Pacific unity at Kiingi Tūheitia tangihanga | RNZ
Wednesday was not only a time of mourning but also a moment of solidarity as over 200 members of the Pacific community gathered to pay their respects to the late Kiingi Tūheitia at Tūrangawaewae Marae.
Rahui Papa, a spokesperson for Kiingi Tūheitia, highlighted the significance of Pacific representation at the event.
"Throughout the life of the Kīngitanga, he embraced his cousins of the Pacific. He talked about a lot of our Pasifika cousins living here in Aotearoa and how we need to look after that close relationship," Papa said.
