- Interview with a young Maori woman, following in her ancestors footsteps, who performed the "challenge" to a British government during a formal Powhiri, or greeting ceremony. (If anyone has a more accurate description, please comment and help us get it right!)

How could anyone laugh at this? The Maori culture is so proud, courageous, and beautiful. Better to be friend to the Maori than opposed to them. These are such beautiful women, and the culture altogether is overwhelmingly inspiring.
I send love and respect from the United States.
My girlfriend is a proud Maori. I love her so much. She is by far the strongest person I know, this is a beautiful tradition and I hope it never dies. Respect to the Maori people. I love you Olivia.
Our women are strong our women are beautiful, I dont care if they stand in front , beside or behind me as long as they are always there, together we are stronger ..... pukana!!!!!!

Well done Maori woman. Your ancestors would be proud of you. Remain strong and be a leader of your people. From an elderly Australian man.
Women and children are the first to suffer in war. Women around the world will stand and fight and they should be able to. Viking women accompanied their men to fight. We have many graves showing this. We have many stories of women who were forced into battle. If there must be war let women be able to protect themselves. Where was it written they must cower and cry? Be strong and fight.
Bless you. I certainly don't plan on acting like a victim.
This is beautiful .
Yea there is tradition and there are times when the woman are needed to take the lead.
The Maori language sounds very cool, i wish to visit them one day
This young lady can do what ever she wants to do, she is great
This is awesome
So impressive to watch....♥ from South Africa.
I love that both māori men and women would fight with taiaha back in the ancient days
She's beautiful.
Fantastic powerful, keep it real. Bless your ancestors.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

How'd that go?
His Mom They'd probably laugh - a high pitched anime watching weeb trying to be scary
TheEnglishBear that's actually really mean
You'd probably scare them.
Sorry we missed this comment 8 years ago! We hope you made it through school.
A powerful society, with a rich and strong culture and people.
Before the pakeha came to Aotearoa wahine use to fight against other tribes (Iwi) when the Tane was out Hunting or fishing woman were left alone sometimes so they had to fend for themselves using Taiaha , Pouwhenua,
Patu-Mere, Kotiate, Wahaika, maipi Tewhatewha, anything they got there hands on so whoever thinks that wahine ain't suppose to do Mau rakau they don't understand Hine-nui-te-po and Hine-ti-tama she is the all powerful (Wahine - Atua)
Te Amo means I love you in Spanish. Most beautiful lioness! This is a woman!
Te amo means "I love you" in Portuguese lol... That said, Te amo, Te Amo :P
same in Spanish
Verdad :v
It's a dual meaning name. In Maori 'Te Amo' is 'The Pole' as in the tribal boundary points
Fuarr the wahine who started that tikanga in that hapu must’ve been one fierce woman. Respect 💯
Mean as alright, I was there too was the best marae welcoming I've ever been too. Awesome Tuhuru so beautiful I have so much love for Arahura. Much arohas to the bros Nelly and Mahana xoxox
Tena koutou Tena koutou Tena koutou Katura, it means hello hello hello to you all. plus i'm a Kiwi, so thanks to everyone in the comments saying our people are strong and beautiful

Shes like the Maori Rey from Star Wars.
That's amazing & cool...right on😀
I think I'm in love 😍
Fantastic!
SINISTER KILL You might be right but evolution is inevitable. Being Tuhoe I understand 100% that traditions and cultures are important. Tuhoe are probably one of the few that hold true to their tikanga. But even Tuhoe can't evade the momentum of evolution. People change and often their ideas change. What might be traditional to you and your Iwi can be completely different to another. Change and evolution is inevitable. There are many among Tuhoe who will hold fast to their tikanga and kawa. I am one of those people so I understand where you're coming from. The reality is and I am fully aware change will happen. If not in our generation the next. History already tell us this. Once upon a time it was a bad omen to have your photograph taken. Now our Tupuna photographs are adorned on our wharepuni walls. Prior to that they were represented by whakaairo. Practicality changed that. That's called evolution, change of one's ideology and beliefs. So I say hold fast to traditions and cultures for as long as you can but be know that change will occur. Evolution. Nga mihi i runga i te marietanga o taua nga uri whakaeke a ratou ma.
Tautoko Ngati Waewae !!
Wish we could do that in our iwi but we’d be Tapu as hell according to some people’s beliefs
She's beautiful
I love a this who cares what other people think male or female we can't live without one another we need strong woman and men to unite as one to much political bs making men and women fight stay strong my Maori brothers and sisters don't get brainwashed by politics love one another :-)
KIA KAHA KIA MAIA WAHINE TOA
Kai a ratou a Kati Waewae to ratou ake tikanga. Ko wai a matou ki te whakahe atu i a ratou ake tikanga hitori ranei?
Ngati waewae are the only iwis that let girls do the wero and North islands women did not do the wero back in the older days
check your facts again Khan. Take a look at Kahungunu what brother Paora Sharples has done. That young girl isn't the first and probably won't be the last.
Introduce me to such a woman please..
WHAT?? her name; is I love you= Te Amo in Spanish.
Hooyah!!
Love
mean!
Wahine Toa hard!
Nice
Cool as...
What have happened if she was challenged
Wahine....aroha pukana!!!
ill marry her right now!
Maori have always been about making things fair for everyone. The girls in the video i feel are too influenced by western type thinking where there is this need for "gender equality" and so push for things like this to be done. It's unnecessary, at least in the Maori world.
Maori women have always been warriors, they don't need to do things like this to prove their value as a woman. Maybe as an individual in modern society but certainly not as a Maori.
There were reasons Men played these roles in the past. If those reasons were understood then i don't believe this would be news worth telling.
It's cool though, i haven't seen it before. If she has what it takes to take on that role then of course she deserves to be there. But if it's about female pride? I think Ngati WaeWae need to take another look at that.
Mean Wahine Toa
huaarrraaaaa bune lan sjsjsjs onlarda o varsa bizde BORDO BERELİ var
I feel like the anchor could be hot...if he had a slightly nicer face
first of all Mauri women never did this
First of all its Māori not Mauri😂
first of all they're not called "Mauri"
Your not wrong
Heilove*
A warrior?
heavens above, what's this world coming to. First we have the pakeha come invade our Whenua then steal it for a mea price of a spoon and blanket, then Mike Tyson and Robbie Williams decide they want a tattoo because it looks good (neither understand nor respect the MANA behind the moko) and now we have our very own wahine trying to be a warrior, if I were you Te Amo Taamainu I'd leave the role of warrior to nga taane and stick to the karanga that's our role as nga wahine.
Hikurangi bey. Come on cuz our women have been warriors since the beginning.
It's not common to see what this girl is doing, but just because it's new to us doesn't mean it wasn't done in the past. Even if there weren't any our ancestors would never have restricted the "warrior" role to only the men either. You know that...
*_"For you to say we should stick to our role as nga wahine!?......Means you haven't got a fucking clue what your role is!."_*
We don't need to talk like that with each other cuz. We've lived with that paru for too long. Last thing we want to do is keep it alive in our whanau to poison more generations.
no all the north islands tribes will not follow the Kati waewae whine should not be doing the we do,Jeri pu doesn't get it at all and he losing alol now
+Khan Paniora Check your facts e hoa. I dont think you can actually speak for all North Island Iwi?
As the brother Tam Anaru said, there is no single person who speaks for the iwi of the North. Not even our King. If it makes sense to the iwi then the iwi will make their own decision of what is right and what is wrong for them. I would rather a woman maintain the integrity of the wero rather than have tribes of men who barely understand what the act means. Times have changed for all of the people of Te Ao and the people must keep up with the times. Much of our knowledge was taken to the night because those who were supposed to take that knowledge did not have the desire and that affects us all. As long as the integrity is maintained and our culture remembers the applications of the past, I believe a respectful path of cultural progress will occur. But we are a people who flowed wherever we went, it is not in our best interests to stagnate unnecessarily. If there are those who are willing to take the torch from our previous generations who still understand and respect the kaupapa of the past, then let them hold that torch high. Ngaa mihi ki te whaanau o Ngaati Waewae mo too mahi i te ao Maori. Mauri ora.
Mignonne mais faut pas lui casser les couilles..
Keep your culture Pacific brothers..its your means of SURVIVAL amongst white people.
woman shouldent do the wero
SINISTER KILL why?
Tam Anaru its been that way for ever to much changing going on in our culture were losing our way
+SINISTER KILL I disagree. You have to look at it from an iwi perspective. You can't judge an tribes tikanga if you have no knowledge of their tikanga. Each tribe is different. Evolution is inevitable. If you're talking about Tikanga tuturu then nothing is the same as it was back in the 1600's or 1700's,1800's or early 1900's. Things have evolved since then. The rules of tikanga mau rakau and wero are not the same in all iwi? Your iwi have been conducting their specific tikanga and kawa their way for many years I would assume. So no one is going to say it's wrong are they? I'm sure that the tikanga practised on your marae has evolved from the 1600's also. I doubt that everything your iwi practised back in the 1600's or whatever period is not the same now. It's evolved has it not. You can't critize or judge another iwi's tikanga and practises. To do so is to be ignorant. My opinion.
+SINISTER KILL you haven't answered my question. Why can't women within Ngati Waewae conduct wero if it's their tikanga or historical right? If the iwi sanction and fully support it then why not?
this is really totally funking wrong ,it is an really bad look and with the acknowledge, I advise all north islands Iwis, do not follow the bad example of this lol,letting girl's do the men's we do,cause they are all boys doing it all the time since 2014
Amen bro we're losing our culture becuase of shat like this
You are losing your culture because of lack of knowledge. Don't comment on something you have no idea about. You really sound like a pakeha both you and Khan.. They have done this for centuries and you two think you have the mana to make ignorant comments. Go and learn your culture then come back and have a say.
