    BEAUTIFUL! I am a white woman from Michigan USA so as far from a Maori as you can imagine. EVERY time I see a Haka I am moved to tears. I dont know why, I do know Im not alone in that! Thank you for sharing this special time.

      Keyvah Grant all people's who feel as you do, are created by God. We are his children and all life is his. You might like to listen to the NZ national anthem the 6 min version. In God we live, in God honour. Much love from NZ AOTEAROA.

      I am also from Michigan originally. Moved to Florida in 2008. My grandson is a Staff Sargent in the USMC. We love watching HAKA. We say they are Maori Mariners. 😊

    The contrasts of the men doing the ancient Haka with ties and in suit shirts makes it even more impressive. It shows that this tradition will outlast time and space and as long as these people honor the traditions of their ancestors, their ancestors will never die. They are alive in every movement of these men.

      I'd be scared too. Maori's tradition implies the men can share the bride that first night. They seem quite enthusiastic about that.

      @x.Rhymiie.x 7 років тому +36

      chinato I don't know where you got that information from? I know pre European days the family were outside the door while they did their business, but what you claim is NOT a tradition, please don't tell me crap like that is on the internet.

    • @chinato
      @chinato 7 років тому +6

      Honey, I'm an antrophologist specialized in sex culture. You're talking about the ancient roman tradition of the "tholemaics" (i guess it would be said that way in english). The tholemaics were some chants that were sang by the family and drunken friends in front of the house while the bride and groom were consumating. Those chants took their name after the Talam/Thalam/Thalamus, meaning the "bed" where they had sex and so forth (as a curiosity, the brain region responsible of sleep and dream is called thalamus/hipothalamus because of the same very reason). But that were in the wrongly named by you "pre European days". That's nothing to do with the maori's tradition I talked about in my first contribution. If you don't wanna believe it because of your projecting your own sexual taboos in other cultures... suit yourself; but I should recommend you to have an open mind ;)

      When you specialize in Maori culture, then come back to me. From what I see you've specialized in readfin a whole lot of bullshit, as a Maori wahine myself there has never been anything of a sort.
      You know where you can shove your theory ;)

      @tjfiso6407 7 років тому +12

      "An official language is a language that is given a special legal status in a particular country, state, or other jurisdiction." Maori is an official language in NZ. That status is not dependant on how many people speak Te Reo.

    • @x.Rhymiie.x
      @x.Rhymiie.x 7 років тому +12

      Did you know that the people who choose what is compulsory in schools are the schools themselves? The people who were hit in schools for speaking Mãori back in the days are still alive. The fact that Mãori have persevered in keeping the language alive is astonishing and other cultures who have been through the same as we have are following the lead of Mãori. Until you understand the struggle. And do some research, since English, Mãori and sign language are all official languages of NZ. I suggest you just stop making yourself look like an idiot.

But if you get to know what they are saying, even you do not know actually know what they are saying, you will eventually admire their performance thru their action and intensity of facial expression, loud sound, and hand gestures. Truly amazing and impressive especially the Groom facing the Men exchanging words which I cannot comprehend but sounds amazing. Hearing this in a position of a Bride feels so greatly protected by Men. LOL! 💪💗
