Title: Whale Rider
Review: Wonderful story of a girl who was born to be chief of her Maori tribe in New Zealand. Her grandfather can't accept that a mere girl is the annointed one, the coming chief. He excludes her from the training necessary to be chief, which includes stick fighting. But she learns nonetheless and proves, time after time, that she is the one. In the climactic scene she performs a miracle out of Maori tradition, perhaps a Maori equivalent of a newborn Moses recreating a Biblical story, the only problem being that the new Moses is a girl.If you are curious as to the nature of the miracle that our darling Maori girl is to perform, just notice the title of the story.
