An interesting fact is Maori were expert's in the art of trench warfare. They created elaborate defense's to withstand British bombardment. Later the British took what they learned from the Maori and used it in WW1.
@devious1 if we want to get technical the main Western use of trench warfare arose out of the American Civil War (1864-1865) whereas Maori used their own sapping (which was used extensively across the world) but perfected trench warfare in conflict with the English which started in 1845 and was on going for 20 years before the American Civil War even began.
I have to say this, Foremost! this is from a colonised worldview of Maori, we had traditions, and customs that were foreign to europeans, therfore they painted us as primitive and SAVAGE! Lets be clear, we were primitive in our ambitions, every tribe thought, worked, played, and FOUGHT as ONE! to protect our children and the land to which they would becomes guardians of. Secondly we were not Savages to the extent this video preceives us as, we just defended THE LAND! our Hapu (Sub tribe)... James Cook came to conquer! to take! to own! what we did not believe any Man should. MAORI (as all indigenous people)believed the Natural world was/is above Man, therefore we guarded it, protected it, nurtured it, and lived harmoniously with what the natural world had to offer. Weve now taken the Earth and all her beaty to a point of no return, its not too late to call back all the "primitive savages" only itll be a liability to ones income/assets. And thank you for acknowledging his "Theory" a colonisers theory. I could go on forever, but ima let the comments section work this out.
Tēnā koe bro, 27:00 the reason why you get people telling you in the comments as if its fact and telling you in their own words especially if they are Māori is because of their individual whakapapa - their lineage their ancestral connection to the whenua (land) & moana (sea). Our culture (Te Ao Māori) including our language survives through conversing in our language, sharing and passing on our history through ancestral stories, waiata (singing), kapa haka (cultural dance). For one person who has heard a story as part of research they use the word theory as not to offend. For others who have had the stories passed on through generations as part of their personal ancestral history (whakapapa) to them it is not a theory but a lived reality. We are a very spiritual people and we are fully connected to our ancestors their "mana" their "wairua" (spirits) live on through the love and existence of their legacies which is their descendants. Anyways I invite you to New Zealand man, come and experience our culture first hand you will be astonished.
A lot of the information in this video was inaccurate...or over exaggerated...but then again colonisers often gave corrupt accounts of their findings in nz...which is probably why this guy say captain cook “had” to kill Maori.
He makes videos titled "facts about.." then always proceeds to get all the facts wrong with very poor pronunciation. He's straight up ignorant, it isn't hard to research
That way of tattooing is still used in Polynesia for traditional tattoos and it’s still a ceremony. For Māori people it’s called a Ta moko and is usually on the face and a Samoan one is called a tatau and specifically the male one is called a Pe’a or Malofie and it covers the whole body from waist to knees
You the MAN brother trying to understand our culture you speak with so much heart and intelligence respect goes out to you. Our Maaori culture is one of a kind which definitely connects with all cultures and still does to this day. I could go on forever brother but time not on my side. Hope you come for a visit one day brother. ✌️
Trust your intuition!! Māori welcomed the Europeans with open arms, they reacted agressively, stole our land, beat the Māori culture out’ve us our language nearly became extinct only 80 years ago. We are now just revitalising our language and still currently suffer the impacts of colonisation and our generation are trying our best to re-indiginise. I also don’t recommend watching a video about indigenous people that is narrated by someone who isn’t hahaha
they were the most visious warriors the English ever encountered, cannabilism was rife and the practice of shrinking enemies heads was also common.. These people are complete savages
@@fpsautism8826 Boy shut up you don't know what you talking about and how it can affect people, why tf you be like "these people" at least be respectful, and also we aint savages.
The green stone club is called a mere . There’s also other patus called kotiate and wahaika. Only high ranked held a mere. And on the battle field the person who held the mere was the one you feared. Because it took 5 generations to shape the mere so to person had all the mana to stand on it to not lose that easy . And reasons why we ate humans was because of mana. That’s a true fact. The first person to shed blood on the battle field was granted the mataaika was means the first catch . He got to eat the heart of that person because the dead clenches on to the post of living and noble souls might be in there . I’ll promise you one thing . There’s a real scary side to maori that only a hand few of people know , it’s called the kauae ring which means the upper jaw knowledge . If we could ever have a convo brah it will change your whole out look in life because every thing in Maori has a understanding. And I mean EVERYTHING . We a lowkey culture because it’s not for the world to know the magic behind it all .
Warriors may have eaten only the heart of the enemy they've just killed in battle other than that cannibalism was not a everyday thing, women and children had no part in it and the majority of tribes would not have practiced it and there are over 40 different tribes in New Zealand. As a Maori this is the first time I have ever heard of infanticide in Maoridom again this must of been a rarity in only a handful of tribes. Babies were often raised to the heavens and blessed by tohungas or priests pre-european. All babies and children are highly regarded as taonga or treasure, i'm not sure that video is historically accurate.
Back than, everyone had a purpose. The person who dealt with the bodies was to do it on their own. This person was known to be very Tapu or sacred. And usually lived on their own with no contact to anyone. They weren't allowed to touch anything with their hands, including food, they had to be fed, otherwise, they'd be spreading their sacredness. And goodluck getting rid of it, once you've got it
I love this type stuff I've actually watched this one before but still want to enjoy it with ya and see your perspective on it. Good video man subscribed
Some of this is wrong James cook was never peaceful because of his assistant Not all tribes ate people each tribe is different and that not what mana is .mana is the strength and courage in someone and that's not a mere club, mere clubs are round clubs are not
@devious1 True, I believe Cook was a quaker from my research. So Cook himself may have had more of a moral feeling of obligation to preach and convert people to Christianity. However...he must have known what the British government were like and what they were about to do. That's the conclusion I've come to.
I had my tamoko tattoo chisel in with our traditional chisels and ink. It is painful but that's part of the journey. This tradition still continues and is very much alive. Yes when someone passed away it was the responsibility of different individual to carry out the ceremony and burial tradition.
My tribe is Ngaiterangi my Tupuna (ancestor) was the chief Taiaho Hori Ngatai. He had two wives I descend from his first wife and am known as Tuakana. We descend from our chiefs first children.
maori have recently tried to get all the heads back from overseas. hoping we do too. and from your individual life you can make change and affect things in the world by using your platform to educate brother! your already doing it. chur my kuz
The tattoos are the stories of the tribe. Each tribes is unique. The reason for wanting to have them was to show your honour and standing in the tribe and each tattoo had to be earnt.
To answer your question about the tattoos bro, historically we never had paper to write on so we use to use symbols for writing on pottery longgg time ago and then it ended up on our backs and arms
@devious1 they were willing to help because the colonizers came in “peace” but they were sneaky and tricked them. Then they raped, murdered and inslaved the natives. If that’s what u think saving is then u need some help 😄
I'm maori brother, your very intuitive. You paused at the European supposedly had to kill some maori, your original theory was correct. They came here to colonize our country. We didn't sell our ancestors for guns and money, we lease land for guns and they claimed ownership. (Illegally). The skulls were stolen from European raids, which took years for them to return our ancestors. Maori didn't kill babies, I don't even know where that theory came from, sparta I think lol
Back In those days infants were killed due to lack of food, resources, offspring of another and deformities. If the infant couldn’t grow up strong to support themselves and the tribe they were looked at as weak and shamed the families mana. As sad as it maybe it was better for that soul to pass on then live a life of struggle.
😄😄😄 "we got to do this again? Had to be annoying.." I spit out my drink laughing at your response😄 on burial twice or three times. Europeans wanted shrunken heads? Sick. Barbaric.🙆
Be weary when non maori speak about us,they do not live our tikanga (Many truths)and kawa (Lore).Ask us we live.Priests(Tohunga) covered tapu activities ,ta moko tattoo s, the dead is the realm of the tohunga whakairo (Priest master carver), many tohunga for different activities ,gardening ,medicinal,weaving ,Highest priest were Tohunga Ahurewa,right hand man to the paramount chief (Ariki)first cousin s Rangatira(Hapu chief:).The tattoo s on the face are carved out flesh,left side mothers geneology ,right side fathers geneology, skills and mastery ,ranking.Ti hei mauri ora .Sacred the breath of life
when having the tattoos carved in you should probably not move or scream cause it might wreck the tattoo then they will have to try find another look for it Also James Cook and the queen back then stole our lands, when the Maori's signed the treaty they treaty wasn't correct in Maori it said in english that she was able to take whatever land she wants but in the Maori one it stated that you have to agree on her taking your land im pretty sure. After the treaty was signed the queen took land and sold it they also brought dogs and that to New Zealand im pretty happy about that part tho. If i forgot anything pls reply
The Maori didn't have a written language, so their history was mostly transferred orally. The other methods used were would carving and tattoos. Each individuals tattoos told their story. That's why each was unique.
There is a couple of legends on the first Maori that got tattoed and started the tradition One is of a dude called Tamure And another that the knowledge of it was retrieved from the underworld I'm shure the stories are on TH-cam somewhere
I reckon it's true. A lot of people say otherwise. My Great Grandfather always used to say that if you killed something, you had to eat it, and I think this was a tradition that was passed down which ultimately included war. Just the way it was worded. He never said "kill animals"; it was always "killed something".
Well my bro. Our people were tricked. An killed.. some just wanted to be kept alone All tribes were different you had ones that fight for our people. Then ones that needed to be headless😎
And I have never herd of them killinh there infants im pretty sure that was sparta lol but I have heard about after defeating a worthy warrior they ripped out his heart on the spot and ate it.
brah cannibalism is very common inthe pacific islands from png to solomons to tonga to fiji in some parts of png it is still practised but becoming rare these days they collect skuls to show and boast they have their enemies its a fact lol
That infantacide is bs ....it may have been one tribe doing that practice, i did hear about one tribe who did this but that village died and a tapu is laid on that particular area. I heard this story over 20 yrs ago. Im not going to say the name its so disgusting my heart breaks for those poor tamariki.
I am a Maori descendent of mohaka ngati pahauwera witch in English means tribe of the burning beards. My grandfathers grandfather was the last person to practice cannibalism on that side of the family. It takes 7 generation to fully get the taste for humans out of our lineage. I am 4th generation and have not eaten a human yet! 🤣 lets hope my kids and there kids don’t develop a taste for it 🤣😂🙏🏽
You gotta understand that early New Zealand only had birds life back then no other food source so human was next on the menu. Every animal we eat today was Brought from another country. So u can understand why we developed a taste for human flesh.
@@PiriVlogs19 my great grandfather had a saying, "If you kill something, you have to eat it". Besides talking about animals and the respect you should have for them (not killing for sport but for sustenance), I believe this eluded to the practice of cannibalism, but mostly to the act of killing, like in war. If I ever became a murderer, I would honour the old traditions and get rid of most of the evidence in this way. Like my grandad used to say; if you kill something, you have to eat it. Also, can you imagine how dope our warriors would have been if in the 1600s we just started going on raids throughout Asia. Jesus, we would be called demons for doing this 😂 unbeatable warriors feasting on entire cities.
Bro you should react to our culture real tattoos, I got one myself,it is not a joke getting it bro,please bro check out the Samoan tradition tattoo is a painful one to get one.
Never believe a outsider when it comes to Maori culture, they twist and change how we really are/was, we have traditions and beliefs, but most the things that was said is so inaccurate
Fact: Rihanna has had a Maori tattoo done traditionally on her hand. She covered it with mandala. I don’t blame her it’s not what she probably thought she wanted.
I love how interested you are and stuff like this brother yeah is very interesting if you can, find A video on traditional Aboriginal ‘wangi ’(won guy)culture. From the top end of W.A. Kalgoorlie(kal goul lee)/Kalumburu(car lum bar roo)They get cuts like African tribes to signify feats of manhood also they perform a thing we’re they give the newly teenagers a ‘burrah’(Buh ra)or (whistlecock)😂 which is Litterally a split with a rock. Down the centre and length of there penis and when it becomes erect, it splits in two like a snakes tongue! But. It’s actually really clever they say it gets them ‘Budjarri’(bood jar ree {pregnant}). Every time, and it makes sense because if you imagine it would open up the cervix like a pair of forceps and then the Semen would shoot straight into the fallopian tube’s😮👌🏼 like honestly, how clever for an ancient civilisation you know 2am brah💪🏻💙💙
And nah bro cannibalism isnt a theory, it was legit but not common and not all tribes did this. I think if anything that person they ate would have really insulted or offended an opposing tribe for them to humiliate that person by eating him.
the guy from the beats by dre says the name properly, this guy has terrible prononciation. its pronouonced ma - o -ri and you have to roll your r's like when you do the gun noise
Bro Ngapuhi weren't the only ones bro .My Ancestors was another Ngapuhi chief at the same time as Hongi Hika he was Pomare the first sometimes he agreed with each other sometimes they didn't. My ancestor took on one battle to many without the help of Hongi in the Waikato and thats where his life ended and never returned back to north as he was eaten.
If you look back into global Native history.You will find these are the types of traditions we all stem from. Natives had No Guns, No Knives & Weapons & Tools & boats are all made from stones, bones, & natural resources from the earth.This is how it was supposed to be.We're Very Proud because its these traditions that made our people who we are today!.Watch Out though bro..We're just as Deadly these days without chopping yr head off & eating it😂🤣🤣 Keep on Keepin On bro☝💯❤🤍🖤
Cannibalism was in the Pacific islanders... Samoans and Tongans were the worst... Cookislanders and niueans were scavengers, I don't know it's a long time ago, this is just what the elderly told me but yea positive cannibalism was real
This narrator is British, not from New Zealand so don't rely on this info being exactly accurate. I'm pretty sure he even got the Maori warrior name wrong, I think it should be Hone (horn-e) Heke.
If u r interested in this a good one to watch is The disturbing story of the shrunken Maori heads. Done this century and the recovery and return of our ancestors.
The shrunken heads thing...The english wanted Maori chief heads!!!! So....We started giving them slave heads tattooed up to look like chiefs. lol Just one of the thing's maori laugh about how we got one over them. Okay one more...Rua Kenana a maori peace activist....was being hunted by the english and hired some east coast maori to track him down....from Ngati Porou/ Te Whanau A Apanui tribal area I believe. But they figured...If we hand him over we stop getting paid. So we just watched him and told them where he wasn't instead to drag out the payments. $$$ lol. Tuhoe tribe also buried their dead in trees which i find interesting and most outsiders wouldn't know.
Before the English came, our people didn't have a proper language like others did. So our ancestors used our Moko ( our face tattoos) to tell their story basically
@devious1 i said i have Maori family and google is also free so yea anyone can be educated on any culture except you ofc since you seem to have false information.
@devious1 bro google doesn’t get all their info from books majority comes from ppl. Like scientists who do study’s and take survey to get accurate data and information from ppl and their cultures. Plz go educate yourself luv
And it’s no may ori brah😂 it’s like moh ree/dee. It’s hard it’s not a d or an r it’s kinda both!? Like just as your tongue hits the Roof of your mouth to make a D, you pull it back to make r,and then the eee comes
Hey bro I know I'm late to the party but just wanna let u know when there's a white man narrating a black man and womans culture u know it's gonna it's gonna be incorrect I advise you to come to aotearoha and take advise from a real one arohanui bro
the tattoos were like grooves in the skin. not all tribes eat people and take women btw, my tribe does NOT do cannibalism like the tirbes around us and we are one of the biggest tribes in the whole country, and we also do not poke out the tongue nor do we scream random sounds in our haka, instead we intensify our eyes, actions and words to intimidate and we never stand in a haka but always keep a low stance which in english is called the horse stance. we were also one of the strongest war tribes and also never signed the british treaty or respected queen elizabeth, a women living thousands of kms away trying to control our country, it was unbelievable to our chiefs.
I hate the history of my country, the treatment my ancestorshad gone through was sad. It was bound to happen though. The slavery, the killing and the crown taking control of n.z. Unfortunately Europeans out smarted us in the end. However we now use and love technology, and eating food from other cultures. If europeans had not come then I wouldn't be alive today even though I'm mostly maori, I'm also Irish. I'm not siding with europeans that came to N.Z. It's just the way we were as humans, and still are. Sadly the more advanced culture will always dominate others. I just hope we humans change before we destroy all civilisation due to power hungry narcissistic leaders of the world and dumb sheep that do what they want like puppets.
If you grunted and moaned you wouldn’t be getting a tattoo that’s facts people just make money these days but it was a whole ceremony in the old days you had a woman there taking you’re pain
I also don't believe the mothers killed their children. Do you know how difficult that is? Women and men get a attached to their children when they are born due to love bonding chemicals that flood their brain. If they did kill any infant it would have been to spare them suffering since life was hard and you had to be in healthy condition to survive, but even then, birth defects could not have been common unless incest was common.

And then tricked us in to peace because we were the most difficult warriors they had encountered. They slowly took over.

Be weary when non maori speak about us,they do not live our tikanga (Many truths)and kawa (Lore).Ask us we live.Priests(Tohunga) covered tapu activities ,ta moko tattoo s, the dead is the realm of the tohunga whakairo (Priest master carver), many tohunga for different activities ,gardening ,medicinal,weaving ,Highest priest were Tohunga Ahurewa,right hand man to the paramount chief (Ariki)first cousin s Rangatira(Hapu chief:).The tattoo s on the face are carved out flesh,left side mothers geneology ,right side fathers geneology, skills and mastery ,ranking.Ti hei mauri ora .Sacred the breath of life
Always been proud of my ancestry,
when having the tattoos carved in you should probably not move or scream cause it might wreck the tattoo then they will have to try find another look for it
Also James Cook and the queen back then stole our lands, when the Maori's signed the treaty they treaty wasn't correct in Maori it said in english that she was able to take whatever land she wants but in the Maori one it stated that you have to agree on her taking your land im pretty sure. After the treaty was signed the queen took land and sold it they also brought dogs and that to New Zealand im pretty happy about that part tho. If i forgot anything pls reply
Holy damn i didnt even know about these and im māori like damn
howd u not know bruh💀💀
@@tpwrm3458 broooo i dont even know aye💀💀
@@jalenlafotanoa5205 nah some of them r bs tho like infanticide
As soon as I heard tattoos were "were most commonly put on the face" I wrote this and clicked next
well good day
I LOVE THIS BRUH
The culture is respect for the dead, spirituality is part of nz culture and is also where warriors can muster more strength from for battle.
When it comes to The Young Ones I'm talking about the children in life they have to earn it plus the family what the strengths are
The Maori didn't have a written language, so their history was mostly transferred orally. The other methods used were would carving and tattoos. Each individuals tattoos told their story. That's why each was unique.
There is a couple of legends on the first Maori that got tattoed and started the tradition
One is of a dude called Tamure
And another that the knowledge of it was retrieved from the underworld
I'm shure the stories are on TH-cam somewhere
You should watch the Maori land wars - tainui
I Heard Stories About My Great Great Grandfather Being One Of The Last NZ Cannibals So The Story May Be Pretty Accurate.
I reckon it's true. A lot of people say otherwise. My Great Grandfather always used to say that if you killed something, you had to eat it, and I think this was a tradition that was passed down which ultimately included war. Just the way it was worded. He never said "kill animals"; it was always "killed something".
Please react to "Highasakite - Golden Ticket". Another ice-queen from Norway.
With #7 now we dont put a headstone up until after a year. We just take the family member back to rest in our family cemetery.
They probably call it theory because of the different reasons and meanings from different tribe's in different areas
Well my bro. Our people were tricked. An killed.. some just wanted to be kept alone All tribes were different you had ones that fight for our people. Then ones that needed to be headless😎
Not a dance, it’s a war cry
And I have never herd of them killinh there infants im pretty sure that was sparta lol but I have heard about after defeating a worthy warrior they ripped out his heart on the spot and ate it.
brah cannibalism is very common inthe pacific islands from png to solomons to tonga to fiji in some parts of png it is still practised but becoming rare these days they collect skuls to show and boast they have their enemies its a fact lol
Listen to He kakano Ahau by Stan walker
look at the story for niwareka and mataora if you wanna learn about our face tatoo (mataora)
That infantacide is bs ....it may have been one tribe doing that practice, i did hear about one tribe who did this but that village died and a tapu is laid on that particular area. I heard this story over 20 yrs ago. Im not going to say the name its so disgusting my heart breaks for those poor tamariki.
You need to watch The Deadlands
Honestly the true maori never had tattoos, but it gradually found its way into the people.
I am a Maori descendent of mohaka ngati pahauwera witch in English means tribe of the burning beards. My grandfathers grandfather was the last person to practice cannibalism on that side of the family. It takes 7 generation to fully get the taste for humans out of our lineage. I am 4th generation and have not eaten a human yet! 🤣 lets hope my kids and there kids don’t develop a taste for it 🤣😂🙏🏽
You gotta understand that early New Zealand only had birds life back then no other food source so human was next on the menu. Every animal we eat today was Brought from another country. So u can understand why we developed a taste for human flesh.
@@PiriVlogs19 whos your an ancestor, coming from a fellow ngati pahauwera man
@@Fredshitzencrap the Te Aho and waihape whanau 🤙🏾
@@PiriVlogs19 my great grandfather had a saying, "If you kill something, you have to eat it". Besides talking about animals and the respect you should have for them (not killing for sport but for sustenance), I believe this eluded to the practice of cannibalism, but mostly to the act of killing, like in war. If I ever became a murderer, I would honour the old traditions and get rid of most of the evidence in this way. Like my grandad used to say; if you kill something, you have to eat it.
Also, can you imagine how dope our warriors would have been if in the 1600s we just started going on raids throughout Asia. Jesus, we would be called demons for doing this 😂 unbeatable warriors feasting on entire cities.
Its also said Ancient Sparta also had similarities.
Bro you should react to our culture real tattoos, I got one myself,it is not a joke getting it bro,please bro check out the Samoan tradition tattoo is a painful one to get one.
Never believe a outsider when it comes to Maori culture, they twist and change how we really are/was, we have traditions and beliefs, but most the things that was said is so inaccurate
he saying mere like where it’s pronounced meh re but you roll the r
Fact: Rihanna has had a Maori tattoo done traditionally on her hand. She covered it with mandala. I don’t blame her it’s not what she probably thought she wanted.
I love how interested you are and stuff like this brother yeah is very interesting if you can, find A video on traditional Aboriginal ‘wangi ’(won guy)culture. From the top end of W.A. Kalgoorlie(kal goul lee)/Kalumburu(car lum bar roo)They get cuts like African tribes to signify feats of manhood also they perform a thing we’re they give the newly teenagers a ‘burrah’(Buh ra)or (whistlecock)😂 which is Litterally a split with a rock. Down the centre and length of there penis and when it becomes erect, it splits in two like a snakes tongue! But. It’s actually really clever they say it gets them ‘Budjarri’(bood jar ree {pregnant}). Every time, and it makes sense because if you imagine it would open up the cervix like a pair of forceps and then the Semen would shoot straight into the fallopian tube’s😮👌🏼 like honestly, how clever for an ancient civilisation you know 2am brah💪🏻💙💙
bro we rescued ourselves and still are...
Yep that's how we do. I tattood myself though lol 😆 😂and not on the face tho hell no
YOU NEED TO GO TO AOTEAROA
(NEW ZEALAND )
& MEET THE PEOPLE (MAORI)
And nah bro cannibalism isnt a theory, it was legit but not common and not all tribes did this. I think if anything that person they ate would have really insulted or offended an opposing tribe for them to humiliate that person by eating him.
MY BRO EATING THEM WAS REAL BRADA. NO FICTION MY MAN.
ultimate form of disrespect to turn someone to shit.far north our hangi pits always burned in wartime
the guy from the beats by dre says the name properly, this guy has terrible prononciation.
its pronouonced ma - o -ri and you have to roll your r's like when you do the gun noise
I just thought 'gun noise?' lmao, oh yep, gotcha!
Some haka were performed before fighting neighbouring tribes.
One of my ancestors got there tatto/tāmoko at the age of 13
I descend from a Maori tribe that has always been known for eating our enemies.
True that sir.
Ngapuhi? 😅😂
Bro Ngapuhi weren't the only ones bro .My Ancestors was another Ngapuhi chief at the same time as Hongi Hika he was Pomare the first sometimes he agreed with each other sometimes they didn't. My ancestor took on one battle to many without the help of Hongi in the Waikato and thats where his life ended and never returned back to north as he was eaten.
@@peterteohaere4986 I said Ngapuhi because I belong to Ngapuhi and know it was one of our ancestral practices 😅 No stress mete.
If you look back into global Native history.You will find these are the types of traditions we all stem from. Natives had
No Guns, No Knives & Weapons & Tools & boats are all made from stones, bones, & natural resources from the earth.This is how it was supposed to be.We're Very Proud because its these traditions that made our people who we are today!.Watch Out though bro..We're just as Deadly these days without chopping yr head off & eating it😂🤣🤣 Keep on Keepin On bro☝💯❤🤍🖤
Cannibalism was in the Pacific islanders... Samoans and Tongans were the worst... Cookislanders and niueans were scavengers, I don't know it's a long time ago, this is just what the elderly told me but yea positive cannibalism was real
no one knows samoa and tonga for being cannibals
No one knows Niueans & Cook Islands to be scavengers, You must be a scavenger lol
@@Twack98 they only know samoa and tongans for being fat HAHHAHA
You're not allowed to scream when you get tattooed. You can pass out from the pain but it's dishonorable to bit*h
112 different Maori tribes in Aotearoa/New Zealand
"The maori acted aggresively" = haka welcome
🤦
This narrator is British, not from New Zealand so don't rely on this info being exactly accurate. I'm pretty sure he even got the Maori warrior name wrong, I think it should be Hone (horn-e) Heke.
Noone complained back then
@devious1 so there was no complaining
How do you even know lmfao
If u r interested in this a good one to watch is The disturbing story of the shrunken Maori heads. Done this century and the recovery and return of our ancestors.
Its called a silent sigh of OMG boy wtf u duin. Better get ot right bruh
The shrunken heads thing...The english wanted Maori chief heads!!!! So....We started giving them slave heads tattooed up to look like chiefs. lol
Just one of the thing's maori laugh about how we got one over them.
Okay one more...Rua Kenana a maori peace activist....was being hunted by the english and hired some east coast maori to track him down....from Ngati Porou/ Te Whanau A Apanui tribal area I believe. But they figured...If we hand him over we stop getting paid. So we just watched him and told them where he wasn't instead to drag out the payments. $$$ lol.
Tuhoe tribe also buried their dead in trees which i find interesting and most outsiders wouldn't know.
Or watch Kapa Haka it’s our performing arts
Bro saying in other videos how common the gangs are 24:21 dudes got a black power tattoos
Before the English came, our people didn't have a proper language like others did. So our ancestors used our Moko ( our face tattoos) to tell their story basically
you mean they didn't have a written language. any language that is spoken is a proper language lol
Some Samoans still get traditional tattoos the old way by carving as well
@devious1 I’m part Samoan now stop stalkin 💀
@devious1 i said i have Maori family and google is also free so yea anyone can be educated on any culture except you ofc since you seem to have false information.
@devious1 bro google doesn’t get all their info from books majority comes from ppl. Like scientists who do study’s and take survey to get accurate data and information from ppl and their cultures. Plz go educate yourself luv
@devious1 i never claimed that. You rlly embarrassing urself lmao.
@devious1 actually quite a lot of books on Maori history and from Māori history are on google so Idk what ur on abt 💀
And it’s no may ori brah😂 it’s like moh ree/dee. It’s hard it’s not a d or an r it’s kinda both!? Like just as your tongue hits the Roof of your mouth to make a D, you pull it back to make r,and then the eee comes
Hey bro I know I'm late to the party but just wanna let u know when there's a white man narrating a black man and womans culture u know it's gonna it's gonna be incorrect I advise you to come to aotearoha and take advise from a real one arohanui bro
the tattoos were like grooves in the skin. not all tribes eat people and take women btw, my tribe does NOT do cannibalism like the tirbes around us and we are one of the biggest tribes in the whole country, and we also do not poke out the tongue nor do we scream random sounds in our haka, instead we intensify our eyes, actions and words to intimidate and we never stand in a haka but always keep a low stance which in english is called the horse stance. we were also one of the strongest war tribes and also never signed the british treaty or respected queen elizabeth, a women living thousands of kms away trying to control our country, it was unbelievable to our chiefs.
I hate the history of my country, the treatment my ancestorshad gone through was sad. It was bound to happen though. The slavery, the killing and the crown taking control of n.z. Unfortunately Europeans out smarted us in the end. However we now use and love technology, and eating food from other cultures. If europeans had not come then I wouldn't be alive today even though I'm mostly maori, I'm also Irish. I'm not siding with europeans that came to N.Z. It's just the way we were as humans, and still are. Sadly the more advanced culture will always dominate others. I just hope we humans change before we destroy all civilisation due to power hungry narcissistic leaders of the world and dumb sheep that do what they want like puppets.
Bro did you know the woman got them to on their face
If you grunted and moaned you wouldn’t be getting a tattoo that’s facts people just make money these days but it was a whole ceremony in the old days you had a woman there taking you’re pain
I also don't believe the mothers killed their children. Do you know how difficult that is? Women and men get a attached to their children when they are born due to love bonding chemicals that flood their brain. If they did kill any infant it would have been to spare them suffering since life was hard and you had to be in healthy condition to survive, but even then, birth defects could not have been common unless incest was common.
Spelling check. Maori. You mayuri. Just saying.
