160 Year Old Flag


Image result for 160 year old flag
A 160 year old flag has been given back to Kingitanga by the Anglican Church.

This flag dates back from the time of the first Maori king,  Pōtatau Te Wherowhero and has been given back to them after the Anglican Church had forgotten that they had it for over 100 years.

The current Maori Kings' son has been given the Taonga on behalf of Kingitanga at a ceremony.

The origin of the flag is unclear as it may have been made for as a pall for the death of Pōtatau.
