over Taupiri Maunga and the Waikato River will be closed between Pukete and Huntly boat ramps during the ceremony.

The Waitangi Tribunal issued a report of the Government's Treaty Principles Bill and Treaty Clause Review policies and recommends:

1. That the Government abandon the Treaty Principles Bill.
2. That the Government establish a Cabinet Māori-Crown relations committee that has oversight of the Crown's Tiriti policies.
3. The Government pause the Treaty Clause Review policy while it is re-conceptualised through collaboration and co-design engagement with Māori.
4. That the Crown consider a process in partnership with Māori to undo the damage to the Māori-Crown relationship and restore confidence in and honour of the Crown.

INDIGENOUS LEADERS JOIN KIINGI TUHEITIA AS SIGNATORIES TO WHAKAPUTANGA MOANA AND TUURAMA ARIKI DECLARATIONS 🪶🌊💚

Indigenous leaders have joined Kiingi Tuheitia Pootatau te Wherowhero VII as signatories to two historic declarations at Turangawaewae Marae today – one for the protection for whales and one for the use of ancestral knowledge for the betterment of future generations.

Marissa Merculieff of The Aleut Community of St. Paul Island signed He Whakaputanga Moana (declaration for the ocean), which is a Hinemoana Halo – a cloak of protection for whales.

Ngātiwai Rangatira Aperahama Edwards says the declaration calls for whales to be granted legal personhood and outlines a plan for their protection.

“We are grateful for the leadership of our ariki, particularly Kiingi Tuheitia who was a founding signatory of He Whakaputanga Moana in Hawai’i, earlier this year.

“As Te Kiingi said, the sound of our ancestor’s song has become weaker and her habitat is under threat and we must act now.”

He Whakaputanga Moana will ensure that future generations inherit an ocean teeming with life and the songs of whales.

Following the signing of He Whakaputanga Moana, King Pomare XI of Tahiti signed Tuurama Ariki – a declaration by indigenous leaders to use their ancestral knowledge for the betterment of future generations and advocate on issues impacting the planet.

Te Whānau-a-Apanui Rangatira Rikirangi Gage says Kiingi Tuheitia proposed the name of the declaration, which refers to the wisdom of ancestors guiding the journey ahead.

“Signatories to Tuurama Ariki are committed to advocating on issues such as climate change, environmental protection, economic development and globalisation and using indigenous knowledge to help solve some of these challenges.”

The declaration has received widespread support from ariki across Te Moana-nui-aa-Kiwa.
