“My heart was heavy when I arrived because I saw how vast and abundant the land is here. So why did they have to come to Aotearoa?” Subscribe to Re: http://bit.ly/subscribe-re

The daughter of Māori King Tūheitia has met with Prince Charles in London. The visit comes almost 140 years after her ancestor, King Tāwhiao, traveled to England to meet Queen Victoria to urge her to honour Te Tīriti o Waitangi. Despite traveling such a vast distance, the Queen refused to meet with him.
