Paka, growing up the way he did, follows every rule that their tradition has, whereas Pai, being born into the modern world, wants the Maori people to think more progressively. During childbirth, Pai’s mother dies, along with Pai’s twin brother, who was in line for the role of the chief. This is enough change for Paka as he decides that Pai cannot fulfil the role. At first, Paka is just blind to Pai’s ability to be the chief, he…
