520    The Whangara people believe their ancestor Paikea was 
       saved from drowning by riding home on the back of a whale.
       The tribal group has since granted leadership positions to
       the first-born males, believing them to be descendants of 
       Paikea. But then a young mother dies in childbirth along 
       with her newborn male son. His twin sister survives and 
       the little girl, Pai, is brought up by her grandparents. 
       Learning the skills of chiefdom from her uncle, Pai shows 
       that she possess a natural leadership ability.
