He is New Zealand Maori. You should watch his doco. Amazing young man.

[@rainneygirl]

As a proud Māori and wearer of Mjolnir, I love this reaction!! I listened to the Grimfrost podcast with Einar Selvik and he spoke about time he spent in New Zealand and how his time amongst the Māori people influenced him on his journey towards the birth of Wardruna. So proud!!

[@Niakiwa]

Stan Walker, Maori, Aotearoa, NZ. Thank you for viewing this he means alit to us here DownUnder, he portrays our Maori Culture in a most powerful way. He singing in Te Reo Maori.

He is a great warrior. He lost his stomach thru the cancer and had to learn to sing again with a different diaphragm dynamic. He made a documentary about it. Thank you for your reaction. ❤

Remember when Beyonce said it was one of the best voices she'd heard in a long time. I interviewed Stan a few times when I worked at FLAVA in NZ. He was such a humble and genuine person. I'm so glad he's doing well. He represents us well.

Beautiful reaction, vikings and Polynesian were similar seafaring peoples. Māori are deeply and intrinsically connected to the land, it is the source of our vitality!

[@TheAnnestube]

WOW WOW WOW WOW POWERFUL

[@katrogue9239]

Loved your reaction ❤ Music is a language we all understand and connect to. You are correct, Stan is a New Zealand Māori. His Tamoko (Tattoos) are real and all of these places in the video are where his tribal connections are, except one place his wife comes from. “I AM” is his response to Ava DuVernay’s film 'Origin'. It is about the reclamation, reconciliation and reconnection to our identity, our language and the origins of who we are and where we come from. By knowing who we are, we are then able to know where we are going. This is how we unlock our greatest power. I AM is taking back the power and giving it back to the people.

[@teriuntalan1027]

And Origin is the story of the author of the book Caste which tracks caste systems globally to present day and shows it's repercussions as systemic racism in society. Yes, layers upon layers in the origin of this song. As a pacific islander, his representation has been huge to us as a community. I recently saw Stan in Hawaii in concert and it was epic and joyful and amazing. ....(I'm also part Swedish, so sending Viking love as well!)

[@katrogue9239]

@@teriuntalan1027 was really deep, I finally got to watch the movie ❤

[@Aotearoa0]

You're so correct with your interpretation of the (waiata) song and correct with the Stan's native language, Maori. Great 😃👍 reaction thank you for your intuitive sense and feel for the Maori culture. At times I feel our waiata when sung the way Stan sings is very similar sounding to the Indian American song.

[@user-lx4jk4ug3b]

my man you were on the money stan walker is indeed a NewZealand maori so you hit the nail on the head stan is a epic advocate for the maori culture from what i under stand of him he eats breaths and lives his culture and as a 57yr old maori from nz i can only say he does the culture proud and is great to see a young man keeping our culture alive my take is that the words in the song (from a dying breed ) refers not only to the struggle in our culture but for every cultures struggle from all walks of life all around the world through his own personal struggle to rise above it all and still think of other peoples issues as well as his own shows just how big this young mans heart and courage is what a LEGEND it is something all kiwis should be so proud of kia kaha stan

[@skylagaaia6615]

The essence of the song speaks to each person differdntly, but the song challenges each listener to find and connect back with your ancestors. To know who you are by knowing wherr you are from. Know your ancestors and respect their struggles to bring you to the awesome man you are today.. In the pacific our history and knowledge of our ancedtors and respect for our Origin is held close to our hearts, for we believe without our knowledge love and respect for our heritage/orgin , we will not have the strong foundation to launch us into our future. Know you heritage, your ancestors and tbeir sacrifices to bring you to the amazing man you are today... Keep up the great reactions..❤👍🏽

Nice reaction

[@theresataylor688]

Stan Walker won Australia's got talent show. Shortly after his win, he was diagnosed with stomach cancer. The same gene that has taken a lot of his family. He had his stomach removed and began a new journey. He had to learn to sing differently, which he has successfully. He is Maori, speaks the language fluently. He has learned so much about his culture and the dynamics behind it. He wanted to sing using the Maori language, so when others tried to persuade him differently, he himself became an independent artist so he could perform everything the way he wanted. It was either going to make or break him, so as it turned out, the decision was spot on. Ava Duvernay looked him up, but had to go through someone who knew exactly how to find him. Ava was so inspired by his vocals, she absolutely had to have Stan see the movie "Origins" and then have him write the theme song. The theme song is " i Am."

[@mareenorth8790]

He didn’t win Australia’s Got Talent … it was Australian Idol …. I know because I worked on it. He was amazing … incredibly humble and an amazing talent. Google his performances on the show … he was incredibly special. I’m so happy to see this video and your reaction because I can see he has found his true self

Welcome to the Stan Walker rabbit hole ❤ Stan was asked to write a song for the movie Origin and he said the movie changed him and inspired him to write the song, record it, and make the music clip in 2 weeks with 2 of his friends. Please watch the movie if you can. It changed me to ❤

7:04 mad respect to you for taking time to dive into the message because it's deriving from a culture so close to my own which is the moari culture, new Zealand. It's so much more than vocals and style because the culture is embedded with a fierce familial love that goes beyond the grave. There's more to life and it doesn't here and they're always with with you in your walk of life fiercely protecting you. And I love that you're picking up on other parts of the message on how it's connecting with the holocaust and how that message of love ties in to a very real event to remind us we're more than this❤❤
