- Jason Momoa arrived in to Auckland Airport on the 15th September and was greeted with a pōwhiri by kapa haka group 'Ahina i te Kaupapa' from Rāhui Pōkeka (Huntly).
Word on the street is that Jason is here in Aotearoa scouting locations for his upcoming Apple TV, Hawaiian historic show, Chief of War.

Given he is half Hawaiian 🌺 I’m pretty sure he would be grateful and humbled by such a greeting from our beautiful Māori people.
Who wouldn't like a greeting like that!? That was awesome!!
He has been here a few times and is known to love Māori culture and has embraced doing the haka himself. We love him as well 😍
Fellow Polynesians
"our beautiful Māori people"
Oh yes. How wonderful the maori people are. Let us bless them. Let is hold them up high and show the world how great the are.
News headline from the Rotorua Daily Post newspaper: "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.
For some devine reason, I always cry where hearing such greetings or when I hear Haka I get excited, Maori traditions feel so home to me, I guess in one of my lifetimes I was Maori but in this life I am a white,blond,blue-eyed woman...LOVE is not bounded by time🥰
Exactly, we all have walked many different lives & wore many different skins, we are one humans 🙏✨️💝✨️
Me too! ❤
It always brings me to tears because it's so genuine, raw, and powerful.
🤤ok
I feel the same way ..So beautiful and touching ❤️😢 it must be such an honor to be greeted like that.
I love how the Maori welcome people..you are a privledged man Jason Momoa..SPECTACCULAR!!
Love him, & Love how people continue keeping their Culture alive!!!! LOVE IT ALL!!
They. Chose who they greet obviously cause they don't greet everyone 🤔
He is one of us and we are welcoming this brother home.
Every time I see a demonstration like this, an act of pure cultural heritage gold, I'm always, ALWAYS, humbled to tears, and the demonstration isn't even for me!! These people are keeping their stories alive, and it's an HONOR to watch them, even on UA-cam.
I also thought it was BRILLIANT of Jacinda Ardern to have worn the Kākahu she wore to the Queen's funeral. Just putting it out there.
Who are you talking bout ....who is Jacinda ?
@@sarahhernandez1015 NZ Prime Minister.
That little baby shouting at the end was the most precious 😭 They wanted to be included in the Haka ceremony 🥰💕😍
I hope he never loses of changes his sense of self. He shows us all what an honest open loving human being looks like.
We love the bro…….he is one of us long before he became famous…..and because he accepts and loves us in return….we all have that connection and infinity with him in spirit and on this earthly plain……..
what do you mean one of us?
@@yolotoko2393 et!! what do you mean???
Can't express enough the respect for this culture
I'm not Maori or Hawaiian but it made me tear up, sooo beautiful to have a welcoming like this 🙏✨️💚✨️💚✨️💚✨️
Same here, this greeting is a grand expression of welcoming and love.
The lady in the korowai on the right showing Jason where to stand was my form 6 class teacher.
I am very proud the Maori keep thier culture ans customs real.
Much respect from a native American Cherokee. Keeping culture alive is showing love to your elders and to the creator.
Again much respect!
So true. Big respect!
🤎🌿 nga mihi e hoa, we are very resilient.
Your culture is one of the most amazing cultures to have existed, I only wish for your culture to thrive as much as it deserves. Your ancestors and people are so beautiful
He would be so grateful and humble having Polynesian blood himself. Always proud and respectful of our heritage
Jason is the only one who gets this type of reception. I love that there has been so much more recognition of the culture. I love seeing these videos.
Sorry I just have to clarify, did you mean he is the only one who understands this kind of reception?
Coz maybe he's that one Hollywood celebrity who's sharing the culture out there.
I'm pretty sure the royals get this type of reception also. King Charles will get it again when he comes to NZ.
So Awesome of them to Greet Him with such a wonderful Greeting..
@Kathy Hunt Thanks for your love and support towards me ❤. Nice to meet you and where are you chatting from ?
So crazy how Jason is such a huge fan of our people and culture. There will always be that special connection he’ll have with all of us.
A pōwhiri (called a pōhiri in eastern dialects, and pronounced [ˈpɔːʔwiɾi] in the Taranaki-Whanganui area) is a Māori welcoming ceremony involving speeches, cultural performance (i.e. The Haka), singing and finally the hongi. The traditional Māori greeting, the hongi (Māori pronunciation: [ˈhɔŋi]) is performed by two people pressing their noses together; some include, at the same time, the touching of foreheads. The greeting is used at traditional meetings among Māori people, and at major ceremonies, such as a pōwhiri. It may be followed by a handshake.
Such a beautiful tradition! I'm SO happy it's revered by the people and being kept alive!!! ❤
I love maori culture, they preserved traditional architecture 'marae', clothing, art, craving and tradition, same with Hawaiian, Samoan, Tongan and Fijian, Bure and Fale architecture, the temple 'polyneisan marae' or 'heiau' similar to Indonesian and Malaysia temple 'step pyramidal temple' like 'Candi kethek', Candi Cetho', Candi sukuh, Borobodur in Indonesia and Candi Batu Pahat in Malayisa,. i also learn about others austronesian group in Indonesia and Malaysia, Javanese architecture 'rumah Joglo', Minangkabau 'rumah gadang', Malays 'Balai Adat Melayu' and many more, Balai/Bahay/Bale/Bure/Fale/Hale have same roof for 'house, hall and building'.
Arohamai I just have to add the Northern iwi who drop the W.
Thanks very much for this explanation!
What an honour to be greeted like that…
Now that’s a greeting!!! 😍🙏🏽❤️
This is a grand expression of welcoming, love, and appreciation. I got very emotional just watching it.
This was an outstanding presentation, in a bid to reverence their heritage in this modern world! BRILLIANT!!!❤️
How blessed are we that we get to witness such a beautiful greeting. My heart was touched even though I couldn’t understand the words. 🙏🏻💜
Same here am also touched by the warm welcome even if i dont understood their language.
Correction to my message. I dont understand instead of understood. Thanks.
What a beautiful welcome! And he is so respectful ❤️
Far more patient than I would be after a long flight in an airport but it was a beautiful presentation.
The one celeb who I believe is deserving of the powhiri❤❤❤
What a welcome, I am sure he is very honored. I always cry when I hear/see these tribal displays. It has something that speaks to our souls. I don't think its a race thing it speaks to the heart of who were were when our peoples were also still tribal. I am Irish and we have some songs left but not much of my tribal history remains. The tribal part is sadly lost to us now but the instinct remains. I am grateful that we are still blessed with tribal peoples and have the opportunity to hear this soulsong.
I know exactly what you mean
I instantly began to tear up upon the beginning of this ceremonial greetings. Such a beautiful honor this is🥰
Powerful, now if we could only give Native Americans this kind of respect. How can you not love living in Pacific region? Mahalo for your beautiful greeting.
So sad that The Native Americans , a true, old , native people of their own kind have been stripped of that regard and respect just because they were exposed to white races back then .
What an honor he was shown to get such a greeting along with a blessing. ❤
Being of both kanaka and maori decent i love this as our people are still voyaging to and from each other like our ancestors before us!
Love how they welcomed their Pacific brother back home 💚
I absolutely LOVE these beautiful displays of culture. It is truly amazing to see. THIS is one hell of a welcoming party!!!! Jason Momoa is a VERY beautiful man inside and out and I am sure he was very honored by this display of Maōri culture.
Whats cool is he just gets that greeting on arrival and doesnt need to seek out a "cultural experience". And he loved a good haka. 😉
Tumeke Maori tumeke. Beautiful welcome to country powhiri and a humble and welcoming haka chant and prayer to our ancestors of Aotearoa New Zealand and Samoa and America where Momoa's whanau aka family resides. Deeply spiritual welcoming. All the best Jason mamoa and enjoy your stay on the land of the long white cloud. #MANA #KIA KAHA #RANGATIRA = #RESPECT & #STAY STRONG #CHIEF. POLYNESIA TO THE WORLD!. Much Aroha and Jah Bless from a Maori living burncity aka Melbourne, Australia.
Māori people are lovely. One of my favorite places I had visited so far. When the world goes insane (insaner) it’s where I’ll hide. If there I’ll find my ending will be a great ending.
Woww what a greeting from New Zealand!!! So much respect
A wonderful reminder to me that I ought to take greater care to know and pass on to my children the rich family history of our ancestors: Cherokee, Irish and Norwegian. This was a beautiful outpouring of respect. 🤙
This is so beautiful, these traditions should be safeguarded at all costs, these should be passed on to next generation. These are cultures that are the oldest, closest to nature and god. No amount of science discovery holds parallel to the secret knowledge of the universe, that these wonderful people hold. I pray to the Universe, may their time come to shine again..... 🙏
👏🥺🌏🙏
Chicken skin, As he is there to film a Native Hawaiian series, This is so great, Māori is like Hawaiians closest cousins, This will definitely give him a lot of inspiration for that film
Norwalk, Iowa is so proud of this actor! This is such a fantastic cultural event to be worthy of too. Nobody ever welcomed me like this either.
Everything is Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
AWESOME 👏 Keep this WONDERFUL culture and heritage alive!! It’s ABSOLUTELY beautiful ❤
I swear, that Maori tribal dance is the coolest thing any culture in the world does.
The honi after she puts the necklace on him is so sweet ^^
We must remember who and what we are❤
Oh I love Maori culture! I don't know why I'm so drawn to it even though I'm African. I praying to find a Maori man to love so he can teach me about this beautiful culture. I want a child with this beautiful heritage ♥️
Come to our country and you’ll find them everywhere 😉😂
Beautiful. They knew he keeps the traditions.
Beautiful. I can feel the energy. Amazing welcome.
Our spirits are all connected!💕
I am emotionally moved by what I am seeing!!!!!
All I can think is take your hands out of your pockets and take your hat off lol. Not something you would think about during such an emotional experience. Awesomeness he's worthy of such a greeting no question
Whatever
Of all things you could think of? it's his hat on his head and his hands in his pockets. He's a mortal, not a God. Don't you think he might be hungry, tired and in need of a hot shower after a 15 hour flight. Although he is humble and appreciative of such a heartfelt greeting, he isn't the type to stand on ceremony. Being a free spirit is part of what makes him unique and so well loved.
Outstanding & amazing!!!!!!
So proud of our people, 💕u what a welcome. 🙏🌏🕊️🎡🎇
A great honour indeed.
This is one of the longest chants that I’ve seen he’s gonna be there all day😂
In compare with so many hours at your phone or computar
...come on . .respect!!! This is pure gold
That is so beautiful and humbling! Wiw!
@Elizabeth suggest Thanks for your love and support towards me ❤. Nice to meet you and where are you chatting from ?
We all feel a connection because our ancestors all started off as tribes ppl before colonization and migration. They’re were ceremonies for births, deaths, welcomes and goodbyes. We lost all tradition and culture well the folks in USA but we still love to hear chants and drums it just soothes a part of our soul we have neglected for centuries! This was a beautiful thing to see and hope that the next generation can hold right to these traditions for our future sake!
👏🥺🌏💗🙏
Thank you Jason Mamoa for uplifting your CULTURE.
I'm crying, I'm not even Maori.
Welcome to Aotearoa Mr JJ enjoy your time here be safe.
I have always felt a deep connection to the Mallory. And cry when I see and hear and feel the traditional songs
A great honour ❤️🔥
Im happy to see you in home aloha !!🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
How very BEAUTIFUL. Different Cultures are an amazing thing & gift to the world....🙏
It always gives me shivers when I watch The Haka being performed. I want to come to NZ and experience your blessed culture ❤️❤️ thank you
Beautiful 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
WHAT A WELCOME! ❤️
He's the best!!
Civilization is measured in the ability to understand how much Maori culture can teach us to live respecting and protecting Nature. This is called Evolution of Thought or True progressive thinking. I am proud of being a Kiwi. Love and Respect always ❤
Finally touched down in Aoteoroa
awesome welcome Jason!!
So beautiful!
Just beautiful!!!
Being of Māori descent, I love how our people have managed to preserve our culture even after people tried so hard to wipe us and our language, out
Tihei Mauri Ora! 😛
May Jah’s blessings rain down upon you and your loved ones forever…I envy and admire the Maori people at the same time…Many of my ancestors were lost on the voyage of no return during the Atlantic slave trade…Only the toughest and strongest among us survived…Jah’s blessings to the Maori warriors forever and ever…
Such a gorgeous culture. ❤
I'm always fascinated by their cultures honoring one another. Brings me to tears by the heart and passion put into it...
Spectacular! What an honor indeed
I'm sure he appreciated such a wonderful greeting but he probably just got off a 15 hour flight and just wants to find his hotel room.
@Linda Coyne Thanks for your love and support towards me ❤. Nice to meet you and where are you chatting from ?
I highly doubt it. He understands our culture. Embraces it even. So this would be awesome for him. Something certain people do not understand
I love seeing Jason. He needs to be seen more.
Love my moari ppl so bless you have them in my life and family
I believe they were truly happy to see him.
Such a Beautiful Greeting ❤🙏🌍 for Jason Mamoa Ausome Dancing Of Culture xx
He took his hat off. Respect. 💯 love seeing ppl greeted like this!!!! The Maori culture is so beautiful
Āe mārika , the bro was speaking Õlelo Hawai'i and Te reo Māori in that opening speech. Haramai tētahi ahua 👌🏾
I only heard Te Reo
Gave me the goose bumps. That energy !!!!
I wonder what time it was?
How long was the flight?
This seem a bit long, maybe it shudda been scheduled
If he came from LA, it was about 12 hours. If it was United, it leaves LA 10 at night arrives in NZ 7 am their time. I've worked it many times so I know he was tired. But he still seemed respectful and appreciative. he seems cool
As a native maori wahine i am so glad he received a greenstone taonga ... Not many celebs who are welcomed here are gifted different Taonga so thats very special
Kia ora koe....welcome to my country AOTEAROA...
Why do I always get goosebumps when I hear haka
I WOULD LOVE TO CONNECT AND THE WAY OF LIFE AND HERITAGE OF OUR NATIVE COUSINS IN THE U.S.A. SO MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT TO ALL OUR NATIVE COUNTERPARTS OF THE WORLD.
Welcome home brother..
What a powerful, blessed, beautiful greeting ! Thank you Jason for being so respectful!
You can feel the mana emanating from these powerful warriors!!
I hope he was AWARE of this honor . Love New Zealand
That was an incredible gift! Very cool!
Next time this wholesome welcoming tradition happens to JM, am pretty sure he will be prepared and will show "You're welcome" by doing the same tradition.
Why would he? This isn't the 1st time he's been welcomed to nz and it's not his first powhiri he hasn't done anything back now or then so why next time?
What Heritage is all about.
We are all one people of earth.
BEAUTIFUL And POWERFUL!! 🌹🌹🌹
He is a decent of our Tipuna we are also part of the Polynesian linkage and our Tipuna did have connections to the Pacific Islands such as the likes of Hawaii Rapanui(Easter Island) Tahiti Rarotonga ( Cook Islands) and our main Kainga Hawaiki Nui so in my honest opinion I don't mind this powhiri it's our on Chur 😁💯👊
Exactly your colonists.
@@calikiwi Huh? 🤷
The Pacific triangle: Hawaii, Rapanui and Aotearoa. They're our closest whanau (not forgetting Tahiti and Rarotonga of course)! 😊💪 💕
Always love n impress by still practicing tradition, love to learn more about nz traditions
The Power to Tribe. Beautiful.
This language is beautiful!
What a sweet welcome!
Nau mai haere mai e hoa, please visit Ngawha Springs in the Bay of Islands...its a beautiful taonga from our tupuna steeped in cultural history. Kia ora!
So awesome to see you here in our tiny piece of paradise Jason Mamoa such an honour for our people an a great inspiration to the our children hopefully we will see more of you around the place as you visit our whenua because I want to be there to shake your hand would be such an hour kiaora ehoa kiakaha
The warrior of warriors
