	Paikea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paikea is an ancestor of the Ngāti Porou, a Māori tribe of the east coast of New Zealand's North Island.
		Paikea is the name assumed by Kahutia-te-rangi because he was assisted by humpback whales (paikea) to survive an attempt on his life by his half-brother Ruatapu.
		Kahutia-te-rangi was the sole survivor of his brother's evildoings and assumed the name Paikea as a memorial of the assistance he received from the whales.

	Whale Rider
		Paikea, in stark contrast to her grandfather who barely tolerates her, loves and reveres her grandfather more than anything, but is strongly drawn to the Maori traditions and customs, constantly defying her grandfather's stubborn opposition to her learning in or participating in men's Maori ways.
		Paikea's difficult relationship with her grandfather, who scorns her because she is a girl and not the male heir he needs, is beautifully played here, and Keisha Castle-Hughes is a sensitive and winning actress who endows Paikea with the "strength, courage, intelligence, and leadership" which are the hallmarks of the culture.
		Paikea's claim to the line of chieftains is denied by her grandfather and the townspeople, only serving to encourage Paikea to prove that she is deserving of the role to which she feels she is born.

		Thusly, the girl Paikea (played beautifully by 11-year-old Keish Castle-Hughes) must live with the burden of her gender, and the burden that she survived while hereditary leader, her brother, did not.
		It's a feminist tale, in which Paikea must prove her worth to the current leader: her grandfather Koro, whom she loves immensely but who is disappointed by her gender.
		In one scene, Paikea's grandfather shows her a rope, and makes the analogy that each thread is a person; they're only strong when they're bound together.

		Paikea's grandfather, Koro, represents the ways of the ancestors, and in that he also represents the main problem of his people: the ancient traditions and customs are not being passed along to a new generation.
		Midway through the film, Paikea tells Koro he is to be her guest of honor at a school concert (she even has a sort of certificate she gives him as he lies in bed, not saying anything to Paikea).
		At the concert, Paikea and her classmates perform songs and dances, and the film cuts to shots of the front row and an empty chair; the seat set aside for Paikea's guest of honor, her beloved grandfather.

		While he loves her, his love for her tends to be quite harsh, and he does not see any possibilities for her to be the next leader.
		Paikea, however, understands the solution, and, despite her grandfather’s rejection, she moves into action, ignoring her own safety to save her people.
		The story of Paikea’s struggle to honor and follow her inner voice and not be swayed by others is deeply compelling.

		13-year-old Paikea is the latest in a long line of the Apirana family, which has produced generations of chiefs that have led the local Maori village since their ancestors first arrived in New Zealand.
		In the absence of her father as well as the death of her twin brother, Paikea is technically the next in line, and possesses a deep love and commitment to the old teachings.
		However, given the inability of women to serve as village leaders, Paikea's grandfather continually spurns her attempts to develop as a leader and instead searches elsewhere for a new chief to inspire the villagers and champion the community's traditions.
