The Maori word for princess is "te whaea wahine" or "te wharekura."
Depending on who you ask, some will say it's "Pirinitete", while others would say "Pirinihi"
In Maori, you would say "te rarawa o te putiputi".
The myth about Lake Hauroko's Maori princess is not true. It is a legend that has been passed down through generations, but there is no concrete evidence to support its authenticity. It is a story that has been woven into the cultural fabric of the region, adding to the rich tapestry of Maori folklore and history.
The plural of Maori is Maori.

She may be best known for her resistance to the conscription of the Maori for military service during WW One. She also was personally involved in the hiding of Maori conscripts from the New Zealand government. The Princess also was active in her support of orphaned children and a leader in providing agrarian reforms in an effort to make the Maori self-sufficient.
there isn't just one princess, Maori are tribal so there are different customs in different areas, kinda think of it like kingdoms within a country, the Tainui tribe actually have a King or known as ariki , ariki is the high chief, the chiefs of chiefs and this rank was determined by his blood line, the next one down was rangatira or known as artistocrats. A Maori princess can be the daughter of a high chief or rangatira or be betrothed as Puhi at birth which is scared daughter of chief. But today the only tribe I know that actually uses the word princess is tainui.
