Hawaii football haka

University of Hawaii football celebrates with a haka following 13-0 victory over San Jose State on Nov. 15, 2014

I always like hearing the origin stories of the Haka. I'm a bit of a history nerd btw. 🤓🤓🤓

[@makoapiena5738]

This is a haka for specific use! I bet they don't even know the meaning of this haka. The haka is not a part of Hawaiian culture, I know because I am Hawaiian. Do the Ha'a, something actually from our culture! Leave this to our other Polynesian brothers.

Theyre having fun arent they

[@xHopshotx]

@@memeprez1281 That's not the point of Haka it is to connect with your ancestors for strength

[@kauthara9307]

@@xHopshotx Then y don't Hawaiians do the Siva Tau, Sipi Tau, Takalo, u hawaiians have probably never even heard of them

[@rocket5557]

They’re all Samoans and Tongans anyway so it doesn’t really matter.

[@makoapiena5738]

@@kauthara9307 yeah, I feel it's because haka is just more mainstream, and most people have never heard siva tau, and sipi tau,

Check out my school "Te Aute Tika Tonu 2009" on KZbin. You were one of the best I've seen from US perform this haka. Feed back don't chahoo in a Haka there's no place for it, it is a Maori dance not a Islander dance. Otherwise you have been the best compared to the rest.

[@oliviasmith931]

omg guys this is the ha'a. the Hawaiian team stopped doing the haka in 2007. this is Hawaiian

[@captainpeyton6378]

In a way I understand but this is Maori language there using and this is a haka

[@nate8622]

🤣🤦‍♂️this is tika tonu, a maori haka.

[@missmaniapoto18]

May I suggest you try the Ha'a instead? It is specifically Hawaiian. It would benefit all of those involved to know their own wardance and spread the culture of Hawaii. Uplift your language and culture and be proud. I see some other teams have already started doing the ha'a. I look forward to Hawaiians embracing their culture and proudly displaying it to us all.

[@grimfryggdrasil6098]

Most of these kids aren’t even Hawaiian. Just because it says university of hawaii doesn’t mean everyone is Hawaiian and is culturally tied to the culture. I agree tho, should’ve been doing ha’a instead

[@rocket5557]

Then it would be a bunch of Samoans and Tongans doing the Ha’a. Don’t get offended, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. At least they’re Polynesian.

[@deankumeroa4324]

Can you do the haka to the plays on the other side and not the people you are taking on the players not the poeple so face the players next time

[@percussionplus11]

Why does this sound like a NZ haka ? Surely the Hawaiian football team would have more pride if they did something in their own language with their own actions depicting it from their own past culture.

[@kauthara9307]

@@RenzaissanceTV Mate, u hawaiians have no mana doing the haka unlike us Kiwis. Look at the All blacks, pay attention to Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi, Ardie Savea, TJ Perenara, Rieko Ioane when they perform Ka mate and Kapa O pango, make hawaiians look like a bunch of kids.

[@grimfryggdrasil6098]

Talofa for life Most of the people on this football team aren’t even Hawaiian. Smh y’all get triggered so easily trynna put Hawaiians down when it’s really the Pakeha behind all this shit

[@prettythang3038]

@@RenzaissanceTV ur Not Hawwian i can tell cause the Hawwian war chant isn't called Haka and if you had pride in ur country or culture you would know that. Haka is a Maóri word and it belongs to NZ. Every pacifc islands has their OWN NAME for thier war chant. Haka is New Zealands war chant🇳🇿. Tonga war chant is Sipi Tau🇹🇴. Samoa is Siva Tau🇼🇸. D!ckriding much ?

[@RenzaissanceTV]

@@kauthara9307 bruh stfu, Hawaii "kids" do the haka better than NZ grown men, the all blacks have maybe 1 or 2 guys with mana, and the rest are a bunch of white guys just beating there chest lmfao, at least in Hawaii teams actually have all poly people doing the haka, bruh NZ hakas always have white people in them, Hawaii always performed the haka better than y'all small "kiwis" new Zealand people, most of the hakas performed in Hawaii are from HS, and they make some NZ rugby teams look like Kids lmfao

[@kauthara9307]

@@RenzaissanceTV Well, u Hawaiians don't even do the haka properly, cheehooo is a Samoan thing, yet Hawaiians do it in a haka. U guys might as well do the Siva Tau. U guys might call urself Polys, but at the end of the day, u guys r fuckin american.

Stop stealing others people culture. Thanks

[@prettythang3038]

This isn't a Haka, haka is a NZ war chant every island has a name for thier own war chant like ,Tongas War chant is Sipi Tau. Samoa is Siva Tau. Idk what the Hawwian war chant is but i know its not a haka.

Why is there a lot of kiwis mad? I am German I am 13 years of age and I play for a rugby team and we also do the haka everytime before a game

[@jamescatton210]

Bebo Vlogs If your German and your doing the Haka because it looks cool before your games that’s disrespectful. Really disrespectful. That’s why we are mad, your tarnishing a culture.

[@Rex-pp4iw]

yung rxtho no no it’s not like that in our rugby team we have a lot of New Zealand members im the team even our coach is from New Zealand he wants us to learn the culture about and perform it before every game

[@Rex-pp4iw]

And I am one of the few people who are not from New Zealand

[@rna8arnold]

If your team is in New Zealand that's OK, but in Germany find something that relates to your own German culture - ie the Barritus
