POWERFUL!!! | EMOTIONAL HAKA FUNERAL (DOUBLE REACTION!!!)

[@fionadaniel4056]

Kia ora Sean. I am a Maori woman born and raised here in NZ. I'm going to try and answer your questions as best as I can. The 2nd/1st Regiment haka is an NZ Royal Army's haka- It belongs to them as it was written specifically for the members of the army corp. Background- we lost 3 military personnel while on deployment in Iraq or Afghanistan- They were welcomed back to barracks with this haka, we call this type of situation a powhiri ( the welcoming) during this time it is a state of "tapu" or sacredness. On completion of a powhiri, the environment returns to "Noa" or peace. The bodies are able to lay to rest in state to allow for family, friends and others to pay respect before they begin their journey onto the spiritual world. So in this "tapu" state, it is a time where all the anger, wild energy and upset can be communicated. Once the "tapu" state is over. There can only be"Noa". The recording to showing all the love, respect and "Mana" the living give to the dead. Such a powerful haka. Then you have the Haka for the brother. This haka is farewelling the brother on his final journey to return back to the Earth. The haka itself is from the people of Tainui- I know this because of the language used in the haka. So this specific haka is performed by those who affiliate themselves with the Tainui Tribe. All that emotion you're referring to is, we call mauri- That mauri helps the dead to find their pathway into the afterlife and to call on our ancestors to be waiting to meet the dead ( I hope that makes sense) Now as for the act of Haka: Brother you can be black, white, green, yellow. The criteria to perform haka is simply- Understand the words you speak. Every movement represents the words spoken so when you are doing your actions, do it with purpose and design. Haka can be performed in any situation. Celebrations, Funerals, In times of great sorrow, in war, name it... Haka is all about showing your emotions! What a long-winded comment lol

@holcroft1969 Kia ora cuzzy. Thanks for your nice words. Respect from a Maori all the way from New Zealand

[@TimberwolfC14]

Not long-winded at all. A clear concise explanation covering the main points.

[@shoediishgunner1718]

I’m not from New Zealand, I’m from Canada, from a Cree tribe and too see this beautiful Haka, I cried. You can feel their emotions and thank you for not disrespecting this beautiful culture because I seen other Americans being so disrespectful to the Haka. So, I thank you for showing respect and honour to our brothers and sisters all over the world. Like Late-Bob Marley said “ONE LOVE”.

[@jasonjohinke5651]

Everyone should do a haka bro... it's welcoming, it's war, its celebrating. it's a thousand dances, it's honoring your ancestors and letting their mana through you

[@kaweramNZL]

[@lordo2223]

As a person of Maori decent and a person who has taught people of other races and creeds the history of haka's from my region and to my knowledge there are no such barriers to learning a "haka" for anyone as long as you understand and learn the meaning of the haka, words, actions and meaning context of when and were is appropriate which are which meaning there are haka's for different situations war, celebrating or yes death and reminders of history and warnings as long as you respect it and a taught the meaning I'd support any learning

[@edrianluyt8735]

I feel like the people from NZ actually knows the Haka too well to answer your question in full. I'm South African and see NZ as our rival but also as have a huge respect for their Culture. So the way that I understand the Haka is the following. Dances like this are part of the Maori culture. The Native inhabitants of NZ. Almost all of the Polynesian/Pacific Nations like Samoa, Tonga etc. have similar dances. So it seams to be a common cultural value shared amongst the Pacific Island nations. The Haka itself is specific to NZ and part of the Maori culture, but I have seen numerous New Zealanders from European decent also perform the Haka, so it seems to be universally accepted across NZ, but still maintain the strong link to Maori Culture. Personally as an outsider I would never consider performing the Haka in any serious Capacity. (As South Africans we often would mock it among ourselves, but that is always in good spirits to try and rile up our rivals. Deep down we know the significance it carries in NZ) . I feel the same way about Polynesian Tribal tattoos. It's pretty, but I feel it belongs to the NZ (Or the Pacific people). Having said all that, I'm not sure how New Zealanders feel about outsiders performing the Haka. Maybe if it's done with respect, they would not mind?!? I'm no expert when it comes to the Haka, but I thought it might add value as an outsider, but also familiar with the Haka.

[@bme9161]

Well said 👏

[@thedonfonz2481]

Mate, imma Samoan Kiwi and your point of view, definitely adds colour to getting an understanding. Its easily mistaken to be fraudy and misplaced if you dont do the haka right. There is no one define answer but in my opinion. for someone who is not familiar with the kiwi culture, yet alone the Maori culture, its hard to know when are where to begin. If we gonna be specific, my bro, if the situation where you are amongst kiwis and you learn one - mate, easy! To pick it up from scratch, it would be wise to seek sources that can tell you about the Maori culture, an elder, a program? But there isn't a requirement needed to do the haka - just need to be mindful of its significance and you've gotten guidance from a Kiwi or more importantly, one of my Maori family then surely one can be doing a haka with th rest of us! React to Haka by Beats by Dre ! gives you an insight on what is Haka

[@riverstyx274]

Respect dude :)

[@ramonapanui3088]

Well said bro as a New Zealander / Māori I absolutely think that’s right as long as it’s done respectfully

[@quentinkupenga2779]

[@juniordonnelly9894]

This haka bro is basically our marines giving a goodbye to a great warrior. Enormous respect and love. Not every haka is a war dance... some are an a appreciation of that persons life

[@mamat4821]

It's all about the mana which is the family, the love , loyalty. Status you don't even have to be Maori but mainly the respect I am a New Zealand Maori from Nga Tahu Christchurch New Zealand . The Haka still give me chills n makes me feel soo proud to be Maori . Kia Kaha which means stay strong 💪

[@Tehinewai]

A very respectful reaction, thank you. I would really recommend the Beats By Dre haka video, it gives some context to why we do it. Much luv from New Zealand.

[@dcaotearoa]

Respect bro. The Haka truly belongs on the battlefield and its nice that you ledwith the farewell Haka displayed by some of our Warriors. It was also displayed as a hostile welcome towards visiting tribes for thousands of years. Nowdays you'll find Haka is performed mostly for ALL occasions...lol within the culture and our sporting institutions. Stay #safenstrapped over there bro! All love from Te Aotearoa!

[@MrBurnsy81]

Another NZer here randomly suggested your videos, thanks KZbin algorithm!!!! Love your travels down the rabbit hole of our culture, especially as it relates to haka. Lots of other comments made, but to reiterate there are different haka relating to different iwi (tribes) & different situations (to challenge, to welcome, to pay respects etc), all with different words and corresponding actions. Although I am not of Maori origin, it never fails to stir the emotion seeing a passionately performed haka, especially in larger groups. Look forward to seeing more of your haka/rugby/league reactions 👊

[@WololoLazarus]

Great video bro, much respect I think you understand the haka a lot better than you think There are so many variations to haka. Each iwi (tribe) may have their own haka, or each whānau (family) might have a variation. Some haka all Māori know. To answer your last question, their aren't so much requirements in haka but rather roles, and everyone can have a role - but the kaia leads, here we see a brother take over when the kaia feels too much pain. For a bit of context 'ha' is 'to breathe' and 'ka' is 'alight' so each haka breathes into life a certain truth about being a human and it is a recognition of hardship while holding firm and defiant

[@RareSoulTV]

damn, I just learned so much from that comment. thank you for the info 🙏🏾💯

[@jamiebrown1235]

Check out the wedding haka, it’s so damn beautiful. Brings bride to tears. There’s a video with subtitles and translation. Also - Alex Aiono is a musician that’s blowing up in the states. His family greets him at the airport.

[@madamelebuff]

Any person, religion, colour, anyone who is a Kiwi & who loves this land. Loves its culture of oneness with these Islands & oceans, can connect to NZ's history & present when they perform the Haka. Its energy comes from the ground up, but it is carried with Kiwis wherever they travel in the world. Mass Haka's show up in some strange places, my son was in an impromptu one in Londons Trafalgar Square, he said there were 100's of homesick Kiwis after it. It is a normal natural part of growing up Kiwi.

At 1.50 you ask who the 2/1 are?

That is filmed on the Parade ground with the barracks in the background being named after various battle honors from the battalion Colors.

You can learn the haka there are different haka's from different Tribes here in New Zealand. React to another legend All Black Jerry Collins have a blessed day

Different haka. Army has their own ones, plural, different tribes have their own ones. Schools have their own ones. Everybody has a haka these days. Makes events super entertaining.

Im a Maori and we don’t mind if any culture performs it. As long as u know what it’s about or know what u are doing, then it’s totally fine. I’ve performed the Haka with some mates who are Japanese. The haka is about respect, and is used to Support or give respect. But I’m sure most of the world would only know it as a War Dance. The Maori Culture is very welcoming to every culture. We welcome everyone to enjoy the culture, after all we are all the same. We are all one people, the whole world needs to see that.

To answer your question brother, the only requirement for you to perform a haka AND be valid in NZ in doing so, would be to learn what the specific haka is and what it means, what haka as a whole represents, and just educate yourself a little bit in our culture’s tikanga (practices, beliefs etc.). You don’t need to be an expert in all things Māori, you don’t even have to be of Māori descent. When people see someone has done their homework and has respect for our culture, you’ll be welcomed with open arms
