Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Koinei te wā whakamiharo i awhi ai te rau tangata kē ki tētahi wahine Māori i herea nei ōna kanohi i waenganui o tētahi takutai rongonui. Hei wāhanga o tētahi whakamātautau pāpori, i haere te taiohi o Ahitereiria ki te Uru, a Jasirah Bin-Hitam, ki Cottesloe Beach i Perth, he kanohi i herea, he tohu i tuhia: 'E whakawhirinaki ana ahau ki a koe. E whakawhirinaki ana koe ki ahau? Kia awhi tātou.' Ko te riipene whakaata ngakau, i whakairihia inanahi e te kaitoi a Peter Sharp, hei akiaki i nga Ahitereiria kia nui ake te whakawhirinaki. Ka kitea te taiohi o Ahitereiria ki te Hauauru a Jasirah Bin-Hitam e tu ana i waenganui o Cottesloe Beach i Perth i te kanohi i te tohu noa iho. Ka tīmata i te ākonga koiora moana 17 tau te pakeke e whakatuwhera ana i ona ringa, e whakatakoto ana i te tohu. Ahakoa i te tīmatanga e ruarua ana te mano, i muri tata iho ka uru mai ki te awhi mahana, e kii ana ki a Hitlam he 'tino toa' ia, he 'tino tino mīharo hoki.' Whai muri i te raupapa o ngā pōhā ngakau, ka mutu te ataata ki tētahi tatauranga āwangawanga mai i te Australian Reconiliation Barometer:. 'I te tau 2012, he 13 ōrau noa iho o ngā Ahitereiria i kī e whakawhirinaki ana rātau ki tētahi Āorihi, ki tētahi Motu Torres Strait rānei.' I kii a Ms Bin Hitam ki te Seven News e tumanako ana ia ka taea e te riipene ataata, e whakaatu ana i te maha o nga tangata ke 100 e tuku ana i a ia i roto i te hawhe haora, te awhina ki te whakarereke i taua tatauranga. 'He tino pānga ki ahau, i te whai i te iwi tupono haere mai, me te awhi i ahau,' ka mea ia. Ahakoa i te tīmatanga e ruarua ana te mano, i muri tata iho ka uru mai ki te awhi mahana, e kii ana ki a Hitlam he 'tino toa' ia, he 'tino tino mīharo hoki.' Ko Peter Sharp, nana nei i waihanga te ataata, i kii ko te tikanga kia huri i nga whakaaro o te iwi mo te whakawhirinaki. I eke a Peter Sharp ki te arotahi i te marama kua hipa ki tētahi ataata o tētahi pātī kanikani ātaahua i runga i tētahi tereina o Perth, i whiwhi ai i ngā mātakitaki neke atu i te 10 miriona. I kii ia ki a Seven News ko te kaupapa o te riipene ataata ki te whakarereke i nga whakaaro o te iwi. 'He tangata noa mātou e hiahia ana ki te whakarerekē, ā, he mea ngāwari noa iho te tū ki reira me tētahi tohu,' i kī ia. I whakairihia te ataata i te Rāpare, ā, neke atu i te 160,000 ngā tāngata i mātakitaki i a ia.
E whakaatu ana te riipene ataata i a Jasirah Bin-Hitam e tu ana me te tohu i Cottesloe Beach. Tata ki te 100 ngā tangata kē e tuku ana i te moko ki te ākonga 17 tau te pakeke i roto i te hawhe haora. Ko te kaupapa o te ataata ko te akiaki i te iwi o Ahitereiria kia nui ake te whakawhirinaki. I whakaaweahia e tētahi tatauranga e 13 ōrau noa iho o ngā Ahitereiria e whakawhirinaki ana ki ngā Āoriori me ngā Motu o Torres Strait.
