Hello, I am Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and South Sea Islander. I come from the Birri Gubba Tribe and I am a Traditional Owner. I noticed that you are interested in our beautiful Cultures. I also noticed that you are British? My Mob actually rescued British castaways like James Morrill. I think you might be interested in a true story that you would like to know about since most people just see the conflict side between us. Good video. 🖤

the maori haka was saying in short "we are here to defeat you, but we respect you" the aboriginal war cry says "youve all come to the wrong place, on this land, we will defeat you, leave or face the brutality of war with us"

As an Australian I obviously love our Aboriginal and Torres Strait people performing their traditional war cry but have been a fan of the Maori Haka since childhood. My finest memory of the Haka was on a holiday in the Cook Islands, the resort had as entertainment a group of New Zealand school kids performing ceremonial songs and chants for the mainly Japanese tourists who as usual were all up close and personal taking hundreds of photos , the kids both boys and girls wearing traditional outfits and simulated face tattoos and bearing warclubs and other traditional wepons ,proceeded to perform the Maori challenge normally performed before sporting events , I'm not telling a lie when I tell you that two lady tourists fainted on the spot and several more exited the building , also as an Australian group we did the right thing and almost pissed ourselves laughing . Another impressive Haka to check out is the opening ceremony from when New Zealand hosted the Olympic games (1990 Auckland) thousands of people were involved and was simply spectacular .

I have had the honour to see several NZ Haka while an Aussie at the NZ embassy in the US. They were to welcome people rather than intimidate (and ended with the traditional Māori Hongi which is special and unique). Even a welcome Haka is intensely powerful though. Amazing in real life. Made me well up. Such a beautiful culture.

[@queenslanddiva]

The first one was the Haka, the second was the war cry. The Haka is chilling and wonderful. The reason why there was so much more noise for the war cry is because it's Australian and this game was in Australia. Can't help you with meanings. But that was spine tingling thanks

[@youareawesome5236]

The game was played in Townsville so plenty of the mob up there. It's also traditional to stay silent for hakas as they are used at different events with different meanings.

[@1legend517]

The reason is because we've all seen and heard the Haka thousands of times and it gets old. This is one of the only few times anyone's seen an Aboriginal war cry at the beginning of a match!

[@jenniferharrison8915]

Maori are a strong warrior race, this is what the Brits saw when they landed, can you imagine!? It's is totally riveting, you cannot miss any of it! I have been to NZ and they have large war totems too! I can imagine the Welsh Rugby players being this scary! I always stop for bagpipes, and cry sometimes over a marching band! It's absolutely a war challenge! As I said previously, Maori and Aboriginal are very different cultures! I've never seen that War Cry before! 😀🤗👍

[@1legend517]

The aboriginals are tough too. Surviving against all the odds in a harsh land for 60,000 years and against large fearsome animals when they first arrived on the continent and extreme climate shifts. They managed to tame this extreme land and adapt to it. And then surviving again thousands of years later due to near genocide at the hands of the arriving white people. If that's not worthy of being called "strong", I don't know what is!

[@stephaniehawkins5211]

Not only do the Maori men have huge stature and furious facial expressions but their faces and bodies were covered in tattoos.

[@Laraine3]

Yes! Maori women were tattooed too. Traditionally, beauty in Maori culture was measured by how fierce someone looked. This included women.

[@mareky1234]

These are Aussie's and Kiwis. We have always been mates. And we fiercely back each up in time of war, or during disasters etc. We are EXTREMELY effective when fighting together (ANZACS). However. We simply love to fight with each other too. And whilst its mostly on the sports field. The piss taking can appear (to foreigners) to be brutal and insultingly rude too. My advice is to not get involved, otherwise both sides will instantly stop, band together and (figuratively speaking) attack the interloper for ruining their local entertainment. Then share a beer together and together laugh at the interlopers expense. Aussie's and Kiwis love each Like family (we are btw), but we love to Battle each other even more. Especially on the sports field. But alls good once the game is over.

[@MusMasi]

@@xDRAGONSTARx Its not The Haka, its A Haka there are hundreds, its like saying the dance, and its only one of many dance forms that Maori have. When we mention haka we call it a haka not the haka. Just like songs, poems and dances there are many that are composed.

[@kerrydoutch5104]

This must have been an Australian game. I didnt catch a lot of what they were saying but our indigenous boys sounded like they were saying who they were and where they were from. The first fellow was saying he was of the Warradjuri nation. There at least a couple of hundred indigenous nation/tribal groups with their own "country" language and traditions. A lot of which has been lost. So its with great pride they say what their country is. Warradjuri country is a vast area of Central NSW. Those languages both groups were using were their own local languages. So we wouldnt know what they were saying. Spine tingling nevertheless.

[@lindascott6902]

The NZ Maori and national rugby teams have been performing a pre-match haka since 1888. The most commonly-known haka, tho not performed here, is Ka Mate Ka Mate, written in about 1820 by Te Rauparaha. Haka are not restricted to sporting events but performed in many societal settings (weddings, funerals, and even school dances). There has been a push in Australia for a similar Indigenour war cry to be adopted before sporting games. I think this was one of the first times one was performed ahead of the Indigenous All-Stats game.

[@SilentHotdog28]

Both cultures have been suppressed by the British and later colonists. Indigenous war cries do exist, however since there are so many cultures and languages, it's hard for there to be a unified one.

[@danmc_2783]

The indigenous peoples here in Australia were terribly oppressed and their culture almost wiped out through forced assimilation. The war cry the Australian Indigenous All Stars perform is a more modern creation, derived from traditional dances that have been preserved and different indigenous dialects, meant to bring the many different indigenous cultures together. This was an an idea from former indigenous players and elders as a way to represent Indigenous culture and "invoke the spirits of the land" in a more general way. It's clearly inspired by the idea of the Haka which are performed by many Polynesian nations now before sporting events and particularly Rugby Union matches The Haka is an older tradition before Rugby Union games in New Zealand, dating back to the late 19th century. There are numerous New Zealand Haka, with different dances for different occasions. These dances have been far better preserved due mostly to the fact that being a war like people and much less spread out than the indigenous Australians the Maori people of New Zealand manged to force a treaty with the British which helped save their culture and customs. The Ka Mate Haka they originally performed is absolutely a huge adrenaline rush for any sporting fan, simultaneously thrilling and piss-your-pants blood chilling. You definitely need to check that out, live and in person preferably, some time asap I believe it would be great if all the different countries playing international sport could delve into their national cultural history to find ancient war cries, ceremonies and dances and come up with something to both welcome worthy opponents from distant lands and challenge them to do battle upon their home soil

Also I know we are getting better but after spending time in NZ we have a bit of a way to go until we treat our indigenous people as well as the NZ treat their Māori people.. Great reaction

[@amandacasey1946]

I haven't watched NRL or Rugby etc for many years and so, growing up, I had only seen years of Kiwis doing Hakas, which of course everyone loves. This was the first time seeing an Aboriginal war cry and it was so great to hear the crowd cheering. When they got closer, dancing towards the Kiwis, it stirred something up inside me and I got emotional and proud (I'm not Indigenous) that we get to see this culture. I only recognised one word, Wiradjuri, as I happen to be on Wiradjuri country. It's very sad that so many of the languages have been lost. I hope our Indigenous cultures can keep being celebrated and embraced. Lovely when the two teams came together. Great video.

[@bitey6709]

I thought at the time it unfair that one side was allowed to take to the field with weapons.

Ngayaga Murramarang gharrangal. I am an Aboriginal woman from the Murramarang tribe. Always touches me so deeply to see these and to see other people outside of our country show so much love and respect for ours and other first nations cultures. Just wanted to add that the embrace at the end is called the Hongi, it's a Māori tradition and means sharing of breath.

As an Australian nothing comes close to stirring my emotions like the Haka does. Almost brings a tear to my eye each and every time.

[@behinddreaming]

Glad you found this to react to. I see the layers in both as an Australian but also as someone who lived in Aotearoa New Zealand for a time. Plus I see similarities between the Māori haka and other Polynesian cultures - I have family who are Cook Islanders and others who are Tokelauan. You may find translations of what was said in Māori. However I'm not sure what languages were spoken on the Australian side because there are many possible languages spoken. May be dependent on where this game was played. One thing to notice with the the war cry is how many move based on particular animals. While the haka and the facial expressions connect can also be seen in artwork found in many Māori meeting places. Enjoy learning more. I still have a lot to learn myself.

The NZ Haka has been pretty much synonymous with NZ sport for a few decades at least, I haven't seen this particular haka before so it was really interesting to watch. But the respect shown at the end with the two sides coming together was awe inspiring. Can someone please tell me why they did that? Is it because it was just a display and that there was no ill will felt between the two sides? I have so much to learn about Aboriginal culture, I feel ashamed I don't know more.

[@SilentHotdog28]

Tonga have the Sipi Tau and Samoa have the Siva Tau. I learned about the Siva Tau from WWE of all things, because there are Samoan wrestlers called the Usos there who used to perform a modified version before every match. I later did research on my own and watched both the Sipi Tau and Siva Tau, very kool and gets the blood pumping.

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

As an Australian, I have to say there's just nothing like a Haka. Any New Zealander can participate as long as they've been trained by and get lead by a Maori. Means there's always at least one Maori on any big league sports team! I can tell you the Australian team is using some movements and sounds copied from native animals. I think each first Nation has a totem animal: an animal that was the origin creature that the nation of people directly descend from, have a related ancestor of, or a guardian spirit. There's a fantastic video of a Maori bride's family welcoming her white husband in with a wedding Haka.

In the maori haka when the different people split off and call the other players they are showing where they come from.

The people splitting from the circle also come from thay tangata whenua or the same ancestral home.

They are saying, 'You're gonna die'. But in Australia, there are many languages, cultures and traditions, which is not surprising, given the depth of history there. The Kiwis are a much younger and homogenous culture. This is why they have the haka, because they are as one. And it is not the sort of thing that you want to be on the receiving end of. But having said that, don't mess with the Wongai.

Majority of us 90% of us Maori have Scottish, English, Irish blood in us 🙏

[@samvitale1289]

I believe the Scottish Irish would definitely have a war cry from back in the day

[@matengawhatarangi5366]

Are gonna do the 2023 haka vs Aboriginal war cry

[@MusMasi]

At the Beginning of this Haka, when the Individuals are speaking/yelling its like an introduction, they are stating their origins, Their Mounga/Mountain, Their River/Awa, Their Tribe/Iwi and their Vaka, sorry Waka/Ancestor Voyaging Canoe. I assume the Indigenous might be doing something similar but I do not understand their language they have like over 200, but they might be also sharing their ancestry and links to Country.

What's even more scary is that Maoris were once cannibals.

[@Twopennysau]

Check out some Tonga vs Samoa hakas

[@Twopennysau]

PS the touching of noses at the end is a Maori greeting that in this case, the Aussie Aboriginals embraced. In the NRL we have the Auckland Warriors that have a higher Maori contingent and the South Sydney Rabbitohs that historically (back to 1908) have a higher Aboriginal contingent in their playing squad. These 2 teams make up the highest percentage of ‘Indigenous & Māori All Stars’ teams. I’m a rabid Rabbitoh!

[@harpyhill]

Those ain't even hakas mate, they're boring to watch lmao 🤣

[@tlties]

Who won this fight/match?

[@bodybalanceU2]

this is before a league game and in australia so of course the crowd will be shouting for their mob

[@chloeew4627]

The kiwi Hakka is the only traditional one . Never heard of the Aust one until this century.

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

It is ironic and tragic how disrespected Aboriginal people and cultures are in Australia as opposed to New Zealand where Maori culture is nurtured and embraced.

[@dixonbeejay]

I am of Maori Scottish, English, ,Irish blood William Wallace runs through my veins

[@amygone2pot]

Great video

[@kennethbell-hn9zv]

If only Aboriginals had've displayed so much passion when the first fleet arrived there would've been a war which would've called for a treaty which the English under English law did not want to happen when they could just take the country.

[@mrteddyishort]

Aussie here, trust me they are war chants, and they do them because they are going to fuck the other team up.
