Witi Ihimaera (The Matriarch, Tangi) was inspired to write Whale Rider in 1985 while living in an apartment in New York overlooking the Hudson River. The sight of a whale spouting on the river in 1985 reminded Ihimaera of his people's legend, and led to his story about young Paikea and her grandfather, Koro. The Whale Rider story reworks the legend of his tribe at Whangara. It tells how their ancestor, Paikea, arrived at the East Coast on the back of a mighty whale.
He also says: "I wrote the book primarily to ensure that some communication was happening between myself and my tribe, and so that communities everywhere would understand that for you to have a healthy community filled with fine leaders, you need to look in places where you might not normally have thought to yourself to look, and that leadership comes out of surprising people, both men and women.
