Retell an interesting part of the text in your own words.
Puarata is a Godfather like character who has lost mana with his tribe and family and is not wanted at the
tangi. He claims to have carved the bone tiki, allegedly from human bone, and wants it back.
tangi. He claims to have carved the bone tiki, allegedly from human bone, and wants it back.
Mat instinctively dislikes Puarata, and at the tangi takes the bone tiki off Wai-aroha’s neck as she lies in
state on the Marae. As soon as he touches the tiki he feels it’s power. He then flees the tangi with Puarata
and his henchmen in pursuit with the intention of going to his mother’s place in Taupo.

This is my favourite text part in the book because it shows how Mat has pride in what’s his or what his
mother left, and my favourite sentence is “As soon as he touches the tiki he feel its power” that tells us
that the tiki actually belongs to him.
