She still got those things on her teeth?

Paka, at school we gotta do a speech
on where we come from and that.

:17:21
So anyway, you know how
we all came on a whale?

:17:25
That's right.
:17:27
But where does
the whale come from?

:17:31
- From Hawaiiki.
- Where's that?

:17:36
It's where we lived before we came here,
where the ancestors are.

:17:42
- So, Paikea came from there.
- Ae.

:17:46
- How long ago?
- Long time.

:17:50
But how long?
:17:56
See that there?
Look at it closely.

:18:01
What do you see?
:18:05
- Lots of little bits of rope all twisted together.
- That's right.

Weave together the threads of Paikea
so that our line remains strong.

:18:24
Each one of those threads
is one of your ancestors...

:18:29
all joined together and strong...
:18:33
all the way back
to that whale of yours.

:18:41
[ Sighs ]
:18:44
Useless bloody rope.
I'll get another one.
