    As an Australian I obviously love our Aboriginal and Torres Strait people performing their traditional war cry but have been a fan of the Maori Haka since childhood. My finest memory of the Haka was on a holiday in the Cook Islands, the resort had as entertainment a group of New Zealand school kids performing ceremonial songs and chants for the mainly Japanese tourists who as usual were all up close and personal taking hundreds of photos , the kids both boys and girls wearing traditional outfits and simulated face tattoos and bearing warclubs and other traditional wepons ,proceeded to perform the Maori challenge normally performed before sporting events , I'm not telling a lie when I tell you that two lady tourists fainted on the spot and several more exited the building , also as an Australian group we did the right thing and almost pissed ourselves laughing . Another impressive Haka to check out is the opening ceremony from when New Zealand hosted the Olympic games (1990 Auckland) thousands of people were involved and was simply spectacular .

    I have had the honour to see several NZ Haka while an Aussie at the NZ embassy in the US. They were to welcome people rather than intimidate (and ended with the traditional Māori Hongi which is special and unique).
    Even a welcome Haka is intensely powerful though. Amazing in real life. Made me well up. Such a beautiful culture.

      The aboriginals are tough too. Surviving against all the odds in a harsh land for 60,000 years and against large fearsome animals when they first arrived on the continent and extreme climate shifts. They managed to tame this extreme land and adapt to it. And then surviving again thousands of years later due to near genocide at the hands of the arriving white people. If that's not worthy of being called "strong", I don't know what is!

    The NZ Maori and national rugby teams have been performing a pre-match haka since 1888. The most commonly-known haka, tho not performed here, is Ka Mate Ka Mate, written in about 1820 by Te Rauparaha. Haka are not restricted to sporting events but performed in many societal settings (weddings, funerals, and even school dances).
    There has been a push in Australia for a similar Indigenour war cry to be adopted before sporting games. I think this was one of the first times one was performed ahead of the Indigenous All-Stats game.

    • @SilentHotdog28
      @SilentHotdog28 Рік тому +2

      Both cultures have been suppressed by the British and later colonists. Indigenous war cries do exist, however since there are so many cultures and languages, it's hard for there to be a unified one.

    • @danmc_2783
      @danmc_2783 Рік тому

      The indigenous peoples here in Australia were terribly oppressed and their culture almost wiped out through forced assimilation. The war cry the Australian Indigenous All Stars perform is a more modern creation, derived from traditional dances that have been preserved and different indigenous dialects, meant to bring the many different indigenous cultures together.
      This was an an idea from former indigenous players and elders as a way to represent Indigenous culture and "invoke the spirits of the land" in a more general way. It's clearly inspired by the idea of the Haka which are performed by many Polynesian nations now before sporting events and particularly Rugby Union matches
      The Haka is an older tradition before Rugby Union games in New Zealand, dating back to the late 19th century. There are numerous New Zealand Haka, with different dances for different occasions. These dances have been far better preserved due mostly to the fact that being a war like people and much less spread out than the indigenous Australians the Maori people of New Zealand manged to force a treaty with the British which helped save their culture and customs.
      The Ka Mate Haka they originally performed is absolutely a huge adrenaline rush for any sporting fan, simultaneously thrilling and piss-your-pants blood chilling. You definitely need to check that out, live and in person preferably, some time asap
      I believe it would be great if all the different countries playing international sport could delve into their national cultural history to find ancient war cries, ceremonies and dances and come up with something to both welcome worthy opponents from distant lands and challenge them to do battle upon their home soil

    This must have been an Australian game. I didnt catch a lot of what they were saying but our indigenous boys sounded like they were saying who they were and where they were from. The first fellow was saying he was of the Warradjuri nation. There at least a couple of hundred indigenous nation/tribal groups with their own "country" language and traditions. A lot of which has been lost. So its with great pride they say what their country is. Warradjuri country is a vast area of Central NSW. Those languages both groups were using were their own local languages. So we wouldnt know what they were saying. Spine tingling nevertheless.

    However. We simply love to fight with each other too. And whilst its mostly on the sports field. The piss taking can appear (to foreigners) to be brutal and insultingly rude too.
    My advice is to not get involved, otherwise both sides will instantly stop, band together and (figuratively speaking) attack the interloper for ruining their local entertainment. Then share a beer together and together laugh at the interlopers expense.
    Aussie's and Kiwis love each Like family (we are btw), but we love to Battle each other even more. Especially on the sports field. But alls good once the game is over.

The NZ Haka has been pretty much synonymous with NZ sport for a few decades at least, I haven't seen this particular haka before so it was really interesting to watch. But the respect shown at the end with the two sides coming together was awe inspiring. Can someone please tell me why they did that? Is it because it was just a display and that there was no ill will felt between the two sides? I have so much to learn about Aboriginal culture, I feel ashamed I don't know more.

Just wish we would see more of it as it very unique to our 2 countries and always great rivalry between us!!!

    Glad you found this to react to. I see the layers in both as an Australian but also as someone who lived in Aotearoa New Zealand for a time. Plus I see similarities between the Māori haka and other Polynesian cultures - I have family who are Cook Islanders and others who are Tokelauan.
    You may find translations of what was said in Māori. However I'm not sure what languages were spoken on the Australian side because there are many possible languages spoken. May be dependent on where this game was played.
    One thing to notice with the the war cry is how many move based on particular animals. While the haka and the facial expressions connect can also be seen in artwork found in many Māori meeting places.
    Enjoy learning more. I still have a lot to learn myself.

    As an Australian, I have to say there's just nothing like a Haka. Any New Zealander can participate as long as they've been trained by and get lead by a Maori. Means there's always at least one Maori on any big league sports team!
    I can tell you the Australian team is using some movements and sounds copied from native animals. I think each first Nation has a totem animal: an animal that was the origin creature that the nation of people directly descend from, have a related ancestor of, or a guardian spirit.
    There's a fantastic video of a Maori bride's family welcoming her white husband in with a wedding Haka.

    I haven't watched NRL or Rugby etc for many years and so, growing up, I had only seen years of Kiwis doing Hakas, which of course everyone loves. This was the first time seeing an Aboriginal war cry and it was so great to hear the crowd cheering. When they got closer, dancing towards the Kiwis, it stirred something up inside me and I got emotional and proud (I'm not Indigenous) that we get to see this culture. I only recognised one word, Wiradjuri, as I happen to be on Wiradjuri country. It's very sad that so many of the languages have been lost. I hope our Indigenous cultures can keep being celebrated and embraced. Lovely when the two teams came together. Great video.

    The Aboriginal and torren straight islanders war cry is just something the league wanted to do for added show performance. The haka with the Kiwis is something more than just show. This war cry thing is not put on before games. 1st time I've seen it. Kaka you always see before every time games and sonon in their culture too for many special occasions.

      Ok, that explains why I've never heard or seen the War Cry but loved it. Have always loved seeing the Haka and have always wondered if we had an Aussie Aboriginal version and it has never been done before. I hope they continue to do this again in all sports where its Aussie vs Kiwi!! Awesome energy from both sides. But they I guess the Haka is done by most Kiwi's at all important events and a big part of their culture where the War Cry is more Aboriginal and indigenous peoples than then every Aussie. Was still awesome to see both done together!

    You should look at the year before to see more of the Australian warcry as they had more Torrest straight islanders who were wearing traditional headdresses and had other types of weapons. The Australian warcry can combine Torrest straight islanders and other Aboriginal groups.

    I admire and respect the haka, but as an Aussie I'm guilty of not being curious enough about Indigenous War Cry.
    On the haka theme, I believe you'd enjoy hak and sepia ti between NZ and Tonga, 2003 rugby world cup.
    And if you're up for a real cry, the Haka performed at funeral of a young nz kid by his class mates ( Jarom Rihari, suspected suicide). It breaks me down every time.

    In the maori haka when the different people split off and call the other players they are showing where they come from. What they are screaming is thier pepeha which tells us what mountain river and tribe they come from. The people splitting from the circle also come from thay tangata whenua or the same ancestral home. Side note, in the haka, the action where they are slapping thier thighs and then stand stright is to mock how the british would stand in thier lines saluting thier officers, this knowledge was given to me by my dad and mum as we live in new zealand and are māori as well

    At the Beginning of this Haka, when the Individuals are speaking/yelling its like an introduction, they are stating their origins, Their Mounga/Mountain, Their River/Awa, Their Tribe/Iwi and their Vaka, sorry Waka/Ancestor Voyaging Canoe. I assume the Indigenous might be doing something similar but I do not understand their language they have like over 200, but they might be also sharing their ancestry and links to Country.

      War and hunting boomerangs don't return, they use the general principle of lift but to gain distance, it's my understanding that boomerangs that return are more of a "toy or showing skill" sort of thing.

    You've travelled a long way from reacting to Aussie stereo types to discovering the real cultures of the Global South and it's adjacent Islanders. There's a lot of respect for each other's cultures. See if you can pick up on Sports in Papua, Tonga, Somoa and how rugby is our universal game. Fantastic rivalry, fantastic football from both league and Union.

    The Hakka with the intense facial expressions and tongue sticking out reminds me of the goddess Kali the Destroyer. The Hakka is meant to intimidate the enemy or in this case, the opponent. Also, to pump up the players.
    The reason why the Aussie side is getting more adulation is because the game is on their home turf. As a Romanian born Aussie girl, I appreciate both performances.

      PS the touching of noses at the end is a Maori greeting that in this case, the Aussie Aboriginals embraced.
      In the NRL we have the Auckland Warriors that have a higher Maori contingent and the South Sydney Rabbitohs that historically (back to 1908) have a higher Aboriginal contingent in their playing squad.
      These 2 teams make up the highest percentage of ‘Indigenous & Māori All Stars’ teams.
