I'd only seen Haka on Rugby pitches... Never before had I seen it being performed as a way to pay tribute to someone... Made me cry. So, so beautiful and powerful...
Danilo Rangel there’s a great haka performed by I think the same school for a teacher who retired, the entire school hall plus upper circle at back perform. That’s something else entirely.
@@apomtaylor8054 I have realized it is a traditional cultural manifestation. Too bad I wasn't able to see the Haka being performed firsthand while I was in Auckland 15 years ago. That would've been incredible, I know. But I can say I do have profound respect for it.

You know what's cool. Most of those boys are European new Zealanders. Not Maori by blood at all. In NZ everyone knows their school haka. And other haka as well :)
some public schools do, in most bilingual is optional. Well it was in my day. Most New Zealanders do not practice tikanga and majority of maori do not speak their own language. I grew up in multiple communities where racism was an acceptable practice.
5 years later and still Freaking outstanding. One of the things that unites Kiwis abroad - when you hear the haka, you know your soul comes home to Aotearoa, New Zealand. Ive heard it in China, South Korea and even in Cambodia - it still makes me think of home. USA with the Patea Maori Club with Te Reo Maori songs became hugely popular, the All Blacks with their haka, Te Reo is huge in Europe now with Alien Weaponry making it big abroad and all our artists who proudly display their art regardless of which discipline. Good on you New Zealand, Keeping it Kiwi.
I'm from the UK, not sure how I got to this (You-tube surfing) but I am so glad I did. What an amazing tribute, I have seen the Haka performed on numerous occasions but never performed so passionately!!
Yo if i died and the community did this for me id feel like iv done my fare share in the society. that community shows they value each other what a nice tradition
How can anyone give o thumb down for this beautiful farewell?!?! This is so touching!!! What a special man he must have been. My condolence to his family and friends.
I'm sorry, dude or dudette, but a haka is not a haka without the screaming. The haka is supposed to psych up Maori warriors for battle and to give themselves mana (spiritual energy). A haka with no screaming in it is not a haka at all rather it's just a perversion. It'd be just a bunch of fools doing weird movements. You say it would be more formal without the screaming, that is absolute nonsense. I'm sorry, but it's true. Also, sometimes screaming and getting angry in a positive manner is probably one of the best ways to mourn. These kids are mourning the death of a beloved teacher. They're not going to cry (though I'm sure some of them did) but they're going to honor him in the best way NZ culture has. In summary, I think you're absolutely wrong in this scenario
madworldfan123 dude seriously it's a haka for a funeral it's not all about battle ur not obviously maori if u don't know the diffeence haka is for battle chants,funerals and for welcoming get ur facts straight
I think Hakka should be the world anthem. It will bring maturity sense of understanding and care to all human beings. This tradition is full of everything.
It's the light inside you it hears our voice It wants to wake up it wants to care it wants to show love it wants to do the things you don't do and that's the love for everything in life all around you that is why you shear tears
You guys will have made Jimmy so proud with that truly inspiring send off. Thank you for sharing this with the world so those of us on other side of the world get to feel part of something so special.
I truly believe that this very healthy commradery among men. They have a a support team to guide them and something to be proud of. A beautiful tribute.
@@SiggyCloud you are wrong there noway do the allblacks just do it for the cameras it's all black tradition n culture n they've done it for ova 100yrs respecting the players b4 them
WATCHING THIS, AND PAST HAKA, I AM REMINDED AGAIN, THIS IS NEW ZEALAND AOTEAROA. MANY FACES, ONE PEOPLE! AND PNBHS STUDENT PARTICIPATION DEMONSTRATES THIS. KIA KAHA KIA TOA.
Yeah I wouldn't recommend that m8. Yeah they organised this very moving haka but that isn't indicative of how the school actually functions. I went there and the teachers were toxic and racist af despite how much they seem to embrace multiculturalism. Their institution is still run by coloniser christian fundamentalism
Any chance of a version with subtitles and translation be much appreciated if anyone can give us the honour to acknowledge and extend our tautoko mo tenei kaupapa Kia ora if can But no dramas if cannot Chur
You should search "Te puru haka" Enjoy :) Then search national kapa haka competitions. There are so many other types of traditional song and dances also.
What’s fascinating is after that testosterone fueled display of raw masculinity, the quietly and efficiently and silently assume a disciplined orderly formation.
Bet you he's a fluent Maori speaker most priest in Aotearoa are. Whether; he like it or not is irrelevant; he took the challenge he stood his ground, and let it flow naturally insuring safe passage for all, In my own opinion, respect 💯👍❤
that would be cultural appropriation unless given permission from the local iwi and are taught it properly with the correct understanding and not because they think it "looks cool"

@@nickybluechips7567 I'll definitely search for it! Thanks!
@@MrMistermastermax rugby haka simply popularised the haka. We have been doing it in our schools for a very long time.

The way the leader slows it down then lets the boys unleash their emotion and passion is beautiful
Man made me want to do it...

We of Palmerston North Boys' High School stand steadfast
Within our Domain
Standing firm
Standing proud
Standing with respect
To uphold
To uplift
To uplift
To uphold
The prestige of our school
Our aims are to seek knowledge
And reach our goals and aspirations
Seek the horizon of aspirations
And draw near to it
Those aspirations that are near, take them
And it be known, yes, let it be known
Let your adrenalin abound high above
It is done!!!
Thank you for this
Really??
Where can I find the original lyrics for the haka?
where is the original lurics
Beautifully said!
I feel nothing but respect for the Maori culture and the people of New Zealand after watching this.
You know what's cool. Most of those boys are European new Zealanders. Not Maori by blood at all.
In NZ everyone knows their school haka. And other haka as well :)
Palmerston North doesn't have that high a Maori population
I went to a school where I was one of about 5 maori kids and even everyone in that primary school knew their local tribes haka.
some public schools do, in most bilingual is optional. Well it was in my day. Most New Zealanders do not practice tikanga and majority of maori do not speak their own language. I grew up in multiple communities where racism was an acceptable practice.
The energy in this haka is insane

Doing the haka makes New Zealanders special.
Doing the Haka makes everyone doing it feel as one
62 years old.I am trying to learn this culture, and haka who is very special for the world respect
Learning this is easy it's our human way. Very primitive. Go with it
You can hear the passion in every single student for their teacher. They should be proud of themselves.
Yo if i died and the community did this for me id feel like iv done my fare share in the society. that community shows they value each other what a nice tradition

and btw the war haka isn't for uping their mana it's to scare the enemy
@@solyhartley6266 Not entirely true. Every haka is intense. If you want to go watch some weak dance, you are looking at the wrong culture.
@@apomtaylor8054 Tuwharetoa te iwi Whanganui te awa and Rongatiro te manga i know haka
What a compliment, an act of utter respect for a man they obviously adored.
I think Hakka should be the world anthem. It will bring maturity sense of understanding and care to all human beings. This tradition is full of everything.
😮That will be so crazy good!!! The Universal Cry🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This HAKA has to be my favourite out of all of them! Mad respect to the bros at PNBHS
Imagine you are a British soldier sent to the ends of the earth and these people don't want you around. Then you hear this in the middle of the night.
Ask the Brits they tried the zulus when we didn’t want them around and we ate them at The Batle Of Sangwane. 🤷♂️😂
Boys! Unreal! From a Wellington boy who had lived in Brisbane the last 10yrs , you have made my homesick ! Chea!
No color or race boundaries,the highest and genuine respect one can do....OUTSTANDING. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪✨
Honestly, this got me in Tears. Respect All The Way From Me.
I cant stop to watch this.
Wow this is so emotional, my deepest condolences to his family and friends
So emotional, what a lovely send off, new Zealand is a beautiful race
I can’t explain the feeling I get when watching these
It's the light inside you it hears our voice
It wants to wake up it wants to care it wants to show love it wants to do the things you don't do and that's the love for everything in life all around you that is why you shear tears
You guys will have made Jimmy so proud with that truly inspiring send off. Thank you for sharing this with the world so those of us on other side of the world get to feel part of something so special.
No. Jimmy isn't proud. He is dead. He can't feel anything, he can't see anything.
Steven Scott stfu disrespectful piece of shit
God made me. He does not make pieces of "----".
You are, though.
Steven Scott he would be looking down on them from heaven so yes he would be very proud
What an honor 4 Mr. Jimmy Croswell's family 2 experience and witness!

I truly believe that this very healthy commradery among men. They have a a support team to guide them and something to be proud of. A beautiful tribute.
This is extremely personal, I can tell...
Oh yeh~ Unlike the all blacks who just phone it in for the cameras.
@@SiggyCloud you are wrong there noway do the allblacks just do it for the cameras it's all black tradition n culture n they've done it for ova 100yrs respecting the players b4 them
What a beautiful send off, now that's how I want to go!

Beautiful that
So sad and so beautiful Farewell...
Us children of New Zealand are built different❤
Nice jobs,thanks share
MY RESPECTS 👍🏼
With type of haka is this ? 🙏
I never herd of this but it’s cool to see the dance
Any chance of a version with subtitles and translation be much appreciated if anyone can give us the honour to acknowledge and extend our tautoko mo tenei kaupapa Kia ora if can

there is a comment somewhere here with the translation.
My sincerest condolences to the family & friends. Boys you did a fine job, I'm sure he'd have certainly been proud of the send off.
Imagine the aura in the atmosphere mean mana love your culture and respect it
I felt this haka maaaan respect
Does anyone have the lyrics of the haka? Thanks
RESPECT FOR THE MAORIS
You blokes are fuckin' legends.
R.I.P Jimmy Crosswell:(1944-2017)
I really wanna know what these words mean it!!!! And I swear to myself someday I WILL GO TO NEW ZEALAND!!!! WAIT IT ME!!!!
Add me on Facebook I'll help you.
Cant wait to see you. We are waiting :)
You should search "Te puru haka"
Enjoy :)
Then search national kapa haka competitions. There are so many other types of traditional song and dances also.
can someone tell me about this tradition and what they say? thank you in advance
I want an Haka funeral when I die
insane haka
now you know the difference between a challenge haka and a funeral one
Dit is de meest emotionele afscheidsceremonie ooit!
Respect MAORI🖤
Cultura Maori, the best
What’s fascinating is after that testosterone fueled display of raw masculinity, the quietly and efficiently and silently assume a disciplined orderly formation.
into the valley ride the 300
el HAKA me inspira
Aue!!!! Tino Miharo Koutou!!!
THATS WHAT YOU CALL MOTHERFUCKING HAKA BLLLAAAAAAA
2:34 In honor of Jimmy Crosswell who died of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in March 2017
boy they mean it dont they !!
To the 26 dislikers, i just wanna talk to them
Don't talk to kkk people they have no balls always hiding
Scary
Ancient Maori are proud of modern day New Zealand
A warning to the Gods that a good man is coming, and that they should let him in.
Rest in peace
Mean brothers
For a second im like "they look like angry dogs" and then i realised im from New Zealand 😂 chur to the farkin chu boys!
I’m wondering if the priest liked it or not
Bet you he's a fluent Maori speaker most priest in Aotearoa are. Whether; he like it or not is irrelevant; he took the challenge he stood his ground, and let it flow naturally insuring safe passage for all, In my own opinion, respect 💯👍❤
I would do the battle between a crowd of Men and Boys performing “Haka” and a crowd of Women and Girls performing “Un Violador En Tu Camino”
Dude, they're all roaring cause of how many they are
Exactly
Exactly
Whether there's 4 or 400, you still feel the same energy, hear the same pitch in the cries.. needs has nothing to do with it.
I would love to see US Marine infantry units perform this .....
that would be cultural appropriation unless given permission from the local iwi and are taught it properly with the correct understanding and not because they think it "looks cool"
Check out some of the NZ Military Haka . Quite a lot online to watch , farewells to fallen comrades , leaving posts to go home , welcomes etc .
They can eat you alive the passion is there to stand at all costs imagine what can happen when someone has so much passion and will power. 🤷♂️😂
Wish we had anything in the USA that honored our natives like this. Instead we treat them like absolute shit.
From aotearoa we know
Nga mihi nui PNBH nō Parorangi Hato Paora ob.
Ok~ For the Hord
that priest is at leas level 79 to face a crowd dancing haka
это что за протест
When I die, I don’t want a burial. I want a cremation and to pay at least one respect like the New Zealander’s do before that.
Lets go to war bby! 💯💪
