22 November 2008.
Haka done by the trainees of the LSV Company (Limited Service Volunteer Comp) . This Haka was part of their march out parade.

Katoa: No nga hau e wha o Aotearoa matou Kua tae mai matou ki te ope Tu taua ki te riro nga matauranga i konei
Kaea: Ha aha nga matauranga
Katoa: Ko te pumau, ko te maia, ko te whakawhanaungatanga, me ko te tautoko hoki, ko enei nga taonga whakahirahira mo ta matou haerenga
Kaea: Nga raruraru kei mua i a matou
Katoa: Otira, 'Whaia koe te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe he maunga teitei" He mihi mutunga ki nga kaiako. Mena, kahore koutou kia arahi, kia awhina ki te rapu i ta matou huarahi, kua ngaro matou
Kaea: Kaikaha matou
Katoa: Takatu matou
Kia kaha matou

I'm Neither a Maori nor NZ EU, but HAKA still gives me goose bumps. It is so Passionate!

[@kitoboy77]

I'm brazilian, but i love see the Haka. It's the wonderful expression from a country, in this case, the New Zealand. Wonderful culture is this from you guys. Congratulations!

[@Esotericreation1618]

Hey Brazil we love you Lots of Aroha from Aotearoa!! AKA New Zealand, Land of the long white cloud nine.

[@Sanyah]

agreed ! :) All this stupid comments about how it wouldn't work in todays society are so ignorant. They are missing the point :) It's so amazing, I wish I had something like that in my culture !

[@MoodIndigo1]

One of the most moving hakas I've seen in recent times was the one for 3 soldiers who had died. You could feel the grief, the loss, the anger, the solemn nature of the moment.

[@nasuanasua5419]

I agree. This is a brilliant piece of culture which should be shared with the world.

Im american and i love this shit!!! Its intimidating and strong! Keep it up!! I wish americans embraced our natives and did our tribal war dances i'd love it! Im part cherokee and love the natives and our ways of life! So believe me i love seeing this!!

[@llamaajol6481]

Yeah that would be amazing! The only thing is that most people would classify it as 'cultural appropriation'. I guess it's up to the Natives to decide if they want to exchange their culture with modern America, once they do that then America should definitely take part in Native teaches & practices getting more people into what is such a rich & beautiful culture!

[@Carolalvarenga]

impressive in Brazil we do not have the same respect for indigenous natives.

[@divinehyndman5759]

I was in this Haka 2008 only just found this today as I never knew this on KZbin and have lost my CD with over 500 picture's and a couple videos on it of my time on this course in 2008 xxxx good memory's

I can imagine the lines and lines of Gauls, Huns, Celts and many others doing something like this as they faced the Romans. This whitey, white Americans heart sings when I see this. If your in touch with yourself at all, you instantly understand this.

[@Bugfootcz]

I must admit, that war cries got somthing special about them......

[@Esotericreation1618]

its not a war cry its a haka. haka is not a war cry.

[@Bugfootcz]

Esotericreation1618 I thought it was used to "scare" enemy before battle...... therefore its warcry..... or am I wrong?

[@Esotericreation1618]

Your understanding lack's education of traditional Maori culture.

[@Esotericreation1618]

Haka is a spiritual dance that invokes many elements of the mind/body/soul playing part in both sides of energy. It can be used for many things not only just war dance's.

[@Bugfootcz]

Esotericreation1618 (above all, i am sorry fort my english, its not my native language) thanks for explanation..... I only saw once some document about maori, and it was about how great warrior they were, and that they did derisive gestures (like showing tongue)....... and even that all blacks Haka, with translation seemd to me like "annoying enemies"....... and again.... sry for my english, but i think, you will get the point :-)

She does a pretty darned good job of calling that Haka. Its not easy doing that and she portrays the sentiment and spirit behind it pretty well.

Great story, first I'm a Maori and in my younger days 2002 living in Australia, swimming down at Bondi beach I got caught in a rip tide and if it hadn't been for this Irish guy(for the love of god I cant remember his name) I would surely have died that day. after getting getting back to shore I sat trying to comprehend the moment when this Irish hero came up to ask if I was ok, my first words were I owe your a drink..three hundred odd dollars later we stumble out absolutely shit-faced hop in our taxis and part ways. I must of said thank you a million times..anyway fast forward to the 2011 Rugby world cup final I'm there with my closest friends and next to me is another Irish guy all through the game he's telling me, you guys have got this..the bloody scores 8-7 and here he is calming the boys with his positiveness. moral of it all you Irish are my good luck charms and 1 is my god send. for the rest of my days will I respect your great nation and back your rugby team after mine of course. God bless the Irish!!

[@memyselfandi432]

I marched out of LSV December 2020. Six weeks at Youth Development Unit Central right across from Trentham Army Base in Wellington. I was in 2 Section, 1 Platoon. Had an absolute blast most of the time, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Yeah, there were times when it was tough, but that's what it's all about. You go through the tough times, you dig deep, and you learn to do things you never thought you were capable of. And the whole time, you get closer and closer to the people in your platoon until you basically become one big family. To anyone thinking about giving it a go... *DO IT!* When it gets tough, suck it up! as my OC said on day 2 of the course, "I have not come this far to *only* come this far." Also, I'd like to add that the theme, the message, of the LSV Haka is about trainees telling their families about the skills and knowledge they gained on the course, and it's about stepping up and becoming a leader.

[@viliamifangaloka6515]

I marched out LSV 2008 , Burnham Christchurch !! The best decision I ever made and like you said it was hard but the life lessons were worth it !! I was also 1 platoon , section 2 !!!

[@therhinoskull]

I love Hakas. As well as what looks like Army troops perhaps; I have much respect; I'm disabled U.S. Regular Army. At 1:27 it brought a smile to my face, because to me, it looked for a second like he pooped out a hat.

Awesome! my dad works for the army in the US but he recently met someone that works for the army in new zealand and he told me about the war dance and that i had to youtube it. EPIC WAR DANCE! and really amazing tradition!

[@OGDrecksau]

I´m from Germany and I wish we had something traditional we could use like the Haka in Sports like the All Blacks do. I think going on the field and sacrificing an Animal or Human to the old gods, drinking its blood and pushing ourselfs into berzerker rage with wierd plants from our deep dark forests is a little too much XD

[@tysontuki1410]

You could goose march into neighboring countrys, tho I believe that will be abit insensative. No but Germany has alot of culture; from the germanic tribes to the teutonic order. Just because you don't have the haka does not mean you don't have culture. Germany has a dark past and is trying to put it behind her, thats probabt why her culture isn't practiced in day to day life.

[@2WheelTex]

Tyson Tuki the stuff OG is talking about is ancient germanic culture. Look up the lost legion and you'll see what he's talking about. The actual lost legion, not the terrible movie.

[@OGDrecksau]

twofortybravo Tyson Tuki was jokeing :). I liked it. And we wrecked 3 Legions, 1/8 of Roms Army, btw.

[@2WheelTex]

OGDrecksau Always hard to tell with text. I think it's kinda funny that Germany has one of the most active ancient Roman military reenactment communities in the world. Given what we know about their history with the Romans. It's also telling that Julius Caesar's legions built a bridge across the river rine into Germany, then after crossing, went right back to Gaul and destroyed the bridge.

[@OGDrecksau]

twofortybravo Indeed it is funny but much more its interessting. I respect the Roman Legions, because their equipment was a effective mass-product and their discipline was superior to almost everything. But even the biggest Empire on the world has to deal with a loss of 1/8 of its force within 3 days by completly underestimated "Barbarians". In Germanys military today it is illegal to say that an Enemy is bad equiped or bad trained. Lesson learned!

@Morris Anderson You are almost correct, The Maori Expeditionary Force was established about 1914, 3 of my ancestors enlisted they never came home, but the English said that Maori cannot fight against a European race that would be 'rather insensative'. So in 1915 my ancestors were transferred from Egypt to support the New Zealand Division at Gallipoli in Turkey. Their main role was to build trenches supply armaments to the troops and transport food and infrastructure. The English ordered the New Zealand Division to take Chunuk Bair, but without adequate support from the English this task was impossible.The Maori Expeditionary Force realised the Kiwi division were in trouble and by nightfall it was obvious the Kiwi's were losing the battle. Maori knew they were going to fight the Turkish at Chunuk Bair because the Aussies and the English were too busy fighting to capture Lone Pine. Just after midnight and just before the Maori were to attack, the Maori Expeditionary force that consisted of about 3,000 Maori warriors performed a massive haka that resonated and echoed across the hills and the valleys of Gallipoli Peninsula. It was a Haka they say that woke the dead from their sleep in fright. The Turkish authorities record this haka as follows , 'we heard this mind curdling scream it echoed through the hills it got louder and louder until one of our officers yelled out " the cannibals are coming". The attack on Chunuk Bair by Maori was relentless and uncompromising that is all I will say about this attack. The Kiwi's and Maori succeeded in taking Chunuk Bair together while the Allies failed to achieve their goals including the Aussies. In WWII the Famous Maori Battalion was formed in recognition of the success of their ancestors in the Expeditionary Force in WWI. Again Europeans on both sides did not want Maori to fight White people even though more than 70% of the Maori Battalion were part eurpoean and part Maori many were as white as Europeans and you could not tell that they were Maori until they spoke in their native toungue. The Maori Battalion performed a haka at Monte Casino to torment the Germans. Early in the morning the Maori Battalion performed another haka it was led by their injured comrades who moved forward first distracting the Germans, just before the fighting started this group split apart allowing the mainforce to come through screaming out in haka they performed a bayonet charge and the Germans quickly succummed to this attack.

[@RomilosFronimides]

Its an amazing traditional war dance, always makes me emotional. My ancestors (Ancient Greeks) didn't have that in front the enemy. They were dancing "Pyrichios" before march towards the battlefield, not in the battlefield. The where carrying very heavy panoply to dance. Also, some of my ancestors (Ancient SPARTANS) didn't have to fight at all, most of the times. They had so freaky reputation, that when their enemies facing them and see their red cloaks waving in the wind and their ultra shining shields, they simply flee without fight. This Haka dance is superb emotional dance, everybody should respect it and be silent when is performed.

This is beautiful and I'm so proud to be living in New Zealand and so proud of my Maori and Pacific island whanau. :) Mauri Ora xx

[@Criticall77]

Awesome stuff guys! One of the best hakas I've ever seen. Must've been an awesome experience to see it live!!

[@doggiesarus]

My army days. Not so fun. You all are AMAZING!!!!

[@marclongon]

just amazing! @Emma Wink is completely right, in some kinds of haka, women get behind men supporting with their voice and showing their stand

[@dwaynemorales22]

Im from Puerto Rico and this is great. I love how native traditions are being perpetuated by non maori people and how maori has prevail over hundreds of years. Greetings from Puerto Rico.

[@ForrestHorn]

I am of Swedish descent, but I greatly admire the Haka.It's an excellent esprit de corps and morale builder. I want YOU guys on my side! :)

[@LeftyConspirator]

To me, it is an indication that the entire tribe (or, unit, for a lot of purposes fairly similar) are standing together as one, and that the haka is a representation of their communal will and dedication.

[@otumoetaipat]

[@marmaduke954]

I was in New Zealand in 1969 on the way home from Viet Nam.. I fell in love with the country. May God bless New Zealand and the Maori and may the Haka spread all over the world.

I'm using google translator. I apologize in advance for grammatical errors. I'm from Polish. I am in awe of the dance of war "HAKA" which is part of your tradition. Honors your courage and memory of tradition. I have to admit that the video you have posted a comment caused in me chills. I wonder how it really looks like, close up. Yours sincerely. I wanted to send a private message but I was not able to. So pasting a message here.

[@theroebuck45]

[@MrHenryTheChicken]

Actually, her voice is perfect for this particular haka.

[@TheHornedOne81]

Warrior Spirit... its a beautiful thing. Keeping the traditions of your people and serving in the new warrior class. May your Gods see your strength and may your war faces strike fear into the hearts of your enemies.

[@hakaboy6924]

New Zealand army is in Helmand province and doing fine thank you for your concern

[@deborahs.jacobs9102]

In this violent world of aggression, warrior values are vital for defense. Maori pride shows respect and responsibility. Thank you for sharing this haka and the story of the LSV Company. Show the world what you do.

[@yukowalker7046]

I'm not sure what they are saying but all Haka I see is so spiritual, I can feel that. Amazing...

[@lowkoking9640]
