  • “We perform haka as an expression of pride,” says Karl Johnstone. Kapa haka, a traditional Māori posture dance, “was about not only intimidating the opponents, but it was about how do we actually prevent degenerating into a battle?” he says. “Haka is all about the expression of your inner energy. The shaking of the hands,” says Johnstone, “that’s an expression of our life force … it’s showing that there’s an energy within you.”
    Watch New Zealand’s Tuku Iho Living Legacy perform kapa haka at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.

I mean say whatever you want to flatter people to fit in or feign cultural tolerance, but clearly this is not something that is kind, good or wholesome. My culture is not preferred by others, but I do not just take everything about my culture and just presume it's "beautiful" and moving. There is a lot of TERRIBLE aspects to our culture and that of those in this video. The fact that you label them victims in your mind and feeling compelled to then justify and glorify or glamorize everything that they want to do shows a lack of discernment. People who use emotions and not discern is not very wise.

    I love watching various Kapa Haka as they remind me of how beautiful NZ is, and I notice if you watch old footage they have evolved from when I was a kid. Way more refined now. This one is fantastic, but I hope these dances don't change too much more. The other thing that people probably don't realize is that the melody and music is mostly European. So the modern day cultural displays we see are a blend of Polynesians stylization that evolved especially I think from middle of last century (and previously through church music). ie Elvis Presley and 1950-60's fascination with Polynesian and Hawaiian culture etc. I would love to see a documentary on this topic, as it fascinates me. I have learnt several 'Maori' songs on guitar and sort of play them in that style of guitar strumming and sometimes feel guilty that I play them at all as I am Pākehā, and I know my chords feel like I am strumming something from Disney's Moana and not quite right.

      If kapa haka can reach into your being and sing the same song that your soul sings, then that is the highest compliment indeed to tangata whenua (people of the land).
      It shows you understand the interconnectedness of all nonliving and living to each other, papatuanuku (earth mother and her land, sea & forests) and to the planes of existence (the spiritual, the physical & the natural). We call this POV, te ao Māori.
      Dig a little deeper into your roots, perhaps you'll see how we're all interconnected in some way. ;-)

      Then you feel exactly what the haka is meant to help you feel and remind you of the interconnectedness of all nonliving and living beings to each other, nature, spirit and physical realms. And as one, we feel everything.
      The concept of mauri (life force) is felt when you see the hands wiri (fluttering hand movement) as they tap the astral line that connects us to our ancestors so they awaken and see us honour them, to mana (authority/power) in how we stand for our culture and people as a collective, protecting traditions but also adapting them to maintain the cultures survival, to tapu (sacred and restricted customs) that protect Māori knowledge, and wairua (spirit) that connects us all.
      I have no doubt that tapping back into your roots and your culture's dancing and singing traditions,will help you find all that you feel when watching kapa haka. And if not well then, māori is a collectivistic culture, it is more than accommodating in embracing those that embrace us.

    As a Scottish-American man that’s a retired US Army Infantryman, I respect warriors and the society that made them. The Māori are up on the same scale as the Sikhs and Gurkha warriors. If I had to fight them I know I had better do my job with no restraint. It’s my prayer and hope that the Māori keep their blood lines pure and pass in their legacy generation after generation.

      😂😂😂😂😂 You see one video and all of a sudden you place these people high up on a pedestal. Something for you:
      News 24 headline: "Shock over Maori infant brutality" They have been scalded, burned with cigarettes, raped, had bones broken and been beaten unconscious, sometimes to death. Horrific cases of Maori youngsters - some under two years of age - being tortured, abused and KILLED BY MEMBERS OF THEIR OWN FAMILIES Among the grisly headlines that have dominated the nation's media over recent weeks are stories of a 28-month-old Maori girl in a coma after suffering severe head injuries, a broken arm, cuts, bruises and cigarette burns over most of her body. The toddler's 52-year-old grandmother was being held in prison on assault charges. Police in the central North Island town of Carterton are investigating the death a week ago of 23-month-old Maori girl Hinewaoriki Karaitiana-Matiaha who was sexually abused, scalded with hot liquid and beaten before being taken to hospital by relatives. The child, who was put in the care of her grandmother by the Child, Youth and Family Service after consultations with the toddler's family just short of her second birthday, was dead on arrival at Masterton Hospital late on Sunday, July 23. And last week, a coroner in the east coast town of Tauranga found that two-month-old Marcus Te Hira Grey died from a brain haemorrhage following a severe beating by his father. These cases follow the recent release of a report into the gruesome killing last April of four-year-old James Whakaruru, beaten to death by his stepfather for failing to call him Dad. The stepfather had been jailed once for assaulting the boy, but the youngster endured a lifetime of horrific beatings, despite being under the eye of various child welfare agencies, and his hellish existence went unnoticed. The proportion of extreme cases of brutality towards children among the Maori population - which makes up about 15 percent of New Zealand's 3.8 million citizens - is far higher than for any other ethnic group.

      Something else for you:
      News from the Rotorua Daily Post:
      "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.

    I'm glad they teach ALL Kiwis about the Maori culture, not just the ones that are descendants from the three original canoes. Less chance of it dying out that way. The Welsh are doing the same, so that the language and culture of their country isn't lost. I wish that the USA would teach our First Nation cultures, stories and languages, there are so many! I was born on what would have been Pawnee land, raised on Apache land and finally settled in Kaw land. But the last of the recognized Kaw died a few years back, and now they are no more. The Ghost Dance has been forbidden for so long that almost no one knows it anymore. We need to throw appropriation out the window. Teach Truth to all that will hear. Let all that draw breath speak it.
