This is my first time watching this. What an honor and such a blessing. Nga mihi nunui kia tatou tipuna. Brings tears to my eyes. I wonder if my aunty Te Oraiti is in this group.
I absolutely love this video. I am a 58 yr old Maori/Irish Kiwi and to see our people 60 yrs ago not long before Maori culture become a small but important part of the NZ curriculum at primary school.
because the pakeha at the time restricted Maori with some of the traditions and back in those times tattoos were universally frowned upon regardless of tradition or culture - that has changed a great deal since then thank god and nz is not so euro-centric as it was back then and Maori is accepted as the nz culture in all its traditions and practices
I'm Aussie-pakeha, born in Otahuhu but left NZ early in my life (age 2) with Mum (Kiwi) and Dad (British) to live in Australia. Have not been to NZ since '87 when Pop passed away. I was just a young lad I don't remember anything. I'm 42 now. I'm trying to learn more about where I came from, really don't know how to feel about this. This feels exploitative.
Why ? Other cultures get to share on TV. I have seen Spanish dances, countless Italian singers, French singing, French Cooking...... why should Māori not ALSO be able to share their awesome culture.
It's quite ironic how the old fullas used to tell is how to be staunch and strong in our haka actions... And yet most of them came from this era where they looked funny as hell doing a haka... Ahh well chur anyway!! 🤣🤣🤣
There is no moko on Maori females face. Therefore, it is an optional fashion, not compulsory.:).The Maori are not fully Polynesian, they have Greek in their blood also.
i would imagine being 1963, any moko was NOT going to be allowed on national TV. Performing kapa hapa onstage with moko has been part of the national revival of our culture since the 1974 commonwealth games in chch. You use the word "compulsory" .. our ancestors wore our markings within tribe as identifiers, to other iwi. Often due to rank amongst the warriors. Why wouldnt we wear moko during performance.. nay during life, if we are proud to be Maori. FYI, beyond the islands, our blood goes back to thailand. Dunno where tf you think greek blends in. Such a condescending comment.
dont be ignorant back in those days no tattoos were allowed to be shown in society let alone on the television - pakeha dominated nz culture back then and they were very euro-centric with all their bias against indigenous culture and pracitices
Ever seen a kid hurt themselves and when they cry you're like "aww its ok" you help them up etc then they settle down and carry on? Well hakas's today are like those kids that cry at the top of their lungs so loudly and dramatically you don't have any sympathy for them. There are real cries then there are over dramatic cries. Same with a haka, there are real expressions then there are over dramatic expressions.
I wanna punch that commentators face into 2021 his ignorance and arrogance is so Stone age that I only tolerate it to see my nan & koro xxxxxxxoooooxxxxx BTW boy my koro was spunky
Our beautiful AUNTY HAPAI MAC DONALD (married Nepia Osbourne/Tony Mc Cain) from WAIMARAMA hawkes bay, daughter to David Te Aramakau Norua & Lovey Wikitoria Mac Donald so awesome to check you out back in the day...... you will always live on in our hearts aunty....Aroha nui Butch & Mary's tribe
Can anyone give the korero as to why the kaitataki Tane is leading Ka panapana , a haka wahine na te tairawhiti? Not criticising just curious. Mauri ora e te whanau
Women and men are very gentle in moving but fiercely. The pacific mana
I so love Maori music and culture. Sending love from Canada.
The white guy is very derogatory in this treatment of the Maori culture!!!
I was laughing so hard I was crying at the end, such a comedian and lovely performance from the roopu <3
Massive cupahuka awesome love this ❤❤❤
doesn't he remind you of Andy Williams?
Way different from today...... The further back, the more we sound and look to our islander tupuna
Not a tamoko in sight, no moko kauae, this is a young group who have respect for their tikanga and know their place
Are we australian?
2023 New Zzealand!

This is my first time watching this. What an honor and such a blessing. Nga mihi nunui kia tatou tipuna. Brings tears to my eyes. I wonder if my aunty Te Oraiti is in this group.
Would of loved to have seen them

A great history piece, well done but how come hardly a tattoo in sight amongst 136 peeps?
because the pakeha at the time restricted Maori with some of the traditions and back in those times tattoos were universally frowned upon regardless of tradition or culture - that has changed a great deal since then thank god and nz is not so euro-centric as it was back then and Maori is accepted as the nz culture in all its traditions and practices
I hope someone put him right on where Maori come from ...Australia indeed !🤣
Absolutely love this 😍
Would have been best with just the Maori music! Though the comments were OK, too...
Amaze at how well he does Poi
That's were Queen got their we will rock you music probably.
Interpretations. Leave a lot of room to ask the questions .. so proud of my culture
What a treasure to watch just beautiful 🙏
Love our old skool kapaz, Modern Contemporary has its benefits but nothing beats " I nga ra o mua " 🔥😍#NATIVEPRIDE
The simplicity of their performance is typical. Loved learning this in our whanau Maori Culture groups. So retro.
Old school love it
This video is a hack job

8.44 The host met a Maori in Australia? ohhh ok.
Truly beautiful absolutely ❣️ e
Lol at 9.25, he'd be crucified if he did that now.
I like the way they did the haka back in the days. It's way too over dramatic now days. Such a cool video, love these random finds i come across.

When it's DRAMATIC it has a reason.

Beautiful!! Lost for words...
Little did anyone know then how famous the Haka would become.
So Good. Danny enjoyed it and the audience had an authentic cultural experience. Props, respect, and love to all involved.
