The whale mothers look over their young while the single leader whale-the bull whale-reminisces about his own youth so long ago, and the precious time he spent with the whale rider. This whale rider casts spears as life-giving objects to the islands, but one spear he casts 1000 years into the future, which is the time of the story’s young heroine Kahu.
One relationship in particular - that between the whale rider and his giant whale - was exemplary of a symbiotic connection.
Then man arrived from the east, and the relationship between nature and man throve. The story begins with a focus on the ancient days, when nature and all wildlife were excitedly waiting for the coming of man.
