New Zealand bade farewell to a beloved Maori King as a flotilla of carved war canoes deliver the late monarch to his final resting place on the slopes of Mount Taupiri. King Tuheitia died on August 30 just days after undergoing heart surgery. New Zealand's Maori Chiefs anointed Queen as their new monarch Thursday, a surprise choice hailed as a symbol of change for the country's Indigenous community.
