From New Zealand-
The
first Māori King's flag has been returned to its "rightful owners",
after being owned by the Anglican Church for around 160 years.
Bishop Ross Bay, from the Anglican Diocese, officially signed over
ownership to the Kīngitanga in a ceremony hosted by Parnell's Holy
Trinity Cathedral on Thursday.
"There was no doubt that [the flag] belongs in Ngaruawahia from whence
it came, 160 years ago. They are the rightful owners," Bay said.
Pōtatau Te Wherowhero was the first Māori King and founder of the Te
Wherowhero royal dynasty. He became king in 1858 and reigned until his
death in June 1860.
