Death of The Maori Queen

"Tens of thousands turned out to farewell Te Arikinui Dame Te Atarangikaahu - as she was carried down Waikato River on a waka to her final resting place on sacred Taupiri mountain."

Following a week of mourning Dame Te Ata was finally laid to rest today. This greatly admired and respected Maori leader will be much missed by her people.
