@@morningstarghuleh1087 He's saying that despite appearances, he is more Polynesian than his bride who may actually be more of something else, i.e. Hispanic, Italian, Arabic, etc. The groom may look like a "white boy" but is more Polynesian based on his parents, ability to speak the language, and raised in the customs and traditions. I remember when people found out that Catherine Zeta-Jones was not Hispanic, but 100% Welsh and how shocked they were. Also, Dave Matthews is more African than black people in America in spite of his color, because African-Americans have little to no connection at all to Africa other than their DNA, but Matthews was born and raised there, more familiar with laws, customs, etc. Appearance is only part of the picture.

Here in Australia we live right next door to New Zealand, and every time our sports teams play against each other the New Zealander's always do the Haka...and we love it! While it's history goes back essentially to a war dance, it is also a sign of respect from one warrior to another. We have many great battles on the sports field but at the same time our countries are like brothers...we will always be there when the other needs us. Also when the men put their heads together they are actually touching noses, it's a sign of affection and respect much like a hug.

[@paddington1670]

yeah nose touching is called Hongi. The Australian/NZ kinship with included rivalry is exactly like the US and Canada.

There is a really good video on KZbin, of a son returning home, at the airport, and is greeted with a surprise welcome home Haka dance by his family and friends. Many people stop and watch the dance, and the son eventually joins in the Haka. It’s so heartwarming! I’ve watched this video many times!

[@StatsJedi]

This dance is so deep and universal, I think it resonates with all people by its masculine strength and passion. Not much in the world today does this so well. It may be confusing at first, until it is understood as a tribute, and only sometimes as a challenge. Most men seeing this want to do it, myself included.

[@purpleskiesforever]

@dizzy that bridesmaid was rocking the haka. Very impressive.

[@ruthamos2312]

@dizzy Women have their own haka, check it out. I think those men were the bride's brothers but she joined in the haka, too. The women soccer teams do their own hakas.

[@WololoLazarus]

@dizzy it is only traditionally done by men primarily in war - but women were taught to fight and kill as effectively as men, and no one would dare challenge a women's place in a haka or haka powhiri. Just to highlight that point, in te Ao Māori (the Māori world) the first gods lived on a land that was also their mother, the first human was a woman made of wood (side note: small details of myths are bound to vary across iwi/tribes), more aspects of women are typically seen as tapu/sacred than men, the mourning calls for the dead are primarily done by women, the welcoming calls for ANYONE onto a marae is done by a women. Māoritanga/Māori culture places intrinsic mana/spiritual prestige and mauri/essential lifeforce in all things, be it man, women, child, tree, bee, bird, worm, rock, or water - it is all taonga/treasure

[@StockyDude]

I volunteered to help out for an Asian-American/ Pacific Islander event this past Friday. Even though I’m a full-blooded Filipino American, a few weeks ago, I was asked to be one of the Haka performers. It was an honor to do it. I really tapped into my old mixed-martial artist killer instincts.

The wedding HAKA is one of the greatest you tube videos ever , I still cry when I see it, I'm a 63 year old man

[@foxmulder8139]

@Barbie Blues It is in some ways a traditional war dance, but it goes beyond that. My interpretation of the wedding side of it is the group haka is performed to show respect and ceremonially intimidate the groom and question the groom's courage in the face of what I'm guessing is the combination of both sides family members. The groom stands back and shows the group haka respect by observing the haka and "taking the beating" so to speak. The groom, supported by his wife (kinda saying "This man, MY man, is worthy of the tribe"), later join in the haka to stand up to them and prove his courage, integrity and worth to the other family members and later on gets officially accepted into the family/tribe via the head touching.

[@TriXJester]

An enormous sign of respect and pride or the Maori people, and such an honor to watch. are usually performed in a group and typically a display of a tribe's pride, strength and unity.

My favorite thing about the haka is that it’s originally a war dance that celebrates life as well, and was used to pump up the blood of the warriors as well as intimidate the enemy, and assert dominance, but it now has various uses such as a sign of respect to an important person(s) like at a funeral or just as a celebration of life like in this instance. The haka displays how important the warrior culture is/was to the Maori and their strength as a people today

The Hakka is a warrior dance. The marriage is probably for the groom as he is a new warrior in the tribe. What they use to sing in battle was a song to honor there enemy and intimidate them. They sang of welcoming there enemies spears. They thanked there enemies for the battle and hoped they would die with honor if they were to die. They make crazy faces to express all this from across a battle field. It’s really amazing. A very great worrier people. They deserve respect.

[@bremCZ]

Haka is so much more than simply a warrior dance. Haka are used to celebrate all facets of life. To welcome, farewell, challenge, and celebrate. Pigeonholing Haka as warrior dances misses what Haka are all about.

[@alliebea]

It's the groom's family mostly. His brother is the tall one in the middle who looks exactly like him.

[@venusflawn1980]

TL;DR The haka is a celebration of life. Not just a war dance. While the haka can at times be called a “warrior dance” this term is very limiting. It takes away the full meaning and significance of what a haka is. This is usually how an outsider, or someone uninformed defines what a haka is. TE HAKA A TĀNERORE: In maori mythology the haka is a celebration of life. The sun god (Tama-nui-te-rā) had two wives, the summer maiden (Hine-raumati) and the winter maiden (Hine-takurua). The child of the sun god and his summer maiden (Tāne-rore) would dance for his mother. It is a maori belief that, when the summer days are so hot that the air shimmers or quivers, you can see “the haka of Tānerore” being performed for his mother. The trembling hand action you see in haka (like a really fast queens wave on repeat) is called a wiri/wiriwiri. It represents the shimmering air on hot days. So that’s the quick rundown of our haka origin story. HĀ is “the breath of life” we all share. It is represented in the words and noises made during the haka. KĀ being to ignite, and the energy shown through the actions, expressions and the wiri that represents Tānerore. Haka is an expression of a groups thoughts on a topic in a way where actions and facial expressions give deeper meaning to the words being spoken. It is a display of a tribes unity, pride and strength. When two parties meet it is custom to perform a haka. It was used to mentally prepare warriors for battle AND in joining together in peace. It is a celebration performed to honour guests, to show reverence (in this case to the married couple) and to mark major milestones or significant events. Each haka tells a story, not just of war.. but of a tribes history, their ancestors, their beliefs, thoughts and hopes. Sorry if its brief and watered down didn’t want to make it too long.

They were also invoking their ancestors spirit (wairua) to empower them.

Good night! I love this video and its had had my first contact with haka too! But the best one in my opinion is that when students' haka dance honored their teacher in his funebre (?) cerimony in a neozeland school. Thanks for post this video!

I've seen the wedding video several times. It still brings tears to my eyes.

[@debrawilks3728]

The first time I saw the wedding haka I cried! I am from Louisiana USA so tradition is important. But there was so much passion in the haka you felt it. Beautiful ♥️

[@Sarahlds]

I love how they’re loving and enjoying these amazing dances

[@UliFandoms]

They need to watch more equal and powerful women! Love from Germany 🧡

[@TinyVio-Lynn]

I love Hakka so much. I cry and get the chills. They should react to Mexican folklorico dancing with a mariachi.

[@judipodgurski5083]

On that theme, Hula should also be shown. Beautiful too, and hold so SO much meaning. xoxo

[@johankaewberg9512]

React. Always react. This is a powerful woman. Reacting to the Haka at the world championships match.

Beautiful! I just saw the Ode to Joy Flash Mob reaction as well, and I love how music can cross almost any barrier! I'm wondering, if you're looking for suggestions, if it might be interesting to show some of the massive church organs playing in cathedrals. The entire building becomes its own musical instrument!

[@snakesnoteyes]

Everyone feeling the passion of the Haka is a very unifying human experience. Thank you.

[@skywalker1991]

This amazing , can you imagine how this can pump you up during war , I got energized even watching it.

[@MsBebegurl0212]

That wedding Haka is my all time favorite. The raw emotion on the brides face always makes me tear up every time. There is a translation of the words in each video usually. You should translate into their language so they understand what is being said.

[@LauraTeAhoWhite]

Tino Pai (Good stuff)! I see Babu is getting into the spirit of the haka! That's what its all about. Raw emotional expression. Nga Mihi (thanks) from New Zealand!

[@learad3034]

These guys always make my day! Thank you!

[@abdulrahman31350]

As a maori i find their reaction really respectful. Thank you

We might do this dance at lovely weddings and ceremonies now. But chances are that a couple of hundred years back if you saw this "dance" it was probably the last thing you saw before a spear went into your head.

[@dave21002002]

They didn't use spears for fighting - spears are fishing and bird catching tools. The 'war items" were patu ( a club) and taiaha (like a wood sword) which one of those above described as a "stick".

[@skyrat3816]

They were shown brutal hits in rugby. As the All Blacks being the most famous team in the rugby world. Please show them highlights from the All Blacks matches and why they are the favourites.

Thanks for doing my suggestion. :)
