Sydney's Mass Haka Mob 11th September 2011

[@mongobaracuda]

Their national pride is just stunning. Would love to be part of that culture.

[@ItingaNicholas]

I'm definitely proud to be of this culture

[@larryortega8382]

You have to be proud of Your own culture. That's What they do. For example i am colombian and i'm proud.

Thank you for performing such a haka on the 10th anniversary of 911. It's humbling to see the world show such signs of unity. Much respect to you from the United States!

[@RCoffey45]

Im a Welshman and I absolutely love The Haka, i could never get sick of watching it. To see the intensity is amazing!!

[@michaelwalkerthevintagevoc2855]

Speechless. Amazing!!!🙏💯♥️

[@ljkennedy1]

I am very disappointed in the actions of some people's comments on here, it show's a great lack of respect for what people believe in and where they are from whether it be by birth or by heritage, if you do not like the video or the comments other small minded little piece's of crap have made then don't respond and leave my page. I don't come and deface your video's and crush something that you are proud of so don't do it to mine.

[@SolomonSide3]

Im an uncultured swine but the Haka hits deep, most of them almost make me cry.

[@LaraGlvs]

It gets me everytime... Even tho I don't understand what they're saying I can feel the power throughout my body.

[@Dankehum]

We can shoot our guns into the air

[@mho...]

yeah sadly your ancestors wiped pretty much any native culture off your continent!

[@ReignCharger]

No they fuckin didn't. We are still here

[@matthewsmith4647]

ReignCharger lol they love throwing that shit out to trigger white guilt. They fail to realize that almost everyone in the states more than 3 generations have some native blood in them.

[@woodyblu3636]

its good to embrace indigenous cultures like nz did. i wish australia and america did too

[@ksmith935]

100% agree

[@razkennedy7546]

That will never happen, they are in a culture of of their own, you know what I mean.

[@phapnui]

Some American indigenous tribes do embrace Haka, it will take awhile for rest of us to catch up.

[@teawaroawilson741]

Raz Kennedy you mean you are in a culture of your own😂😂😂😂

[@LeeJeannotte]

if you think Americans don't embrace its Indigenous peoples then you are the ones propagating the hate, I am an American Indian and All that know me respect my culture, and respect me as a person, only those that say that Americans don't respect other races or peoples see the racial hatred in their eyes because of the racial hatred they see in them selves........you wanna stop racism, stop flippin talking about it! Period!

[@ljkennedy1]

Thank you for your comments, i really appreciate them. Though i was born here in Australia i am still very proud of my heritage like most people are regardless of their nationality. I was very grateful to be able to witness such an amazing show of pride and patriotism from the Maori people.

[@mongrelmobsterdoggsold13r12]

I lived in Brooklyn at the time of the World Trade Center bombing, I had friends that I previously worked with there. I never knew or really understood global prayer until now. I am sharing this on facebook to let others see that we are not alone we have each other. Thank You.

I hope one day to return back to scandinavia, NZ is great and all but the Maori's can be an ignorant bunch until you remind them who's toughest.

sydney haka? since when u ok with oceanic? i like it tho

How come that video was uploaded on the 10th of september when the performance was on the 11th of september.. that does not make sense

International date line. It was already the 11th in Sydney, but where the sever is located at, it was still the 10th.

Tino pai!! When I see our brothers and sisters performing the haka, I know the blood running thru they're veins is Maori, our pride and mana stands out loud and clear. Kia kaha, he tangata, arohamai.

[@blazekimura]

Pretty sure there will be someone who would teach you. Some would be offended but it isnt their choice...I knew a young scottish boy who spoke fluent Maori purely because he loved our culture. Some were offended but many were heartfelt as this young man put his heart and soul into a race not of his own, knew more about it than many Maori alive today.

[@Herculeon]

MEAN MAORI MEAN! This was AWESOME!! Who cares what it was a publicity stunt or a tribute it was AWESOME!!! Get over yourselves if you didn't like it..... Don't watch the bloody thing! I posted it on my Facebook for everyone to get some good vibes from!!

[@jungletheme2094]

I love how the Aboriginal Australian welcomed the display.

[@ozzihaka]

Much thanks should go to the local Aboriginals for giving us the blessing and allowing us to perform the haka on their land. Don't forget this is not our country, it's Aboriginal country . Much respect to them.

[@aditghifari5039]

always preserve your culture friends of maori coz culture are part of you

[@AmaraOmShazadi]

Was there a purpose behind this performance? Can't help but notice the date. I'm not Maori, Australian born Pakeha- but I have a deep love for Maori culture, and no matter how many times I see a Haka performed, I shed tears every time at the fierceness, strength and beauty of the ritual. Seeing it performed on this kind of scale is phenomenal. Thankyou for sharing it with us!

[@missingMBR]

Was the flash mob to respect those who died in 9/11? I don't understand why Kapa o Pango was performed though. It's a haka that was created specifically for the All Blacks. Kapo o Pango literally means team in black. Perform Ka Mate, sure. Doing Kapa o Pango is just a bit odd.

[@XandeRToXic]

What Haka is this? I don't mean to sound ignorant, or disrespectful, but is this a more generic/widely used Haka?

[@highemp]

Great! Respect from Brazil.

[@missownz]

This ain't a flash mob - flash mobs are random and unexpected and they were waiting for an "aborigine" to lead the haka! What is up with that? Still loved the haka afterwards though. @GusE96 ...because the Haka originates from New Zealand not Australia?!

[@solzamcgregor9657]

Who needs a Gun when you have HAKA. HALF OFTHE SOLDIERS WOULD RUN AFTER WATCHING THIS.Love from NEPAL.

[@bebef1862]

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Ano! What ive noticed is tha regardless of wats been say'd, the numba of viewers/subscribers is wat counts the most!!! Ive read hundreds of comments; heaps of positive1s, some negative1s, nd the odd disgusting-filthy1s: Hey! People comment, others respond? This is the beauty of a social hub but, it could also be the demise of a channel? This would depend apon the uploaders reason 4.publicising their vid clip, e.g. 2be recognised or, 2.redicule/hat. 2share a gr8 moment or, 2expose say abuse. Ae!!

[@baroniatipu]

Dammn, im trying 2get off this channel cause my Maori blood wont let me nd my Irish blood needs 2argue with mmyy Irelandor cuzzin!!! Nah! Nemine, cause then i'll be no betta than he or, she by dissing on my own rallies eh! Nah! Best not, for all i know the name Irelandor could be a nom-de-plume nd boom! I'll have the IRA on my doorstep; hell no thanx! Nah! Instead, i'll just keep txtng my mamae/hurting thoughts on this comment page until i run out of space nd just humm the haka tune to myself...

[@baroniatipu]

LjKennedy you done a gr8 job recording this precious 'Tikanga Maori-KapaHaka' flash-mob performance; Sydney Australia. That was an amazingly large crowd of people nd im thinking that they were not all Maori but, were interconnected by some invisable cultural thread that brought them en-mass to this place for a specific purpose? To tell us, their people at home that they are safe, well, happy nd miss us like crazy!! Personally, i just want them 2come hoommee :'( :'( :'( Kia Ora, luv u ljkennedy1

[@tamara229]

Gosh people need to get over themselves. All the maori people ive met have been kind and havent been arrogant at all. Just because they like to celebrate their culture. How is it different from aussies celebrating australia day or singing the national anthem?? it isnt. So get over yourselves people. BTW i am an aussie and think nz's are awesome. They celebrate their culture and its an amazing spectacle to watch :)

[@MrsAntonsen]

Love this and all forms of pride for ones own country... Although as ashamed as I am about the few shit stirring Aussies (and others) disrespecting the Haka, it's sad to see how much hate the Maori people still have against the 'white man'.I know the history and realize alot of shit went down not so long ago to ancestors but don't expect respect from others when you give non. ..... Just saying....

[@OneBalance]

Hmm...dont get me wrong, every time I watch the Haka I get chills. There is a feeling that cuts to the core of some kind of...unity of purpose or unity of will. But I don't think I felt that way for this video or any of the other flash mob hakas because of that lack of purpose. Alls I get is the felling that a buch of people find that it might be fun to yell real loud and slap their foremarms haha! No denying it looks like fun though!!

[@ratpoisoner666]

I don't care if you hate black people, brown people, green people, whatever. It really doesn't matter. Because whoever you are, if you're face to face with a group of large Maoris doing a haka, it's pretty fucking intimidating. Remember, these are people who were forced to change their haka to something less mean-looking because it was scaring the shit out of other rugby teams. Look up the old haka the All Blacks used to do. It's fucking murderous.

They are also responsibe 4checking nd monitoring their PAGE: 2Block or, 2Leave?? Then, there are those Pros who relish nd feed on their viewers nd pedestrians emotion, behaviour, disregard for the law/lore etc

No matter your faith, it's stunted here in America. And your ceremonies are ridiculed as heathen and pagan, and laughed at. I am not Maori, I am proud adopted-Shawnee and -Seneca. America is not the home of the free. It is the home of the oppressed. If you do not look or act or SPEAK like everyone else, you are ridiculed. Period.

[@JChristopher17]

Really? That sucks, I guess, I had no idea they were introducing so many new rules. Maybe one day rugby in the US will happen - I'd definitely be interested in watching a US rugby team in action! I bet without all the armour, plus a bit of practice to get to know the rules and adapt their tactics, an American football team would give a decent game of rugby. :D

[@jaymtee1]

A Flashdance is supposed to be spontaneous, The crowd were lined up waiting for the word go. the old bloke with the grey hair in the bottom right hand corner was video way before the start. There are so many flash dances of the haka on utube performed at evry opportunity. Leave it in NZ Makes the men look ugly anyway

Love that there're still people who appreciate cultures and hate how there're so many ignorant/racist trolls -from Queens

sorry bro,but i have said already to heaps of kiwis and they just laughed at it. because Haka is only a tribute to the culture that no longer exists. Maoris dont live as Maoris anymore. I was married to a Maori lady and i have a Maori son.

[@robertsantos4372]

With new rules that limit football more and more each year it's getting less exciting. If anyone I know heard me talking like this I just might have my Native Texan card pulled lol. In Texas football is everything. Just wish we had rugby.
