I am very disappointed in the actions of some people's comments on here, it show's a great lack of respect for what people believe in and where they are from whether it be by birth or by heritage, if you do not like the video or the comments other small minded little piece's of crap have made then don't respond and leave my page. I don't come and deface your video's and crush something that you are proud of so don't do it to mine.
if you think Americans don't embrace its Indigenous peoples then you are the ones propagating the hate, I am an American Indian and All that know me respect my culture, and respect me as a person, only those that say that Americans don't respect other races or peoples see the racial hatred in their eyes because of the racial hatred they see in them selves........you wanna stop racism, stop flippin talking about it! Period!
+David De Bergh The closest thing I can compare it to would be the silent drill teams in the military. Even then, it's a pretty big difference in style and execution.
ReignCharger lol they love throwing that shit out to trigger white guilt. They fail to realize that almost everyone in the states more than 3 generations have some native blood in them.
Thank you for your comments, i really appreciate them. Though i was born here in Australia i am still very proud of my heritage like most people are regardless of their nationality. I was very grateful to be able to witness such an amazing show of pride and patriotism from the Maori people.
Maori people are one of the best races of people in the world I am not maori but I have maori cousins they are the most kind and beautiful people I know and wish I was maori and would love to go to new zealand love from australia
I lived in Brooklyn at the time of the World Trade Center bombing, I had friends that I previously worked with there. I never knew or really understood global prayer until now. I am sharing this on facebook to let others see that we are not alone we have each other. Thank You.
I find these amazing, the passion is phenomenal, I would love to see this in person one day, if they can move emotion like this on a recording, in person must be overwehlming
Thank you for performing such a haka on the 10th anniversary of 911. It's humbling to see the world show such signs of unity. Much respect to you from the United States!
nope, you'd be surprised as to how many new zealanders moved to aus, if all the nz'ers came back from aus, we'd have way more than 4mil people living n nz
@@buckbeak1699 it's the exact same with Scotland, apparently there's well over 20 million scots living outside the UK, and Scotland itself has 5.5 million people
I live in Hawaii born and raise, I like watching this kind of things and others might find it funny and some don't.......and I find it fucking bad ass.... awesome shit.
+Daffmeister187 I have plenty of viking Heritage from both sides of my family, every person in my family that I've known has had blue eyes. I was born and raised in New Zealand though. I hope one day to return back to scandinavia, NZ is great and all but the Maori's can be an ignorant bunch until you remind them who's toughest.
@ljkennedy1 is that localmaori leading? and was this for the NRL grand finals or something? looks like him lol. i was proud to do the haka at home in bed while they were doing it at the stadium at the game aye.. hes a true leader! mad respect to him. i know for sure others were doing the haka at home while watching it too.
All rude, derogative and nasty comments have been removed and any subsequent comments of this nature will also be removed. It is disgusting behavior and you's call yourselves adults.
Much respect from Hawaii! This gives me the ULTIMATE chills! Words can't describe how amazing this is! The Haka is an awesome tradition in the Pacific!
Was there a purpose behind this performance? Can't help but notice the date. I'm not Maori, Australian born Pakeha- but I have a deep love for Maori culture, and no matter how many times I see a Haka performed, I shed tears every time at the fierceness, strength and beauty of the ritual. Seeing it performed on this kind of scale is phenomenal. Thankyou for sharing it with us!
Pretty sure there will be someone who would teach you. Some would be offended but it isnt their choice...I knew a young scottish boy who spoke fluent Maori purely because he loved our culture. Some were offended but many were heartfelt as this young man put his heart and soul into a race not of his own, knew more about it than many Maori alive today.
MEAN MAORI MEAN! This was AWESOME!! Who cares what it was a publicity stunt or a tribute it was AWESOME!!! Get over yourselves if you didn't like it..... Don't watch the bloody thing! I posted it on my Facebook for everyone to get some good vibes from!!
Much thanks should go to the local Aboriginals for giving us the blessing and allowing us to perform the haka on their land. Don't forget this is not our country, it's Aboriginal country . Much respect to them.
Tino pai!! When I see our brothers and sisters performing the haka, I know the blood running thru they're veins is Maori, our pride and mana stands out loud and clear. Kia kaha, he tangata, arohamai.
This ain't a flash mob - flash mobs are random and unexpected and they were waiting for an "aborigine" to lead the haka! What is up with that? Still loved the haka afterwards though. @GusE96 ...because the Haka originates from New Zealand not Australia?!
I know it wasn't a flash mob, it was meant to be but you can see by the sheer size of the crowd that there was no hope in h@#l that they were going to be able to pull off a completely random and unexpected flash mod, especially when the news cameras and the police turned up....
@KiwiNzz So what!...As long as you know what its all about..Who gives.. Is attention a bad thing bro? Once were warriors,now lets build arab temples everywhere...People need to stick together,otherwise 'Allah' will rule the world. Peace out...
theres more people here than in a sydney rugby league game. good on the kiwi's for showing sydney people what a real crowd looks like. maybe they'll start getting more than 10 000 people to watch their games.
For the WORLD to see!!! LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT RACES IN THERE!! Every land and its people have problems.....BUT something unites you that you do not realize is there!!.....Let KIWIS teach you! JUST AWESOME!
Was the flash mob to respect those who died in 9/11? I don't understand why Kapa o Pango was performed though. It's a haka that was created specifically for the All Blacks. Kapo o Pango literally means team in black. Perform Ka Mate, sure. Doing Kapa o Pango is just a bit odd.
Thats the good thing about our Taha-Maori no one can take it away,And we don't answer to no body,but our Iwi. Those outsiders just don't understand. Maori have held what so many other cultures of the world have lost forever, their true way of life. So many have settle for a western life style maybe going to church is a far as their culture allow then to go. So when they see Maori,They havent got nothing like that.
Ano! What ive noticed is tha regardless of wats been say'd, the numba of viewers/subscribers is wat counts the most!!! Ive read hundreds of comments; heaps of positive1s, some negative1s, nd the odd disgusting-filthy1s: Hey! People comment, others respond? This is the beauty of a social hub but, it could also be the demise of a channel? This would depend apon the uploaders reason 4.publicising their vid clip, e.g. 2be recognised or, 2.redicule/hat. 2share a gr8 moment or, 2expose say abuse. Ae!!
Dammn, im trying 2get off this channel cause my Maori blood wont let me nd my Irish blood needs 2argue with mmyy Irelandor cuzzin!!! Nah! Nemine, cause then i'll be no betta than he or, she by dissing on my own rallies eh! Nah! Best not, for all i know the name Irelandor could be a nom-de-plume nd boom! I'll have the IRA on my doorstep; hell no thanx! Nah! Instead, i'll just keep txtng my mamae/hurting thoughts on this comment page until i run out of space nd just humm the haka tune to myself...
LjKennedy you done a gr8 job recording this precious 'Tikanga Maori-KapaHaka' flash-mob performance; Sydney Australia. That was an amazingly large crowd of people nd im thinking that they were not all Maori but, were interconnected by some invisable cultural thread that brought them en-mass to this place for a specific purpose? To tell us, their people at home that they are safe, well, happy nd miss us like crazy!! Personally, i just want them 2come hoommee :'( :'( :'( Kia Ora, luv u ljkennedy1
Gosh people need to get over themselves. All the maori people ive met have been kind and havent been arrogant at all. Just because they like to celebrate their culture. How is it different from aussies celebrating australia day or singing the national anthem?? it isnt. So get over yourselves people. BTW i am an aussie and think nz's are awesome. They celebrate their culture and its an amazing spectacle to watch :)
Love this and all forms of pride for ones own country... Although as ashamed as I am about the few shit stirring Aussies (and others) disrespecting the Haka, it's sad to see how much hate the Maori people still have against the 'white man'.I know the history and realize alot of shit went down not so long ago to ancestors but don't expect respect from others when you give non. ..... Just saying....
Hmm...dont get me wrong, every time I watch the Haka I get chills. There is a feeling that cuts to the core of some kind of...unity of purpose or unity of will. But I don't think I felt that way for this video or any of the other flash mob hakas because of that lack of purpose. Alls I get is the felling that a buch of people find that it might be fun to yell real loud and slap their foremarms haha! No denying it looks like fun though!!
I don't care if you hate black people, brown people, green people, whatever. It really doesn't matter. Because whoever you are, if you're face to face with a group of large Maoris doing a haka, it's pretty fucking intimidating. Remember, these are people who were forced to change their haka to something less mean-looking because it was scaring the shit out of other rugby teams. Look up the old haka the All Blacks used to do. It's fucking murderous.
Their national pride is just stunning. Would love to be part of that culture.
I'm definitely proud to be of this culture
You have to be proud of Your own culture. That's What they do. For example i am colombian and i'm proud.
how could you not be it's Pablo escobar's home country!!
Do the Haka at your Place
+herxin sciberras He's Colombian

Im an uncultured swine but the Haka hits deep, most of them almost make me cry.
It gets me everytime... Even tho I don't understand what they're saying I can feel the power throughout my body.
Power of the haka girl. Sends chills through out ya body
Lara Glvs yup that's what it's meant to do
💗
its good to embrace indigenous cultures like nz did. i wish australia and america did too
100% agree
That will never happen, they are in a culture of of their own, you know what I mean.
Some American indigenous tribes do embrace Haka, it will take awhile for rest of us to catch up.
Raz Kennedy you mean you are in a culture of your own😂😂😂😂
if you think Americans don't embrace its Indigenous peoples then you are the ones propagating the hate, I am an American Indian and All that know me respect my culture, and respect me as a person, only those that say that Americans don't respect other races or peoples see the racial hatred in their eyes because of the racial hatred they see in them selves........you wanna stop racism, stop flippin talking about it!

I'm American and oh my lord that was amazing, wish we had something like this
+David De Bergh The closest thing I can compare it to would be the silent drill teams in the military. Even then, it's a pretty big difference in style and execution.
We can shoot our guns into the air
yeah sadly your ancestors wiped pretty much any native culture off your continent!
No they fuckin didn't. We are still here
ReignCharger lol they love throwing that shit out to trigger white guilt. They fail to realize that almost everyone in the states more than 3 generations have some native blood in them.

rip those who died in the world trade center and mean maori mean

From California, I thank you and I love you. ❤
Man u cant just feel the adrenaline rush just by watching this. KiwiNation all day, were gonna go hard in this years world cup. Look out world
I dare you to walk in there and tell them the All Blacks suck haha
I lived in Brooklyn at the time of the World Trade Center bombing, I had friends that I previously worked with there. I never knew or really understood global prayer until now. I am sharing this on facebook to let others see that we are not alone we have each other. Thank You.
Margaret Carrube Our NZ POLICE performed a Haka at ground Zero in New York paying respect to all.
Thank you from Wisconsin, USA. That was beautiful.
After 3:15 when mixed with woman's voices it sounds even etter !
CharlesFBronson the girls do the kapa haka and the boys do the haka
CharlesFBronson that’s the crowd saying it with them..... that’s massive disrespect
@@tarksgaming6385 how's it disrespectful?
Hearty my brothers!!! KIA KAHA KIA MAIA KIA MANAWANUI!!!! Tena koutou, Tena tatou
The Haka always blows me away... I always look forward to watching the All Blacks performing the Haka before their games...
I find these amazing, the passion is phenomenal, I would love to see this in person one day, if they can move emotion like this on a recording, in person must be overwehlming
For sure. As a kiwi away from home it brings tears to your eyes. And its incredibly powerful to witness live
Awesome keeping our culture alive no matter where you are. Felt the ihi whanau.
Makes you bloody proud to be a KIWI.
the tribute to the 911.
Thank you for performing such a haka on the 10th anniversary of 911. It's humbling to see the world show such signs of unity. Much respect to you from the United States!
some of my friends are Kiwis and ive had Kiwi SAS lads serve with me big respect ...a british soldier
Amazing power coming from this. I've trained in Martial arts for 14yrs and never felt the energy this gives off. Respect.
PROUD TO BE NEW ZEALAND BORN AND RAISED!!!
Chur bro!
chur the bro! lol

Haha MEAN MAORI MEAN!
Esotericreation1618 YEEHAA!!! MY MAORI!!!
Amazing. Wonderful. Powerful
Keeping the Kiwi spirit alive all over the world! XD iltsm
Amy Utting .The kiwis are the best....!!!!!!!!!!!
this just shows how many of us leave and go to Aussie
Proton Phoenix Id say a good portion were born in Australia tbh
because we got no more houses lol
nope, you'd be surprised as to how many new zealanders moved to aus, if all the nz'ers came back from aus, we'd have way more than 4mil people living n nz
@@buckbeak1699 it's the exact same with Scotland, apparently there's well over 20 million scots living outside the UK, and Scotland itself has 5.5 million people
Why can't we all be Maori? What an amazing culture!
I love it when the women are involved to. So much more intense! :))
i m from india and i live in australia. kiwis are 100% awewsome. they respect every one, and call every one as bro. cool guys. love NZ
I live in Hawaii born and raise, I like watching this kind of things and others might find it funny and some don't.......and I find it fucking bad ass.... awesome shit.
I love to see this ritual, it is the extraordinary thing I've ever seen, and I'm from Germany :D
kia ora to the elderly aboriginal gentleman that got em cracking...tautoko....nga mihi nui kia koe..unkle...
That's Uncle Max.
how can u hate on this..this is epic...im from Philadelphia and i had the pleasure to meet some kiwis that were in town..they were cool as shit...
I wish we had something like this in Norway...
+Daffmeister187
We have our Viking inheritage id say that is plenty consdering just how feared they where.
Sure, but no way to 'practice' it in a cool way like this.
+Daffmeister187 Reenactment bro. Nothing like learning to wield and actual sword and shield as our Scandinavian ancestors would have.
+Daffmeister187 I have plenty of viking Heritage from both sides of my family, every person in my family that I've known has had blue eyes. I was born and raised in New Zealand though. I hope one day to return back to scandinavia, NZ is great and all but the Maori's can be an ignorant bunch until you remind them who's toughest.
+Daffmeister187 By the way, Maori's are basically Polynesians who used Viking/Scandinavian technology for navigation etc..
Do you have to be from like New Zealand to do the haka
Absolutely inspirational, so much passion and heart. Loved it!
That sounds scary in a beautiful way
In the West we've been conditioned out of National & Cultural Pride!
sydney haka? since when u ok with oceanic?
i like it tho
I’ve always loved the Native American dancing and signing! Now the Haka takes my breath away! There’s such power in their words and movements!
How come that video was uploaded on the 10th of september when the performance was on the 11th of september.. that does not make sense
International date line. It was already the 11th in Sydney, but where the sever is located at, it was still the 10th.
This is why New Zealand keep on kicking our arses at rugby - this is 110% awesome.
Respect from the UK.
I really like that HAKAS greeting from Germany! :P

I love how the Aboriginal Australian welcomed the display.
Why dont you guys do this in NZ, we could do with this in Christchurch everyday. never see it here except for Rugby matches.
multiny on the bounty
brilliant video
respect from canada
Speechless. Amazing!!!🙏💯♥️
Proud maori right hea ngati porou /tainui
Mean maori mean
I would like to ask a kiwi. . is it ok for an Aussie to do the haka?? or is it an insult if i do it??
Thank you from the family of FF Tomas Casoria FDNT Eng.22
@datmaoriguy I'm an aussie in nz watching this =D lol
Great!
Respect from Brazil.
Tino pai!! When I see our brothers and sisters performing the haka, I know the blood running thru they're veins is Maori, our pride and mana stands out loud and clear. Kia kaha, he tangata, arohamai.
It broke my heart to see it end so soon; this grand haka should have gone on for about an hour as a somber tradition
Now I want to learn the language and the dance , the energy is so contagious, hope this culture passes on time
Gets my adrenaline flowing every time I hear it. Respect.
holy shit
Love how the women are chanting along as well :) Primo stuff!
You guys should do this again.. Amazing :)
Im a Welshman and I absolutely love The Haka, i could never get sick of watching it. To see the intensity is amazing!!
What a wonderful performance. I wish that I had been there to see it all
This is awesome, wish I was there to witness it!!
@DefSweater XD
I love Haka AND flashmobs
This ain't a flash mob - flash mobs are random and unexpected and they were waiting for an "aborigine" to lead the haka! What is up with that? Still loved the haka afterwards though.
@GusE96 ...because the Haka originates from New Zealand not Australia?!

Wow, thats amazing..

What Haka is this? I don't mean to sound ignorant, or disrespectful, but is this a more generic/widely used Haka?
For the WORLD to see!!! LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT RACES IN THERE!!
Every land and its people have problems.....BUT something unites you that you do not realize is there!!.....Let KIWIS teach you!
JUST AWESOME!
The fella on the left,in the red,when the Haka starts,two boomerangs...Abo?? You fella come from ere,ey..
V commercial Haka..
@djislandz Pride comes back to fighting for our land..When Australia is beat,i hope it is only eva by our island friends in NZ.
chur fellas...from an aussie
Love that there're still people who appreciate cultures
and hate how there're so many ignorant/racist trolls

I woulda dud the Haka too,so where uz mah fush tucket bra?No fush,No Haka.. JKS V nice Everybody ;)
@paddless thats kind of unfair to say considering nearly every country is racist to one another. . :L
hahaha the Palagi fellah at the front with no shirt just killed it. lol
Who needs a Gun when you have HAKA. HALF OFTHE SOLDIERS WOULD RUN AFTER WATCHING THIS.Love from NEPAL.
Was the flash mob to respect those who died in 9/11? I don't understand why Kapa o Pango was performed though. It's a haka that was created specifically for the All Blacks. Kapo o Pango literally means team in black. Perform Ka Mate, sure. Doing Kapa o Pango is just a bit odd.
