I am Nigerian who has always found the performances of the Maori Haka enthralling. The explanations and performance by the gentleman makes the Haka even more interesting to me.
I never heard about Haka till I saw that MP performing it in the NZ parliament..My mistake. I absolutely love the fact that they are proudly preserving their culture.❤🙏
Can you explain the eye movement here? I always saw peoppe do big and almost glaring eyes? Is it a part of the dance? And also, what is that for? To scare off the enemy? I am very curious to know. Much appreciate if you could tell
@@jellybeanbear7017its used to show passion or to emphasize a point across during the haka or a dance, growing up tho i also heard it means "im going to eat you" like to intimidate a enemy tribe, threatening to eat them by widening their eyes, idk how true that is but thats what i heard as a kid
I learned of this cultural ceramonial dance of New Zealand on a video that popped up on my smartphone a while ago. So I looked it up and found other Haka videos and found one of school students celebrating a retired teacher and one at a wedding. Pretty interesting culture and at 64 I'm still learning about the world!
Proud to be Māori!! Kia Ora Matua, for sharing our culture and heritage abroad. I am humbled at the interest that people are showing from around the World.. Tino Ataahua, MAURIORA🙌🏾
I first saw a Haka dance performed by Jason Momoa in UA-cam for his movie Aquaman 1. I m truly mesmerised by display of strength n power in this dance. A fan from Malaysia. 💪💪
I live in the American Southwest & I have always found our Pueblo feast day dances to be an emotional experience! I feel the same way about the Maori hakas! Cultural preservation is important for the health of any people!! So is respect of difference!!
News 24 headline: "Shock over Maori infant brutality" They have been scalded, burned with cigarettes, raped, had bones broken and been beaten unconscious, sometimes to death. Horrific cases of Maori youngsters - some under two years of age - being tortured, abused and KILLED BY MEMBERS OF THEIR OWN FAMILIES Among the grisly headlines that have dominated the nation's media over recent weeks are stories of a 28-month-old Maori girl in a coma after suffering severe head injuries, a broken arm, cuts, bruises and cigarette burns over most of her body. The toddler's 52-year-old grandmother was being held in prison on assault charges. Police in the central North Island town of Carterton are investigating the death a week ago of 23-month-old Maori girl Hinewaoriki Karaitiana-Matiaha who was sexually abused, scalded with hot liquid and beaten before being taken to hospital by relatives. The child, who was put in the care of her grandmother by the Child, Youth and Family Service after consultations with the toddler's family just short of her second birthday, was dead on arrival at Masterton Hospital late on Sunday, July 23. And last week, a coroner in the east coast town of Tauranga found that two-month-old Marcus Te Hira Grey died from a brain haemorrhage following a severe beating by his father. These cases follow the recent release of a report into the gruesome killing last April of four-year-old James Whakaruru, beaten to death by his stepfather for failing to call him Dad. The stepfather had been jailed once for assaulting the boy, but the youngster endured a lifetime of horrific beatings, despite being under the eye of various child welfare agencies, and his hellish existence went unnoticed. The proportion of extreme cases of brutality towards children among the Maori population - which makes up about 15 percent of New Zealand's 3.8 million citizens - is far higher than for any other ethnic group.
Remember to respect other people's cultures to respect those Who Work with you is Enough with being racist what do you gain for making fun of nothing but hate Remember Humankindness always wins 🙏🏽🦌
News from the Rotorua Daily Post: "Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life." As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes.

Watch EMOTIONAL WEDDING HAKA if you want to feel the power, the mana, the strength of being Maori. I promise you, your heart wont be the same. Because your ancestors will finally talk to your heart through their spirit.
Absolutely. Check out footage from Kapa Haka events for some great examples of how varied they can be. It can be difficult to understand the meaning behind them if you don't speak the language but there are some good explainers out there - especially for the haka performed by the All Blacks and Black Ferns (or men's and women's national rugby teams).
The words of Ka Mate are poetry, a challenge to life and death. The first line Ka mate (tis death) followed by Ka Ora (Tis Life), tells us of the desperation of a man without hope facing certain death and yet knowing this is life at its most precious. The body of the haka I will leave you to research but the final lines are of the warrior climbing out of the pit of despair. Ā, upane, ka upane, whiti te rā!(a step up, another step, the sun shines!) Have you felt that moment in life, in hopelessness about to give up, and then found the fountain of strength from within and climbed the walls of your mental prison up into the light? Now knowing those words, feel your blood rise with the spirit to face any challenge? Yes, the sun does shine! This is truly the song of my people, the Haka of Aotearoa.
I love Aotearoa Maori culture, racist colonisation and the new govt in their country has tried to erase their language and culture but have failed miserably, Maori are a very proud and strong people, irrepressible
Stfu with your colonising bs, im moari and european and this was never an issue growing up in nz until woke kunts like u started whinging, theres abundant of oppotunities for people to learn te reo right from kohanga to uni, but nz is prodiminately english speaking and only 4% speak te reo, so trying to erase our language is not true, half the modern te reo words are made up gibberish pandering to the likes of you and the woke mob

To quote another UA-cam comment: What a total crock of shit. NO ONE is saying Maori can't speak, teach and celebrate their language as much as they like. What the new government has done is refuse to pay out millions upon millions of dollars to "Maori language experts" to teach every public sector worker and school child in the country. It was set to be yet another massive transferal of public money, ostensibly to "fight racism" (bullshit) but in reality, just another huge bribe to Iwi and guaranteed "work" for their mates and family members. All to teach a language that most Maori don't care learn themselves. The reason this lot are so pissed off is that usually when they're told "No" they march up and down, stomp their feet, stick out their tongues and generally act like a bunch of yobs. Our pathetic excuse for a media pretend that the rabble rousers represent the vast bulk of Maori people which is an utter lie and eventually, the activists get their way in the form of a pay off. Well, not this time. This country is in severe financial and economic peril after six years of suicidal mismanagement. The government have the huge and thankless task of just trying to get the books into some semblance of order without throwing away tens, even hundreds of millions of dollars to appease "activists". They're not angry that they're being treated differently from everyone else. They're furious that they're being treated the SAME. I repeat: ANYONE can speak, write, learn and/or teach the Maori language if they want to do so. They can even contract a fee with someone who wants to learn if they want. What they can't do is just expect a pay cheque from the tax payer for doing so.
Māori invaded the Chatham islands in 1835 were they slaughtered, enslaved and cannibalised the peaceful Moriori people including children, Māori wanted the Moriori's land and took it forcefully. Go research it
maori did not invade chatham island we are the same descendant no we did not enslave or slaughter or cannibalism 1835 maori of Aotearoa we were invade by the british empire by force by 1840 the treaty of waitangi te tiriti o waitangi was signed please get your kaupapa right
That can´t possibly mean to pay the dept in maori. It could mean something like " Hey cuzzys, let´s do a smash-and-grab robbery at the Michael Hill Jewellers store".
It could also mean "Let us steal from a doctor"..... News from the Rotorua Daily Post: "Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life." As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes.
They stole that haka and used it without permission and ignored it's meaning. Intellectual property theft is still theft, even if you want to try and couch it as "deserved" theft or something.
So glad New Zealand refused to join the newly founded country of Australia in 1901! The main reason was to avoid having a regime that enslaves the locals, seeks to make them forget their heritage, and steals their babies in order to drive them to extinction. Luckily, the Maori's were able to survive and we can today witness their beautiful Hakas. We can't have the same from the Native Americans or the Aboriginals because all their elders, empires and leaders were systematically erased from existence by the Spanish and the English. We just ask the world not to let the same happen to the Palestinians and Yemenis today at the hands of the Americans.
haka was use for war to intimidate our opponents in hoping to fear them so we may never do war when we do haka we access a channel in our spirit to bring those before us to hear our call and give us strength, a purpose, a sense of belonging doing the haka like our ancestor did before us is very scared to us
Enjoy the display at rugby games as it is a display intended to intimidate the opposition. What other aspects of the culture might you share with a broader audience as this seems quite aggressive on its face?
It's not intended to intimidate.. it represents acknowledgement of the challenges ahead and overcoming those challenges. This dance can be represented in a number of environments.. weddings, functions, sports games and funerals.. so no. Not used to intimidate.. it's just deep and powerful.
In the pastI was told the women didn’t do the haka? Also that it was traditionally done before the warriors went into battle to get their adrenaline levels up?……I don’t know for SURE, if either fact is/was true. I see the women definitely are part of it these days. I respect it but also admire that the sports teams doing it are not all one race but stand as ONE PEOPLE, the people of New Zealand.
They had different versions for women which evolved into it's own thing. There's different haka for different occasions, like with sports it's usually a challenge, in marriage it's a welcome, then you have ones for when people die, when something is opening or needs a statement made about it.
Women (Wahine) often fought in battles...they were fighting for their very existence! The Poi (balls on the end of a string) were originally training for the Mere (hand held club) and traditional stick throwing game (thrown between groups seated together) for co-ordination/agility reaction purposes was all used to prepare for battle. The Tane (men) fronted the battle but Wahine (women) and older Tamariki (children) also joined in support, taking opportunities while opposition were distracted fighting their Tane... to strike a fatal blow!
@@Amy-kj8nd i think so but this is the main one I've seen them doing even on weddings it's intense specially the tongue stuff it's hard to imagine someone feeling emotional while moving their tongue out , but they actually are emotional about most of the time
The West will accept and respect every other religion apart from SANATANA 🚩(Hindu) like if u agree. No disrespect to any other religion but just want to stand tall and proud for our religion/Dharma 💯
I am Nigerian who has always found the performances of the Maori Haka enthralling. The explanations and performance by the gentleman makes the Haka even more interesting to me.
What does you being nigerian have to do with your statement

That would've probably been Rawiri Wikuki Waititi.
@@LucianCooper-fr4sx or Hana-Rawhiti Maipi Clarke. She also did a powerful haka.
Proud to be Maori. We are one of the smallest populations in the world but our culture is known by millions.
As a kiwi in the USA, I can tell you hell no, many cannot tell the differences between a native Australian and Māori. Just saying
Never heard of it. But it looks funny 😊

@@ourpeople-g7r Robbery is not allowed - But how about growing Marijuana?
It could also mean "Let us steal from a doctor".....
News from the Rotorua Daily Post:
"Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life." As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes.
I have to learn this.
Scary !!!we need this people to run in governments
Oh where oh where is my little kuri oh where oh where can he be. Hes Hiding up in the totara tree oh where oh where can he be
Kia had a haka add that got taken down. So why not this one? Oh money
They stole that haka and used it without permission and ignored it's meaning. Intellectual property theft is still theft, even if you want to try and couch it as "deserved" theft or something.
Who?lol
would not go to his neibourhoud

So glad New Zealand refused to join the newly founded country of Australia in 1901! The main reason was to avoid having a regime that enslaves the locals, seeks to make them forget their heritage, and steals their babies in order to drive them to extinction. Luckily, the Maori's were able to survive and we can today witness their beautiful Hakas. We can't have the same from the Native Americans or the Aboriginals because all their elders, empires and leaders were systematically erased from existence by the Spanish and the English. We just ask the world not to let the same happen to the Palestinians and Yemenis today at the hands of the Americans.
You said it man! Because everyone including Palestinians,Yemens or whoever has a basic human fundemental right to exist as a people a nation!
Lol to the sun TE RA Te RAAAAA
haka was use for war to intimidate our opponents in hoping to fear them so we may never do war when we do haka we access a channel in our spirit to bring those before us to hear our call and give us strength, a purpose, a sense of belonging doing the haka like our ancestor did before us is very scared to us
Enjoy the display at rugby games as it is a display intended to intimidate the opposition. What other aspects of the culture might you share with a broader audience as this seems quite aggressive on its face?
It's not intended to intimidate.. it represents acknowledgement of the challenges ahead and overcoming those challenges. This dance can be represented in a number of environments.. weddings, functions, sports games and funerals.. so no. Not used to intimidate.. it's just deep and powerful.
Peace be upon you - those with high blood pressure cannot perform this tradition
😂😂😂 😂😂
Iam mexican and Mexico have azteca and maori heart!!❤❤
It looks more about a war ritual than about life😅
Careful the haka is often a prelude to a cannibal feast
With out the cannabilism it has lost it's significance
In the pastI was told the women didn’t do the haka? Also that it was traditionally done before the warriors went into battle to get their adrenaline levels up?……I don’t know for SURE, if either fact is/was true. I see the women definitely are part of it these days. I respect it but also admire that the sports teams doing it are not all one race but stand as ONE PEOPLE, the people of New Zealand.
They had different versions for women which evolved into it's own thing. There's different haka for different occasions, like with sports it's usually a challenge, in marriage it's a welcome, then you have ones for when people die, when something is opening or needs a statement made about it.
Women (Wahine) often fought in battles...they were fighting for their very existence! The Poi (balls on the end of a string) were originally training for the Mere (hand held club) and traditional stick throwing game (thrown between groups seated together) for co-ordination/agility reaction purposes was all used to prepare for battle. The Tane (men) fronted the battle but Wahine (women) and older Tamariki (children) also joined in support, taking opportunities while opposition were distracted fighting their Tane... to strike a fatal blow!
watching it After NZ Mp performed in Parliament
what the heIl is happening here?
Just maoris doing a stupid little dance.
She got some guns!
Das ist gut aber bitte auf Germany übersetzen
Her chin is very pointy isnt it
Is this dance preparation for war
Neither. It's about a women who saves a man's life. Ka Mate (the name of this particular haka) was used before rugby games for decades.
Tribals
Now I know why Hackers always wanted to perform Haka
She has a great future from behind ❤
I have a friend that throws a temper like this. Never grab the last beer in front of him. Wheeew
who would have a guy with no t shirt on screen but good video
Kalima shaktitay Kalima shaktitay! KA LI MA SHAK TI TAY!
why does he have a Australian accent.
It's a New Zealand Accent. The Māori people are native to New Zealand
Idiot
😤
Aussies say sex, we say six lol 😅
@@glazedshades4692 Of course it could've been a Australian accent, so many Maori live in Australia.
Is this the new trend ?
Sometimes it's good to move on and forget about our ancestors scary dance moves 😂
And sometimes it's good to move on from and forget about your ancestors ugly colonialism.
It's not always scary different hakas for different occasions.
It used to be scary to scare the enemy
@@Amy-kj8nd i think so but this is the main one I've seen them doing even on weddings it's intense specially the tongue stuff it's hard to imagine someone feeling emotional while moving their tongue out , but they actually are emotional about most of the time
@@JackyNodles So you're intolerant of other people's cultures and attempt to belittle them to make youself feel better?
A bit weird, but you do you.
Only scary to you🤦🏽♂️ that's like saying when your looking in the mirror and you get scared of your own reflection😂
The West will accept and respect every other religion apart from SANATANA 🚩(Hindu) like if u agree.
No disrespect to any other religion but just want to stand tall and proud for our religion/Dharma 💯
