Projection of the film
In proverb, the Maori refer to bats as pekapeka and associate
them with the mythical, night-flying bird, hokioi, which foretells death
or disaster.
For some Pakeha, it is merely a matter of semantics,
but for the Maori, the wording is illustrative of all the injustices that
have been dealt to their people at the hands of these European settlers.
pakeha = occident refuse
Ko te kiwi te mea paku rawa o te whānau ratite, he whānau manu rere kore, ā, ko ētahi atu o
taua whānau manu, ko te rhea o Amerika ki te Tonga, ko te ostrich o āwherika, rātou ko te emu o
Ahitereiria, tae rawa ki te moa, te manu nui kua ngaro noa nei. Nā runga i te mea kua hipa ngā
tau manomano e noho motuhake ana a Aotearoa i ētahi atu whenua me te kore kararehe whakangote i
tēnei whenua, i kapi te whenua i a ngā momo manu nei. Ko te kiwi, he manu ahurei, me te mea anō,
kua whakaritea te kiwi hei whakaata i te ‘wairua’ o Aotearoa, hei tohu hoki i tōna mana.
