Dame Te Atairangikaahu


The Maori Queen


Dame Te Atairangikaahu, otherwise known as The Maori Queen was born on 23 July 1931 and unfortunately passed away in 2006.  She was known to her people of the Kingitanga movement as "The Lady".  A modest, softly spoken but immensely respected figure with mana in spades.  Much missed by anyone who ever knew her.

  1. Well, you've just made me look her up on Wiki. She seems like a great intelligent lady and a good monarch. Thank you so much for leaving a sweet comment on my origami garland :)
