Pacific chiefs from across Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia gather at Tūrangawaewae Marae for the Māori Queen Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po’s second koroneihana.
Radio New Zealand Pacific and the NZ Herald both report that the event brings together ariki and other regional leaders to take part in the Māori Queen’s celebration at the Waikato marae, reinforcing the gathering’s broader Pacific connections. Both outlets describe the location as Tūrangawaewae Marae and frame the attendance as a highlight of the koroneihana schedule. They do not provide conflicting details about who attends or where the ceremony occurs, but each source uses slightly different wording for the participants: one specifies chiefs by region and refers to “Pacific chiefs,” while the other says “Pacific ariki” will be present.
