This is a traditional story told in te reo Maori from the perspective of the Kahui Maunga
people about Ngake and Whataitai. These two taniwha inhabited Te Whanganui-a-Tara,
Wellington Harbour, long before the ancestral migrations. The story tells how the shape and
landscape... of Wellington, its harbour and the Lower Hutt area came about because of the
actions of Ngake and Whataitai. Long ago, Te Whanganui a Tara was an enclosed lake, but
Ngake forced his way out into the sea by battering through the clenched teeth of the fish of
Maui to allow the fish to breathe. Whataitai was washed down the throat of the fish, causing
it to cough, and Whataitai and three morsels flew out. The morsels became islands in the
harbour, but Whataitai was stranded and grew weak and died, becoming part of the land
around the harbour

"Polynesian Panthers records the Pacific rights and social activist movement in New Zealand, told by those who were there. Forming in 1971, the Polynesian Panthers sought to raise consciousness and took action in response to the racism and discrimination Pacific peoples faced in ...New Zealand in the 1970s and 1980s. The Panthers organised prison visit programmes and sporting and debating teams for inmates; provided a halfway-house service for young men released from prison; ran homework centres; and offered 'people's loans', legal aid and food banks that catered for 600 families at their height. Drawing on interviews, memoirs, poetry, newspaper articles and critical analysis, Polynesian Panthers is a thought-provoking account of this period in New Zealand"--Publisher information.
