In War Wold 2 there was a dairy of old German soldier who wrote about there platoon coming in contact with the Maori battalion who ran out of ammunition, he said they look like they were all going to surrender give up then all of them took of their clothes and were naked, and started to do this aggressive dance very loud, it was so ferocious that it made us all feel intimidated and felt the fear inside us all, so we turn around and left, no one reported this to our seniors officers of fear of been deserters or executed.
um not all religions had perfect gods, some of them are very human in behavior and can actually become mean or have created humans for selfish reasons...
I'm a black man, but I must say I have the utmost respect for how y'all keep your culture alive and relevant. I wish my black puerile did the same. Respect
My culture is alive and always will be, island warriors don't die... and may I say as a black person your culture is still alive... the sundae warriors as you are still exists that's what matters. many countries don't have culture's so be proud of yours.. by da way I might have spell your clans name wrong correct me..
Much love and respect from your boy Doug E Fresh! This yank loves New Zealand and its people!!!!! A special haka shout 2 ya my indigenous Mauri brothers and sisters! That was SIIICCKK! IN A GOOD WAY! Love ya! ✌ ☮
This isn't my culture, but I felt so much pride! And did anyone notice the hands and fingers of the women, it was vibrating as they chanted. So much pride and support for their men. I Love!!
when our hands vibrate like that it's called a "wiri" it represents the vibration that is life.... of all the things around us, and the life force that flows through us. from shimmering waters, bristling leaves or heat waves bouncing from the ground. each tribe has a different form of wiri that reflects their surroundings.
Oglala greetings, my wife and I visited friends in Manderson, near Pine Ridge, in 2001, for 5 weeks, and we were humbled to be included in several culturally significant events, including; a wake, burial and eagle flyover, a giveaway, memorial horse ride, tribal highway block. A privilege to have had this experience amongst a proud nation
I really love ritual.. dances? (I'm sorry, I'm not sure if Hakas are considered dances ) from all cultures, you can feel the energy coming out of all of them. Greetings from El Salvador to all our brothers and sisters.
Bob Perenara , we are the pacifica every dance or music we did is always awesome. from hawaii , new zealand, samoa, fiji all the way to marianas islands, Guam, saipan all the way to the micronesian islands
My high school's football team does this in their locker rooms before the big games against the rival schools and stuff. Buddy of mine says that they really get into it and it gets them hyped up and ready. He's been graduated 2 years and he still knows the dance. Sometimes he mutters the words when he's getting ready to start his day.
Say it out loud so your ancient ancestors can hear you only then well you feel the power. Must be true to yourself. And hold your head up high. When saying it
If you wanna feel alive I suggest you see a kapahaka in a small hall as I did. The crowd actually had more energy that those on stage!!! As a Pakeha that freaked me out just a bit lol. Go the Maori!
Imagine Earth as a unified nation... a complete blend of cultures, embracing old ways as we venture into the future, weaving our roots with steel and technology instead of eschewing them... we implement the haka in the world military. A morale boost and team-knitting exercise. As we venture into space, say we meet hostile aliens. They attack us, and our response is one gigantic haka before the shitstorm.
I love Maori culture. We don't have a widely popular indigenous ritual in the US. Most of the Natives have very different traditions, none of which are nearly as intimidating as the haka. I respect the power it has.
+veteranraider 062 Not really. From a language stand point, the languages throughout nz or aotearoa is exactly the same. The traditions, thought varying very little from each tribe are very similar to almost exactly the same. Us Maori, though split up in tribes, are generally all the same. Before colonisation, we shared the same beliefs, the same cultures, the same traditions and the same language. The only thing that seperated us was the greed of power and land. All of the south island was one united tribe, and the north island was full of war.
I just want to take a day out and go see this in person honestly i wish i could learn the dance it gives me everything i need i love the dance even though the red indians had there dance i feel like this would help my soul.
This has got to be the most badass thing I have ever seen! This is intimidation at it's best and I just can't get enough of it! I wish America had a tradition like this. Instead, we have shopping malls... Is the Haka a privilege that only NZ natives are allowed to perform? What if someone were to move to NZ from another country? Would he be allowed to perform the Haka? I know, I know, too many questions. This is just all to fascinating to me and I just want to know more about it...
DC if you came to NZ and wanted to learn a haka and perform it then there would be alot of people who would be happy to show you how. Over the years the haka has become alot more mainstream, i.e. being performed at sporting events and welcomes etc. Other times it is performed at the likes of funerals, weddings and significant life events. These performances are usually emotionally charged and will either give you goose bumps or bring you to tears. Come over for a visit and get into it, you'll love it. This is just my personal opinion and I do not speak for everyone or on behalf of various tribes or groups.
DC "America" or the US to which you are referring still has almost a thousand distinct indigenous groups, 567 of them federally recognized, despite the genocidal efforts of European invaders and despite the continued discrimination and racism towards them. They have unique dances, cultures, traditions, etc. in many ways similar to Maori, as indigenous cousins. Educate yourself about your own country first. "Instead we have shopping malls..." make that "we" YOU, you non-natives of Turtle Island.
USURPER A very well written comment. Quite profession indeed. Brother, the respect is mine. I was replying to DC's post. My apologies if I was out of order my brother. I love and respect the HAKA but I will attack anyone who talk shit about my country. Believe it or not the Americans loves to see the All Black's Haka. When they came down to play rugby with our team, it was a sold out. The stadium was so packed that people were camping outside just to see the All Blacks doing the Haka. You see, we have wannabe in this country and they fucked up the haka. When the All Blacks did the Haka, every US citizen were clued to the TV. At the stadium, I thought it was going to collapse. It was a sight to see. Hell, even I was getting down and nasty with the haka. We the real Americans respect any cultures and welcome them to or society. Again brother, my sincere apologies and respect!
Black Wolf hahaha yeah il give you That LOL but the haka was for old hand to hand combat war times not now but the new zealand army do haka have a shoot out with LOL
and foreigners still think ka mate is our best haka...... I can remember going to these when I was little, hangi and fried bread for sale and all you can hear before you walk in is the thumping on the stage and yelling. Sounds pretty cool if it's something you haven't seen before
Back in the war days, our young Maori warriors were the last line of defence to protect our women and children, if the adults failed in combat. That wasn't true for every tribe, many of the young ones would take arms alongside their elders, many of the young ones were probably told not to join in combat, but you know young ones. They have no ears! 😒
With pride I say I'm Maori and i can honestly say. I have many things to be proud of such as my fore fathers serving and dying for our country trying to provide a better future not only for us Maori but for all New Zealanders, also we are the only thing standing between the government and the privatisation of New Zealand and the sales of all of our natural resources and the preservation of our way of life. Also if you looked up the latest statistics you will be surprised on how well we are doing
The Celts were made up of several kingdoms that covered a vast area of Indo-Europe, the main two being Hallstatt and La Tene; all share a similar cultural trait or two, just as the Hawaiian's and Maori's share similar traits/rites/etc., but all very different in their own right.
Quite the contrary. There is much negativity that is associated with Maori. The media likes to paint the indigenous as really bad people. You can hear it in how people talk about Maori people. However, that might only be the case in the big city.
my culture is in my heart and my family, it's with men and women no more than arms reach on the battlefield's I have walked, the dead and the living, my waking hours and my sleep. my skin is pale because this is who i am. i have what i have because i earned it not because i covet it. I am angry because I have witnessed the senseless destruction of everything and fought for what i believe. What have you learned Davis whitstone
Out of respect for women certain parts of the haka requires a body position that Maori women would just not do. Watch videos of women's new Zealand's sports teams doing there versions of the haka they have the same power and passion as the mens
History and ones connection to their past is the most important part of knowing who you are and where you come from, it grounds you and gives you respect for what your ancestors had to go through with the murder of your people during colonialism
In War Wold 2 there was a dairy of old German soldier who wrote about there platoon coming in contact with the Maori battalion who ran out of ammunition, he said they look like they were all going to surrender give up then all of them took of their clothes and were naked, and started to do this aggressive dance very loud, it was so ferocious that it made us all feel intimidated and felt the fear inside us all, so we turn around and left, no one reported this to our seniors officers of fear of been deserters or executed.
I'm thinking maybe the dance is meant to create the illusion there is a lot more soldiers than there actually is.
How can one that is perfectly happy to meet their Creator be beaten in battle?
um not all religions had perfect gods, some of them are very human in behavior and can actually become mean or have created humans for selfish reasons...
Very similar to the berserkers in Nordic history. They dance naked & psych themselves up for battle while also scaring the hell out of their enemies.
Lori Burnip we done it best ño one could compare
Wow I felt that all the way in Australia. Totally gave me chills. Well done.
I'm a black man, but I must say I have the utmost respect for how y'all keep your culture alive and relevant. I wish my black puerile did the same. Respect
My culture is alive and always will be, island warriors don't die... and may I say as a black person your culture is still alive... the sundae warriors as you are still exists that's what matters. many countries don't have culture's so be proud of yours.. by da way I might have spell your clans name wrong correct me..
Rocky Ali nobody gives a flying fuck if youre black Rocky.
Says a person name 88pie. God bless
Rocky Ali I am Maori and I’m a black man
I dont know about you people, but when i am feeling down i just need to watch a few Haka videos to get hyped up. Awseome stuff.
Much love and respect from your boy Doug E Fresh! This yank loves New Zealand and its people!!!!! A special haka shout 2 ya my indigenous Mauri brothers and sisters! That was SIIICCKK! IN A GOOD WAY! Love ya! ✌ ☮
Big, big love to our indigenous brothers and sisters across the globe
It does not matter what nation or colour of your skin when a haka is preformed you feel it in your heart and soul.But im a maori though.
I m european.But I feel the same. Sometimes Haka is so strong and full of special energy, that it makes me burst into tears.Good tears!🌷🌷🌷
Chur cuzz let one rip practice it then let rip feels good!!!
I’m 15% Māori does it count?
Gives me the chills too and so much pride and I am pakeha
Does anyone else tense up watching this?
I tense up to the point of being sore the next day.
Maybe it's just me. Who knows.
Extremely powerful stuff.
+DC you might be a warrior. A haka gets me right to go into battle and die with honor. HRRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHH
+DC i really do... i always watch it before starting the day. It remembers me that life is a fight.
Right?? It makes your blood go.
DC Imagine having the Mortal Kombat theme playing slightly while watching this. You'll really tense up then 😂
im guessing you dont know the meaning for this haka
From one tribe in Borneo, after watching this I have so much respect for the Maori people!
This isn't my culture, but I felt so much pride! And did anyone notice the hands and fingers of the women, it was vibrating as they chanted. So much pride and support for their men. I Love!!
03lowlah if u see the wahine/ladies close up they do a pukana where their eyes r wide open, very haunting..

One of the meanest haka i ever saw. Aloha nui to our maori ohana.
Yes we're very much family, spiritual connection with our ancestors, we live on islands of forests, have volcanoes, rivers..language very similar😂
@@maoriwarrior1651 Hate the Haka, love the people. Ka kite ano.
Hat's of to that pride, selfconfidence and heritage!!!
I'd like to say "Kia Ora to Germany"
Amazing Haka Maori 😎👍 and much respect from the Lakota Sioux Nation

Brah this Haka and others like it help me pump up before the gym and before I do certain performances. Thanks for posting it.

Dom David do you think we Maori don't know where we have come from!
Expression of life and death. They retreated in respect to the Maori.

Oh my god i like this performance😄😄
Amazing and Beautiful. Gave me goosebumps.
I really like the power movement so much energy.

Absolutely amazing that they were just HS kids. Wish I knew what they were chanting. Great.
If you wanna feel alive I suggest you see a kapahaka in a small hall as I did. The crowd actually had more energy that those on stage!!! As a Pakeha that freaked me out just a bit lol. Go the Maori!

What great timing in a rythamic beat
What a fantastic glimpse of an amazing culture.

Man, What a haka I bet their skin was red when the tournament was finished
awesome!
Excellent
You can almost see the Testosterone steaming from their heads!
Omg, that's perfect. Lol
And in our culture that means " Message delivered with Every bit of yourself!"☝️💯MAORI MANA MOTUHAKE
I love watchin the haka, cuz they convey anger n fear so well, as if there pissed off n will eat u for breakfast, lol, makes u pumped. :)
eating other's flesh was taking their soul and spirit
Gave me goosebumps. Love it!
You know how sore that would be for your legs
I live. I die. I love again.
Well cool thing about this dance is that you certainly can't get away with phoning it in. Go big or go home.
Great Maori Culture.

who else is from nz
This is the haka that te waka huia do
what are they saying at 1:49 ? sounds like WTF.
It seems they are so united... I think that Bullying or exclusion dont exist in New Zeland
Quite the contrary. There is much negativity that is associated with Maori. The media likes to paint the indigenous as really bad people. You can hear it in how people talk about Maori people. However, that might only be the case in the big city.

They saying Pakanga Tuarua, so they are talking about the World War II at 1:49 thats what Pakanga Tuarua means.
Bravo bien dit! Well said.
Out of respect for women certain parts of the haka requires a body position that Maori women would just not do. Watch videos of women's new Zealand's sports teams doing there versions of the haka they have the same power and passion as the mens

History and ones connection to their past is the most important part of knowing who you are and where you come from, it grounds you and gives you respect for what your ancestors had to go through with the murder of your people during colonialism
