a Ngati Toa Haka and Tika Tonu - welcome back Elder Fox & Elder Modlik

Wellington Airport 20 August 2011
Brother Modlik welcoming back his son Elder Modlik with the Ngati Toa haka, and the Fox boys welcoming back their brother Elder Fox - both elders served in the Sydney Australia mission!
MEAN haka...total goosebump material!

These are the people who very politely but firmly told the US gov't that they weren't going to have an American nuclear powered ship parked next to their island. And they meant it.

I've never heard of this until today. I cannot stop watching these. They are absolutely beautiful and amazingly filled with love. Makes me wish to be NZ just to be part of it.

I am not a part of this culture at all but every time I watch a haka dance being performed I cannot help but feel real emotions and tears of joy just build-up inside of me. This is all quite amazing and I truly wish that some people would just stop being so ignorant about this because I truly believe that it is disrespectful to their/this culture !!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@heir_to_the_promise]

What is the ignorance?

[@ArchFundy]

New Zealand is a land of passion. A land of strength and courage, and also of love and unity. That is the way this Canadian sees New Zealand and its people.

[@patricklastname5646]

Imagine the honor you would feel if welcomed publicly with an ancestral war dance. WOW. These people sure know how to carry on their traditions and what their elders have passed onto them.

[@givenmeigiveno8534]

E ngā kaiārahi o Ngāti Toa ka tino pakari o koutou haka. He pēnei te āhua, te ihi me te wehi ki a Te Rauparahā. Nōna te haka i whakamanatia, i hāpai hei whakaora hoki. Tau Kē whānau!

[@agusontoro]

Kai Herrera and what's wrong with the guys at the first part?

[@CreativelyPhoenix]

Agusontoro I think people don’t know that the Maori and those that follow their traditions don’t all look the same.

[@devwarrior2289]

@@agusontoro Intensity and soul are the words, should have been obvious

[@tessarix]

Would someone PLEASE translate what they are saying/singing/yelling? Its so very, very, very emotional and beautiful and I'd like to know what they're saying.

[@emmascrivener8109]

Search up ‘Tika tonu’ it’s the second haka they preformed and it’s one of the most famous hakas. My family actually did this haka at my uncles funeral a couple years ago. Was very emotional.

[@susanvalencia3437]

Alguien que me explique!! Es una tribu??? O que significa...si quieren pueden explicarme en inglés.

[@dignoribeltre8972]

Según lo que leí es una danza tradicional maorí en la que pueden participar tanto hombres como mujeres y se usa para bienvenida, desear felicidad a alguien etc

[@xxjesspihema]

[@jlynnd1616]

I am so sorry for my ignorance but I thought this was only a Samoan or Hawaiian thing. Boy do I need to learn some more about culture. What are they saying I really want to learn more about this.

[@ANEtonga]

!!!!!!!!

[@caroc8421]

Love this tradition Is such a contradiction to welcome "Elders" with a haka, when centuries ago, Christianity started trying to erase their culture and identity

[@denisepm8554]

Alguien me traduzca en español!!! Pliiis

[@garybaines6442]

So those aren’t elders, those are young men, notice they didn’t really care for the HAKA. They just do the HAKA anywhere these days and for any reason so it’s gotten out of hand.

[@user-fl6oy4nn2w]

[@sheilahunter8807]

Why don't you educate yourself, dear and learn proper English instead of obscenities. Look up the haka and its meaning., Also while you're at it😄 www.lds.org , please meet with the missionaries ( mormon) you won't regret it! 😃😃perhaps you can raise yourself to higher standards and success you are very well capable of, brother. ❤️
