Honestly as a Māori Wahine ( female ), the best Haka are the ones that come from the heart, the ones done with so much mana and pride. The most thrilling ones that I’ve experienced are either from ‘Kapa Haka’ performances ( recommend people to watch clips of these, get a more solid look into our Māori culture ) and special family occasions. The most beautiful one for me was the one I received by my family from back home in New Zealand on camera for my 21st birthday over here in Australia. Every Haka tells a story, I know it may come off as weird to others but this is apart of my culture and identity. I take pride in it, honour it and down right love it.

maybe in the NBA is not that of a contact sport, but if you play basketball in Europe, especially on the Balcan area and Turkey, you know that you have to be prepared for lots of contact during the game. We have very tough defence, and we don't care about the show that much but for the win.

and you do? Go squat and shit on the haka it means nothing now!

[@grace-zb5zx]

Shadow Man Whoa. That’s someone’s culture. They’re origin. What makes them who they are and how they connect to the world. Be respectful.

[@p3rs0n42]

Shadow Man is probably American. Very unlikely he knows what the word "culture" means, but because it's different to his own and doesn't involve building a wall to hide from it, he is scared of it.

[@salvequick]

Haka lends it so well to sport. Itäs an amazing peptalk and warm up in one.

[@dictatorshipoverdemocracy]

The ice hockey acoustics though! Sounds like there's a whole army!

[@AWANTE2]

What a great tradition what you have. It's admirable how you perform your hakas in any sport. I used to think that it was a think only from rugby. I admire you, players from New Zealand. Greetings from Mexico.

[@joshuaeason3426]

Aquiles Bael Moreno the plural of haka is haka. You aren't supposed to add an s to the end. Just thought you should know

[@nicolasgoldring7128]

Of all the traditional arts that humanity has ever created for thousands of years of anthropological evolution and development, the Haka is one of the most imposing, formidable, and effective creation to have ever been made. The ability to express one's strength and ferocity in such a terrifyingly beautiful way against one's adversaries is phenomenal. To think that this art is still preserved and lives on to the 21st century is amazing. I hope that it can be passed down for generations to come.

All schools have kapa haka. We have language nests too. Maori culture is our national treasure, we have to look after it.

Just to give context, the first one was against the French. The French lost.

[@Pam-rp3lu]

I remember this game. I was at work and everyone came in just to watch it on telly lol The game was being played like 3 blocks away from my job and you could literally hear the crowd roaring and horns blasting down the st. Obviously the game on TV is delayed so it was pointless watching the rest haha Twas a good night

[@toffy7000]

Sky prime ab would’ve smoked them anyways

[@PierrotHG]

The French got robbed by the referee because the world cup was in NZ. And the French ousted NZ two times in the WC (1999, 2007) so there's nothing to brag about.

That is always awesome to watch the whole team perform the Haka. 💜💜New Zealand💜💜
