I am a Filipino and understanding the culture of Maori is just awesome. Every time I see a Haka being performed, I tear up and become emotional. I see Haka also as a way for men to release their anger without really hurting someone. I hope all men know how to perform Haka. Unity in diversity!

Besides u had no rights in the 1st place this isn't yr country u had some privileges which u were so ungrateful for so u lost them. Ok so u earn more than me? How much do I earn?

[@ericknopf2109]

Wolfie Who Not really a dance. The Haka was meant as a way to both psych up the warriors and psych out their enemies at the same time. When you see them stick their tongue out, it’s on purpose. It’s part of the psyching out. It’s them showing they’re crazy enough to eat you when they kill you. So the outcome they’re trying to get is their enemies running away seeing how crazy the warriors are. Every single time I see a Haka I get chills in how much respect their culture has.

[@robinbrand9658]

I don't know why, but every time I watch these I get an overwhelming emotion to join out and sing with them and it brings me to tears.

[@eizyark]

you are not alone.. i feel the same way.. it feels like i belong to their culture.. so much emotion..

[@aarontabak9704]

the whole world needs to stick together right now good to see we are helping get the ball rolling

[@mazielposada]

I saw a video of haka recently, and really what that dance transmits is very strong, there is something in me that recognizes this ancestral dance because I feel it in my skin, I love it.! 😊

[@evaproft2998]

I love the passion behind the hakas so much and love watching them! It's just amazing and I hope to see a haka in person one day, just to feel the passion and emotions in the air.

[@lachlankemp6418]

Im an Aboriginal fella, but my niece and nephews are half maori on there fathers side (manu family) the haka is powerful to watch and i got chills from watching this. Respect my brothers.

[@jamieparsons6918]

Love the haka, was lucky enough to see England versus New Zealand at rugby at twickenham, and the haka live is something really special

[@sumomilk681]

Most beautiful thing I ever saw. The world should have a dance like this to unite.

[@ButterFly-hc8hn]

Im American and I think the Haka is the coolest thing EVER! I love the way a whole nation is in unity.

[@blackout9108]

I've seen this so many times, still gives me goosebumps every single time. I'm from Argentina but seeing this and watch how it makes people come together like this me makes me feel a great respect for the maori culture

[@adnantariq3346]

As a child I would often laugh at this practice. I though it was slightly crazy. Today , 39 I have nothing but respect, and I want to be a part of the Haka

[@Twitchguy]

The cop joining in sets the tone from oh to bam instantly like a signal let’s do it for real! Great officer there

[@dollineroz]

I'm in love with this culture already 😜. Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪

[@lilyarmas8770]

So does everyone in New Zealand just know it by heart like a national anthem? I've been looking at Haka videos non stop because I'm genuinely fascinated at the intensity of how they display Haka - full of heart and pride.

[@Iwontreadyourreply]

Can only assume that it’s taught in school or simply at a young age since it’s so intertwined in the culture. Seems like one of those things you just, learn...

[@sonnyday6830]

@@Iwontreadyourreply taught in schools and rugby players all do it, plus we have kapa haka groups and have haka competitions, all Kiwis learn it not just Maori

[@maraeacookson1573]

It's not just taught at school, or with sports groups it's learnt mainly within the family, at family events, family gatherings, family parties, anything to do with family we get to learn the songs, the waiata, the haka and it's learnt by being involved with a Haka Group.

This was awesome to see, very proud of my culture! It is very much alive.

Cherish Faleono are you from New Zealand? If so I have a very interesting question to ask you?

[@RipiaKim]

The cop joining in makes this the best haka video on KZbin hahaha

[@oscarsclavi1649]

its amazing the fact that every single person in new zealand has a maori warrior inside ready for battle

[@kukumaoridom728]

We sure do, everybody has warrior inside them it's just in our culture our ancestors tried to make us express this rage through song and dance instead of hiding the rage inside and doing nothing. Every human has this rage and you can never supress it otherwise you become fake

[@DanDanCOYS]

There’s something amazing about the cop joining in. It underlines the power of the culture that he knew he had to join in regardless of his role as a police man. God bless the Maori culture. From an English man who respects this wonderful culture so much.

Lmao same. I think this happens every year for me, I just come back to rewatch haka videos once and then.
