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.
