Interesting. Here we have a Hawaiian band (Kapena) singing about a Maori prophet (Rua Kenana) using a Jamaican rhythm. You can hear a generous sound sample of Kapena's recording at their website. However, I don't think Kapena performed it on the soundrack.
allmusic says RUA KENANA was written by D. Grace.
Lyrics below copied from copied from a Hawaiian music fan site:
RUA KENANA

O Rua, Rua Kenana.
He told his people not to go to war.
Let the white man fight the white man's war.

He lived there at Maungapohatu.
