My culture is not preferred by others, but I do not just take everything about my culture and just presume it's "beautiful" and moving. There is a lot of TERRIBLE aspects to our culture and that of those in this video. The fact that you label them victims in your mind and feeling compelled to then justify and glorify or glamorize everything that they want to do shows a lack of discernment. People who use emotions and not discern is not very wise.

I love watching various Kapa Haka as they remind me of how beautiful NZ is, and I notice if you watch old footage they have evolved from when I was a kid. Way more refined now. This one is fantastic, but I hope these dances don't change too much more. The other thing that people probably don't realize is that the melody and music is mostly European. So the modern day cultural displays we see are a blend of Polynesians stylization that evolved especially I think from middle of last century (and previously through church music). ie Elvis Presley and 1950-60's fascination with Polynesian and Hawaiian culture etc. I would love to see a documentary on this topic, as it fascinates me. I have learnt several 'Maori' songs on guitar and sort of play them in that style of guitar strumming and sometimes feel guilty that I play them at all as I am Pākehā, and I know my chords feel like I am strumming something from Disney's Moana and not quite right.

If kapa haka can reach into your being and sing the same song that your soul sings, then that is the highest compliment indeed to tangata whenua (people of the land). It shows you understand the interconnectedness of all nonliving and living to each other, papatuanuku (earth mother and her land, sea & forests) and to the planes of existence (the spiritual, the physical & the natural).

Then you feel exactly what the haka is meant to help you feel and remind you of the interconnectedness of all nonliving and living beings to each other, nature, spirit and physical realms. And as one, we feel everything. The concept of mauri (life force) is felt when you see the hands wiri (fluttering hand movement) as they tap the astral line that connects us to our ancestors so they awaken and see us honour them, to mana (authority/power) in how we stand for our culture and people as a collective, protecting traditions but also adapting them to maintain the cultures survival, to tapu (sacred and restricted customs) that protect Māori knowledge, and wairua (spirit) that connects us all. I have no doubt that tapping back into your roots and your culture's dancing and singing traditions,will help you find all that you feel when watching kapa haka. And if not well then, māori is a collectivistic culture, it is more than accommodating in embracing those that embrace us. Ngā mihi nui :-)

Wow... Lots of respect for these youngsters who are demonstrating their traditional roots. Well this act resembles me similar to "Maa Kali", while both the Haka and Maa Kali's act involve movements and expressions that convey power and intensity. The Haka is a traditional dance form of the Māori people of New Zealand. It is performed by a group of people with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment . The Haka is often performed to welcome distinguished guests, or to acknowledge great achievements, occasions, or funerals. Maa Kali is a Hindu goddess who is considered to be the goddess of time, change, power, and destruction of evil.

I'm glad they teach ALL Kiwis about the Maori culture, not just the ones that are descendants from the three original canoes. Less chance of it dying out that way. The Welsh are doing the same, so that the language and culture of their country isn't lost. I wish that the USA would teach our First Nation cultures, stories and languages, there are so many! I was born on what would have been Pawnee land, raised on Apache land and finally settled in Kaw land. But the last of the recognized Kaw died a few years back, and now they are no more. The Ghost Dance has been forbidden for so long that almost no one knows it anymore. We need to throw appropriation out the window. Teach Truth to all that will hear.
