Man! Colonizers really did try to destroy any and every culture that was not like theirs! I’m glad the Maori culture and language survived!
Trump ancestors.....
Trump ancestors....
@Heir apparent You are Dumber stupid. It's not question of white!!! Many cultures are white but didn't kill people...
@Heir apparent they are Polynesian boy. They ain't white. Slept in your history classes or your curriculum had a wrong history as with the majority of the colonizers did.
It’s hard to come across a full blooded Māori many can’t even speak the language
My favourite part of this is the people going from performing their Haka, being loud and expressive even intimidating, then they start talking and they have the most polite and cheerful accent it's great
Maori have a thing called Kaupapa and Tikanga .... we are allowed to be who we are but we don't mess with things that are Tapu (sacred)
Thats kind of the point of many hakas.
it’s basically a traditional war dance, it’s meant to be intimidating :)
@@s0larbl1tz68 Indeed
That is our Maori people in a nut shell.. thankyou
i think maori culture is one of the most beautiful and unique cultures there is
@Andrew Dela serna what does colour have to do with culture
@keith wilson then get rid of your cell phone on your computer and get off UA-cam
All cultures are its all the things our people passed that have down to us father to son mother to daughter
Vice versa . that kept them alive gave
Meaning live understanding of the earth universe
Everything.. To help us so much lessons to learn frm our people that came before us... It's amazing be it good or bad

Hello! How can I get a Maori pal? I would love to meet someone online to talk about :)
You are so welcome
This is what colonizers said before colonizing. Thanks for opening your hearts and your lands, now we will take it by force lmao. Hypocrites
You are all welcome to Aotearoa, come and have a look or stay, we hope you enjoy your time here. We appreciate your journey here and offer our friendship and safety wherever you travel.

This reminds me of the Himba tribe in my country, despite colonization they language and culture mamaged to survive. I love exploring unique culture of the world. The Maori people are just beautiful 😍

Thanx much I bet your culture is just as beautiful
Where is the Himba tribe from?

New Zealand is my favourite place on Earth. Being born in Germany to a Canadian soldier stationed there was an incredible gift. My parents tell me that I made my first international trip at just 6 weeks, when my family went camping in the BeNeLux countries (Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg) Virtually every Sunday drive brought at least three new passport stamps. Of all of the countries I have visited, no place has ever had the impact on my soul that New Zealand has had. So profound is my sense admiration for the country and my love of its people, that if I could up stakes and move there, I would. In a heartbeat, and with zero regret. My fondest wish is for my last view of this life to be staged beneath the Long White Cloud. New Zealand is so much more than The Lord of The Rings. I must confess, though, that I discovered both LOTR and my family connection to New Zealand at roughly the same time. Probably made the cumulative effect much more profound, but I am in love with the place!
We will be waiting for your arrival my friend! We will welcome you with open arms. Kia Ora!

@@splash5150izy I actually loved NZ so much I applied for permanent residency!! This was way back when I was 24 and the immigration system works on a points-based system, so you get a certain number of points for being under 30 (because they want younger workers I guess?), a certain number for having a university degree, and then for every full year of work experience you have - you also get a bonus if you work in an in-demand field like healthcare. Unfortunately although I had a Bachelor's degree, I had only just recently graduated and so I'd only been out in the workforce for about 18 months so I lost a lot of points in that category. Long story short, the cutoff was 200 points and I scored 195. 😢 It would have been hard on my family moving so far away from them so I guess it worked out for the best, but at the time I was sooo disappointed.
I love Haka dance and maori cultures. ❤️ From Indonesia.

[Ngati Porou Nation Ki Te Rohe O Te Tairawhiti O Aotearoa]
I have something for you which you will like, Kathy: ua-cam.com/video/pcNWIBx2Elk/v-deo.html
Here in Tahiti we have a very different story about the name of Te-Ao-tea-roa. According to our traditions, this name comes from a very old story, which teach us that in the ancient times, it has been decided that the world should be divided in two main parts, by a meridian that cames straight in the middle of Havai'i (or Hawaiki for the Māori of Aotearoa), a land in the north of Tahiti who is now called Ra'iātea, the territories which laid in the east of that line has then been called, Te-Ao-uri, which means "The-dark-world", regarding those who laid in the western side of that line has been called Te-Ao-tea, or "The-light-world".
This system, which is therefore an innovation coming from the island of Ra'iātea, has been subsequently adopted by a large part of the Polynesian world, when Ra'iātea became the centre of the great Hau-Fa'atauaroha alliance, which united at the time most of the peoples coming from the Tahitian cultural area. This alliance is largely the work of one specifically ari'i or grand chief called Te-Fatu (or The-lord), coming from the island of Rotuma in the north-west side of the Tongan archipelago, he married a noble woman of Porapora (or Borabora as tourists call it !) whose name was Te-'ura (or the Red-one), and together they traveled to many of the Polynesian nations of the time, forging powerful bonds which led to the constitution of this alliance.
The names of the islands that were part of this alliance have undoubtedly not all been retained, but we still know some of the names. In the east of Ra'iātea, it's to say the islands of the Te-Ao-uri side were : Tahiti, Huahine, Maia'o, Rimatara, Tupua'i, Rurutu, Ra'ivavae and Rapa ; the weastern islands of the Te-ao-tea group were : Rotuma, Taha'a, Porapora, Rarotonga and of course (drum roll !).... Tadam ! Ao-tea-roa ! so you certainly noticed that in the name Aotearoa there is precisely the "Ao" and the "Tea" of the name Te-Ao-tea but where do the "roa" comes from ? Well, remember that these islands, at the time shared a common culture, and a common language, which logically is the protolanguage (ancestor language) of the Tahitian language, so in Tahitian "roa" means long, distant, far, et cetera... and since New-Zealand was the most remote land of the Hau-Fa'atauaroha union, and of the Te-Ao-tea group, naturally it came to be known as the "Distant-land-of-the-light-world", or Te-Ao-tea-roa.
I want to say that, of course, this is just one possible interpretation, but it is only by sharing our stories from all across Te-moana-nui-a-Hīvā that we will be able to unveil our true History, thus we can not just fall back on what we already know from the traditions of our own respective countries, we have to open ourselves to each grains of truth, that resides in ALL our stories throughout our region, we are all the children of the same people, we are the people of the Ocean. 'Ia ora
Kia ora e mara!
Your korero was very interesting and I like this version and find it more likely than what we were told....thank you for opening my mind further!
How interesting. Thanks for commenting. I must say this makes a lot more sense than some of the reasons for the name that l've heard. I'd also love to hear more about Te-'ura the Red-one. There is a history of red haired Māori in some tribes here. I'd love to know if that's why she was called Te-'ura and if there's some kind of genetic link back to her.
@@moziboy75 If we approach this with an open mind, it is quite possible that truth lies in both versions. After all, it is the same name but with 'roa' added to Tahitian version to indicate the great length of the new land
@@sampuatisamuel9785 tika

I found my way here watching a video of a Haka dance done by protestors in New Zealand for George Floyd. Much respect to another original tribe that the white man tried to oppress. They are still rich in their heritage and strong with their culture in spite of it all. Beautiful people , beautiful land and great documentary. 🥰

I personally enjoy learning about other cultures quite a bit. I don't have the money for such a trip right now, but once I do, perhaps I will take a trip to New Zealand.
I love how people can be so proud of their cultures and share with those who want to learn. thank you for this. I too am proud of my family roots and teaching my children the importance if culture, family and the earth who gives us what we need😍😍😍
I love the starting song it makes me feel sad. And also i'm Half Maori and half samoan
You have European blood too. Stop lying to yourself.
11:55 It's always annoying to hear "what's-your-aboriginal-blood-percentage" type questions. There is no such thing as a percentage of blood; there is only the culture, transmitted from generations to generations.
Facts bro. I hate that crap
@tupacamaru2 and that has to do with an intersectional analysis of the oppression an individual can withstand - which is absolutely pertinent - but not with culture per se.
Olivier Turner you don’t believe in DNA?
I’m half Maori my Dad is Dark people think he is Indian but I am white. people would tell me growing up that I wasn’t Maori enough until they saw my family 🤦🏻♀️

00:01:06 Owing to the wet climate of most parts of New Zealand, forest, scrub, and fern were the major plant coverings when European settlement began. Except in tussock grasslands, native grasses formed only a minor part of original vegetation. Early Māori voyagers would not have encountered grassy hills.
I loved watching the Hakka when I was young. I had no idea it was meant to be intimidating. I just thought it was wonderful to watch.
A documentary instead a travel guide/report. 👍
Interesting, new Zealand, Te Ika-a-Māui the North I understood. Apparently the Dutch Abel Tasman (the first European?) was there way ahead before Dutch Leki😀. The Maori know more about Abel Tasman than the average Dutch people.
Fun to see a Hakkah performance on a roundabout between traffic. I knew the term “hakkûh” as a certain soccer defence strategy “never mind the rules (and legs of your opponents)🤭😂. Perhaps there is a relation regarding the New Zealand “rugby’s “.
Tattoos all over the world, some very specific, like the Maori style as shown.
Interviews with the locals are very informative. Nice landscapes with relaxing music.
Haha Thnx Aad! We also know 'Hakkûh' as that crazy dance back in the '90s 😜

@Heir apparent well I don't know where you are from but none of my family or friends feel that way. You seem to want to stir up some racial shit here. Was wondering why.
Honestly as much as I, an outsider looking in, love New Zealand and Maori culture, I think the world should just leave NZ tf alone and let them be, so the incredible culture can remain strong.
How can it remain strong if we don't allow it to flourish. Btw, I'm Maori.
Beautiful work. God Bless.
I was born in 1950 and although both my parents were fluent Maori speakers, we were never taught because it was forbidden in schools and as a consequence, my generation lost the language. Thankfully, it has made a revival and today it is even a subject you can major in.
When I was in school maoris forced me to learn and speak the maori language. They also forced me to learn their song and dance.
