I'm of Maori and Italian descent but present white. I was born in NZ and grew up learning Te Reo from 5 years old. I loved my Maoritanga all the way through to High School where, because of my white skin, I got bullied, abused and ostracized (even though I knew my whakapapa and was almost fluent in Te Reo by age 12) This scarred me for most of my adult life and have only just started to come back around to my culture after forgiving the evil that was done to me. Your videos showing true appreciation, love and respect for Maori culture has been a big help to me during this time of transformation and forgiveness. Just wanted to say thank you so much for what you do. Arohanui brother!
Thank u so much!!! ray for watching And respecting our culture and what we do here in aotearoa new zealand we really enjoy and appreciate your reactions to us! Thank u my guy👍
Churr I dunno what's more entertainmening, our Kapa haka or your reactions/interactions? lol 😄🙌🏾 I love how ya try to pronounce the names, you're definitely getting better. Great videos mana. Looking forward to seeing/supporting more. Much mihi from Aotearoa.
Your excitement when the poi’s come out 🤣 too funny. It’s cool to see your genuine interest, I’ve missed these crack up reactions, hopefully you drop some new content soon 😊
You gotta come to NZ brother. I’m gonna get my whanau on point for you. Reason you challenged Gangsters here by giving perspective. Your love of Kapa Haka sincerely felt. Your Te Reo is improved. Arohanui
Broooo man's feeling the ihi! Cheers for the respect ē hoa! Also if you want to watch some South Island groups (most of the groups you've reacted to are from the North Island), might I recommend Hē Waka Kōtuia or Te Wharekura ō Arowhenua? I don't know what Matatini-level groups there are from the South, but those are two high school rōpū which are pretty damn good
Dude just noticed your Hugo Boss t shirt. Alex Thompson respect to the max. Maori sailed navigated my bro by the star’s. I had a conversation with Peter Blake he asked me why I was in Australia promoting sailing for street kids and not in NZ. Fair question this was my response 1. Eurocentric Culture. 2. No money. 3. Subjugation. Brother. Australians believe in the underdog, and totally disrespect authority. No matter what mistakes you made in the past, what matters is how you are in their community. Love my ANZACs and my Australian family.
Loving the content! You should definitely check out Te Wharekura o Rākaumanga - Raahui Pookeka Ahurei if you do end up viewing for Kapa Haka content. They are so talented!
Kia ora my bro! 🙇🏽♂️umm I dont if you can download this app🤷🏽♂️, but it is called “Whare Korero” download and it shows you all these Maori Radio stations but fine the one that says “Te Arawa Fm” then scroll down untill you fine “Te Whakataetae Kapa haka Kura…” (The secondary schools comp) there are some cool Kapa Haka groups i think you will like👌🏽, and will give you more videos to watch and react to them😎😂 Love your reaction videos bro straight up💯
27:19 a taniwha (danifa) is a sea monster, a dragon like creature that went near extinct after the British stole the land. The pakeha deny its existence, us Maaori know places where they lived, whos tribe tamed them, where some were killed and where the bones are buried. we have seen taniwha and we believe alot of the ancient protector taniwha to still be alive because a few of them actually are. We have a guardian taniwha who swims around in the small part of Lake Taupo that we own, he sleeps under the cliffs of Rangiora, where we can visit him to thank him or do a karakia for good fortune or to help with something.
they are literally dinosaurs who are still alive, the more research i've done, the more i don't understand why they hide this truth away. almost every culture had dinosaurs, india, persia, the greek, hebrew, arab, tartarians, chinese, even british, and way more had DRAGONS, aboriginals, polynesians, micronesians, indonesia, and many more have sea dragons. how does the world even believe that they never existed at the same time as man when its obvious that they are lying (most likely has to do with money)
Can you plss do my school pls 🙏🙏 if yes (Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngāti Kahungunu ki Heretaunga me te Wairoa)i subscribe to your channel soo pls react to my school 🙏🙏🙏
