Ngaruawahia (nga-roo-ah-waa-hee-ah) - is a small town in the central North Island, about 1.5 hours south of Auckland. It is here where the current Maori Queen or King lives, on a Marae (like a village) known as Turangawaewae (which means homeplace). Currently we have a King named Tuheitia Paki. Our Queen, Dame Te Atairangikaahu, passed away in 2006 after a 40 year reign.
The reigning monarch is the Queen of New Zealand, Elizabeth II who is better known as the Queen of England.
She lives in England.

Apirana Ngata did not become the Maori king. He was a prominent Maori leader, politician, and advocate for Maori rights, but he did not hold the position of Maori king. The Maori king is a hereditary position within the Maori King Movement, established in the 19th century.
The Maori people do not have a single king. Instead, they traditionally have various tribal leaders known as rangatira.
To become the Maori King, one would need to exhibit qualities such as strong leadership skills, knowledge and understanding of Maori culture and history, ability to unite and represent Maori tribes, and a commitment to promoting the interests of Maori people. It is also important to have the respect and support of Maori tribes and communities.
