Elder Grace Farewell

For the Grace Family

[@Sheltieshangrila]

It truly is one of the most beautiful traditions I've ever seen.

[@francoissuissae6217]

It's more powerful when everyone speaks Te Reo & understands the significance & reaches to their tipuna (ancestoes) for inspiration while invoking the power of the gods To bring power from on high

[@nycopperwarrior9734]

We in the west have a lot to learn from these people especially we black people the love here just brings tears to my eyes it's just amazing to see that in today's time we people are still like this

[@humanityissupreme.2575]

The black of the West are of no use seriously. Because they're the ones who are indigenous to the land of America but even then they let their identity, their language their tradition get destroyed by the hands of Invader Europeans headed by Amerigo Vespucci and Christopher Columbus.

[@joycelee6021]

Love the haka wish I could see it in person

[@sandyscheeks9210]

I feel so emotional right now. My tears were literally falling.The Haka is truly something so behold. It has so much power.

[@MrGchiasson]

I've just discovered these videos. Amazing! The warrior brotherhood is epic. I've watched Haka at weddings, funerals, schools, a respected teacher retiring and all the students performed this.. dance..tribute, respect, honor...there are so many descriptions! We have nothing in the west to even come close to it. Respect & appreciation from America!

[@humanityissupreme.2575]

You literally destroyed your own indigenous culture and peoples of the continent of North America. There were more than 50 Indigenous Languages, Cultural Groups which are now facing extinction. Europeans when came to the land of America are responsible for every sin done against Indigenous Americans.

I adore the Maori's and their culture. Beautiful people. I lived there for 4 years (Scottish) but had to go to Australia because my mother was dying. I still miss it enormously. My mother had bagpipes at her funeral. The Scots and Maori's respect each other.

To be so loved is a sensation I will never know...God’s Will!

[@jero5255]

There is no god. It's YOUR choice.

[@crazydee1955]

@@jero5255 there IS a God. I pity you. But it is not His will for someone to not be loved. God is love.

So beautiful!!¡!

[@karenmccarthy5841]

whats the story here...such a beautiful send off!!!!!

[@CarolynDenison]

The man died. This is out of respect for his family. Search Haka it's customary

[@jtalbot34]

@@CarolynDenison he didn’t die 😂 he was being sent off to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Male missionaries for our church serve a mission after turning 18 and they serve for 2 full years with no contact except emails and phone calls twice a year one for Mother’s Day and the other is Christmas. Our missionaries are sent all over the world..

[@jerusalem5646]

@@jtalbot34 I thought that haka was against Christianity ✝️ or the Mormon church ⛪️ because of its pagan beliefs 🤷🏼‍♀️is this true..

[@BrunoBieber13]

@@jerusalem5646 no. Not true

[@Ferghel]

respect 👏

[@danireadingjournal]

Is this the same family’s from the famous Haka wedding? I feel like I recognize the groom and others,

[@lindalee7322]

I wish translations were provided.

[@pideri]

Some familiar faces here, from the famous wedding haka?

[@jlynnd1616]

It seems as though the Latter Day Saints is a common denomination in this culture. Is that true?

[@zavod-311]

7:20 Emotional wedding Haka?

[@jtalbot34]

Giorgio Cortellessa yes!

[@lindalee7322]

What religion are these people in? Are they Mormons?

[@jtalbot34]

Yes, they’re sending off their family member Elder Grace to serve a mission.

[@jlynnd1616]

I am so ignorant of cultures I'm ashamed of myself. I thought this was something only Hawaiians or Samoans did. I need to brush up on my cultural understanding. Is this even in Hawaii or samoa?
