Respect 🤜🏼🤛🏼

I didn't start the video and I was already crying (ok, I'm on my fifth video for the night, but still.) XD

[@Stefanie3]

@binaryruffian You are funny, the women do the Haka just the same! You don't get far with your feminist BS.

[@Stefanie3]

@binaryruffian That's very sweet of you :) Thank you, maybe I shouldn't take everything so serious.

[@Stefanie3]

@binaryruffian Sometimes it's difficult to please everyone, right?! I keep on telling myself to shut up, but that doesn't work all the time either 😅 Just once in a while you meet someone nice! Thank you.

Every daughter deserves a welcome back like that.

Then why did you forgot your culture traditions that the Egyptians were known for since thousands of years and lost it to Islamic Invasion.

What an amazing way to greet your daughter when she returns from her journey (regardless of what her journey is about, I am not a religious person myself). He seems like a fantastic father to me to do such a thing for his child.

[@shredmonkeymatt96]

I'm lds myself and I really appreciate the respect in your words. Also, people who think haka dances are funny or strange needs to learn about other cultures ! Thank you again 😊

[@kbeking2610]

Notice how the father wipes his own tears at the end? You can tell how proud he is of his daughter.

I always cry when I see these Haka receptions. I feel so many things, just can't describe it.

That's exactly what happens to me everytime I see things like that! It's so beautiful, so deep, so intense!

[@sharoncarmello2212]

I'm wondering why these different haka dances keep moving me to tears

because of there strength and bond with each other

I know this is late but the haka is a type of war chant/dance the maori and it is very deep within their culture.

the laughter off-screen is a sign of low mind.

[@Deyyavu28]

true

[@SilverRadiant]

Yeah agree

[@geerenmo]

Yes I was thinking to myself, how the hell is this funny? It's a beautiful cultural thing, you're lucky if you would be standing there to witness it. The laughing people are 9 out of 10 times folks from the "modern" world in the west, who barely or don't even got any culture themselfs.

[@tojiroh]

Usually it's a nervous laughter, not lack of respect. Tribal dances are mighty impressive for the unprepared (Haka most of all!) and some times it's all one can do not to turn around and run!

[@erinokeeffe4696]

The girls are crying, not laughing.

[@tessarix]

I'm back to watch this again for the third time and after three views I am again choked up with emotion and taken out of my worries for a minute and 43 seconds. I cannot seem to get enough of it. I cry each time, but its a strangely happy cry. Love, love, love, love, love watching these emotional haka!!

[@tessarix]

Also, I saw a Haka being done at a football game and that made me cry too! Its so beautiful and feelings that are pure and emotional and just a joy to watch - and physically, actually feel the emotion and love there!

[@ammonbarney7690]

It is always an honor to witness a Haka. Even years later. There is nothing more passionate than this.I feel blessed.

[@cathymacfarlane3626]

Yes, definitely brought tears - thanks for sharing this wonderful experience!

[@arielleforeman2923]

This is the only part of the “Mormon” church that respects and honors women in this way. As a ‘born’ member in 1989, I still use the word Mormon as it does not offend me and the ‘Book’ I was taught. Blessed be all, and I support your beliefs. Wonderful video!

[@norrinradd8923]

you use the name "Mormon" because you are a member of a cult for that is the very definition........ good day to you sir

[@Neverforgethaiti]

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 !!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@anntrope491]

So nice to see a culture that reveres woman...THE VESSELS OF NEW LIFE...1/2 OF THE WHOLE...MOTHERS, SISTERS, DAUGHTERS, WIVES, GRANDAGHTERS...THIS WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE IF WOMAN WERE TREATED WITH THE RESPECT THAT GOD'S CREATION DEMANDS....MY FATHER WAS MURDERED, MY MOTHER ABANDONED ME, MY FAMILY ABUSED ME...GOD'S CREATION...FIGHTING TO SURVIVE..."IT TAKES A STRONG MAN TO BE GENTLE"...LOVE...WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW...

I just learned what this was and I respect it and find it beauitful and touching. Now... I had no idea what this was or anything about it. I wish we were taught about this because I would probably have been very confused and freaked out if I witnessed a haka not knowing what it is or anything about the culture. Researching and educating myself I am able to enjoy this and be very moved by it ❤ So beauitful!

[@valeshia385]

haka are not funny and that person is being very disrespectful to the moari people and if the person who was laughing would have been facing the long end of a moari weapon and the reason why im saying this is if you taunt or say something bad about them 1st u will get the moari warning and if ur still not listening to them until u driven from their land and just like homey the clown moari people dont play that

[@JR-kv6ez]

So basically you're saying Maori are violent people who don't belong in society?
