- New Zealand’s Maori King Kiingi Tuheitia Pootatau Te Wherowhero VII has died recently.
- The Kiingitanga – Maori King movement – was founded in 1858 with the aim of uniting New Zealand’s Indigenous Maori under a single sovereign.
- The position has significant political and symbolic weight, but no legal status.
- Tuheitia succeeded his mother in 2006 to become the seventh Kiingitanga monarch.
- The position is not necessarily hereditary.
