Can you imagine being a native, a few thousand years ago, and seeing that from across the field right before a battle? Holy shit, that would make my blood curdle. That is so emotionally moving.

[@gryphon0468]

Fun fact, humans (Maori) have only inhabited New Zealand for about 700 years.

[@pube66]

Gryphon0468 that's 700 years more than euros.

This brought tears to my eyes...Im not Kiwi..But I lived there when I was kid...I always felt like I belonged there somehow!!!...KIWI @ HEART and very Proud

[@ocampofotografia]

Guys this is just awesome, I'm Mexican but lived in NZ for some years and I'm always spreading the word about how awesome NZ and its people is. This video made me remember one of many things of why I love your country. ARRIBA MAORIS!

[@aliservan7188]

Can anyone explain why I, an atheist and academic, gets so emotional at seeing a haka? It's even made me cry. Freaking powerful stuff.

[@kinasandwich7624]

Watch "Haka documentary beats by Dre " enjoy

[@aliservan7188]

Bob Perenara Thanks Bob. I'll never really understand, I'm not Maori, but the Haka provides a tiny glimpse of what it must mean to be Maori. Gives me goose flesh, which is deeply weird for me, I'm about a non spiritual as it's possible to be, but the Haka taps into something primal I didn't even know existed.

[@kinasandwich7624]

+ali Servan like he explains in the video. I think it's the spirit of ancient times, and those who can feel it are connected to it. We love with all that we are, and we will defend what we love with all that we are. You might like to see and listen to the music of Tiki taane "TANGAROA" at the NZMA I hope you like it.

[@aliservan7188]

Bob Perenara That was fantastic thanks! Now following on Spotify. This is what makes life worth living

[@kinasandwich7624]

+ali Servan Your welcome 😊

[@toaria10]

[@SmeezySisters]

Even though i'm Pakeha, i'm so proud of our country! Love these! DO MORE! They make me smile!

[@Syracusenz]

I'm English and living in New Zealand and I can tell you this sends shivers up my spine when I see these Haka performances!! It's just something about it that I can't explain, but I'm proud to be allowed to live in a country that makes me feel this way from just watching a group of local boys put on this kind of show for the public. Keep it up!

[@AndrewDFT]

This why NZ as a country is so damn amazing =)

I am a South African born and raised and I absolutely love the Haka! I think its absolutely brilliant! I would love to have been there to witness this, I would have given the biggest cheers at the end! AWESOME!! (I still support the Springboks though!)

[@chevyvictor]

God bless to all those who performed. well done. Mad as respect from Levin NZ

[@tama826252]

The Haka brings out so much passion in its people- it may look a little scary to outsiders but it's kinda sexy to see all them boys come out and stand up and rep their culture.

[@flo1fication]

I'm from North Hollywood, California and I think the Haka is BADASS. I would travel to NZ just to watch the Haka.

[@Takawhenua]

Well done lads!! Pleased to see our Rangatahi displaying their identity to our guests for the RWC. These boys know who they are and hence why they can Haka like they do. Mauri Ora!

[@justfourblatch]

As a kiwi overseas that brings tears to my eyes. Tino pai x

[@Takawhenua]

Well done lads! Keep it up, I hope there will be more of this. I am proud to see these Men displaying their identity to our guests for the RWC. They know who they are hence why they Haka like they do... Descendants of warriors & chiefs! Mauri Ora!

[@kylepaala8873]

Imagine watching this haka from Albert Park (where a Maori Fort/pa, used to be; protecting a village within) would give you even more chills. Would be a bloody battle at Queen street.
