Kōrero: Te whānau puha

Whale rider – he whakataukī

Kei te whakaputa whakataukī te pakeke i te wāhanga nei o te kiriata a Whale rider. Ko tāna, ‘He rei ngā niho, he parāoa ngā kauae’. He ‘niho rei’ tērā i whiua e ia ki te taha, he taonga whakapaipai tēnei ka whakamaua ki te kakī. Ko te tikanga o te kōrero a te pakeke rā, ki te hiahia koe kia tiki i te niho rei i te moana, kia rite tō kaha ki te kaha o te tohorā.
