In this society,leadership roles are a presence for men.It passes from one male to another male descent.For this realm,it is always hoped that the first born child of the heir apparent will be son.
Child naming is also determined not just by one's gender but also the role one can be expected to play in society. Koro is really upset when Nani name Kahu after great ancestor Kahutia Te Rangi. To Koro, naming a girl after Kahutia show disrespect.
Nani gets Kahu's birth cord burried in the village to symbolise Kahu's connection with her people. In Nani's view, Kahu belongs to her father's people.
Traditions and culture are passed down from one generation to another in instruction sessions.

In this society, individuals have specific roles to play. Koro, for example is viewed as an old whale "...........has a role in the pattern of things in the tides of the future".
