Home of the Māori King movement, the lush Waikato region is the territory of numerous tribes descended from the people of the Tainui canoe. Key roles in their story have been played by women: the ancestor Kahu, who as a widow named many landmarks on a journey of grieving; Te Puea, founder of the Tūrangawaewae marae; and the late queen, Dame Te Ātairangikaahu.
