Probably referring to the kids

Tru fuckn dat!

They got their ass kicked all history long

@@horrorwhore7946 No victory against the Maori was clean or decisive. To the point where eventually the Europeans gave up and abandoned their claims due to it not being worth the effort

Exactly. Yet even a Maori like me is chosen NOT TO by my grandfather who is a Maori.

Yep

Please don't call it a dance. It's not a dance. It means war and that's why, places like New Zealand, Hawaii and across the Pacific are strong. We fought hard for our land, and we aren't giving it up to people. Basically what you see, is the reason why colonialism didn't have much of an influence on these countries. When he breaks the trident, it means that's what they are gonna do to you, if you cross the line. This is the Kiwi version and traditionally performed by men only.

I'm confused, I thought Hawaii is owned by united states?

Is amazingly beautiful last time that i saw it was yesterday All black vs Argentina, amazing 😍

I feel like if you don't enjoy haka or other indigenous dances you just don't have a soul. Haka itself gives you second hand Maori pride.

Wow great you're indigenous American. I found very few of you all. By the way why don't you preserve your language, culture, tradition just like these ? F#ck the white racist Britishers colonialists.

It brought many tears to the eyes of the Moriori women and children who were subsequently tortured to death. Its war fetishisation, even if it looks cool and cultural etc.

@@user-pk8po6rb4x literally the entire world does war fetishism. You're not cool or edgy for being contrarian. Let people have the things they enjoy and go cope in the corner. Your opinion will be respected when you actually have a name instead of "user" and a bunch of numbers.

Hi from aotearoa new Zealand awesome story my bro the Polynesians in the USA a so far away from there home islands I think for them to see a haka over there it would have taken them back home that makes me proud to be Maori. It doesn't matter if ur Maori or polynesian we all whanau(family) from the south Pacific

It's because Polynesians are simply better

The first time I saw the Haka I was mesmerized. I can’t imagine what it’s like to see it in person!

I'm American and I have several Maori friends, I think their culture is stunningly beautiful and interesting. Big respect from me.

!!!!

Concerns were expressed that the authorship and significance of this haka to the Ngāti Toa were being lost and that it had "become the most performed, the most maligned, the most abused of all haka" (Kāretu 1993b, p. 68 ) and was now "the most globally recognized form of cultural appropriation" (Hokowhitu, Brendan (2014). Graham, Laura (ed.). "Haka: Colonized Physicality, Body-Logic, and Embodied Sovereignty". Performing Indigeneity: Global Histories and Contemporary Experiences. Lincoln, NE: University of Nebraska Press. doi:10.2307/j.ctt1d9nmw6.)

yeah. I don't get why were they laughing. The first time I watch haka dance, I felt really amazed.

Knowing me as an Australian I know this already because my stepmom dad was born there before he died a few years ago

and they accomplish what? beside fatigue and leg cramp

Yeah think back when and imagine going to war and seeing thousands of people preforming this that would be horrifying not funny or cute and its supposed to be scary for the opponents

Cute idea to perform at the premiere! Fierce Haka! The ancestors AND the still unborn heard That one!

@@SpaceAnomaly09 exactly. It’s still intimidating. In Australia and in rugby it is intimidating still. The opponents to the all blacks are intimidated but don’t let that get by them.

I think the "cute" comment was about the young boy in the group. "He is so cute". Either way he should also be respected.

I think those people were specifically referring to the children. Small people inherently make things cute even when they aren't intended to be.

Watching the video, I laughed out of surprise of how cool it was. It's a startled laugh, but I feel great respect. I know it's history based and I get goosebumps when I see the haka done.

They are just ignorant Americans bro, its how they are from a South-African brother

@Ella Pastoor Yup as a fellow Polynesian I agree 100%. I do not understand why people would laugh at something extremely cultural and traditional, especially since a lot of Polynesian culture is being drowned out and it is no where near as strong and rich as it used to.

@@sian186 What do you mean?

@@sian186 he's an american citizen, but he also has native american and polynesian heritage. he's keeping in touch with his roots and obviously knows about his culture and where he comes from. i was talking about people in the comments who were saying the dance was cute, that may be how they perceive it, but the dance is a war chant meant to scare the opposing side. its very likely that the people that aren't aware of this are americans, whereas those who the culture actually originates from know of its meaning. it was a lighthearted poke at americans, never once did i say that they were ignorant and have no culture; you were the one that assumed that, not me. kindly fuck off with your victim complex. kiss kiss x

@@sian186 holy shit, its almost as if most white americans aren't aware of said cultures. gn

@@sian186 i know about white european culture, i’m well versed in it as i am actually in fact a practising wiccan. it was a joke about the stereotypical image of a middle class white american who isn’t aware of cultures and interprets it in the incorrect way. it was an innocent joke and you made it out as i hate americans and that i’m a hateful person in general, so far you’ve made assumptions about almost all of my opinions, there was nothing malicious or hateful in my original comment, it was something meant for people to have a chuckle at, not me saying that white americans and white people don’t have culture. also, it was based off of comments that were on this video, not the way i feel about white americans. i myself am a white australian and it makes my blood boil that you would assume i’m a hateful person, yes i assumed that the people commenting that it was cute were white, because that is likely. it was only ever meant to be a lighthearted jab at the stereotype of a white american. i am not hateful, end of story.

@@leeanneryda6051 so true smh

They laugh because they are frightened and do not know how to handle such a demonstration of power and willingness to go to war. I am far from the cowardly type but the Maori folks I would never mess with

C Nit on my perspective laughing is just unacceptable frightened or not as a Maori teenager when preforming the haka to the audience & they’re out there laughing is just a sign of disrespect in their eyes it may seem different and that it’s okay to laugh but in our eyes it’s like they’re basically saying it’s “cringe” & stupid.

@@leeanneryda6051 Half of them are in business suits. The whole thing is kind of silly. I think people were laughing because it is cute. It's not to be taken seriously. These are not real warriors.

go to new zealand theres a lot of more advanced groups that practice it like it’s a sport it’s really cool and way louder not to mention there’s a more balanced ratio between men and women

All polynesian cultures have ties from Hawaii all through the south Pacific Ocean our peoples were navigators of the seas so in ever way polynesians are a vast race made up of many poly and Pacific cultures

Depending on what the Haka is performed for can make the experience differ greatly. (A much loved NZ rugby player) Jonah Lomu's funeral Haka was the most heartbreaking I have ever seen.

when i graduated highschool the kapa haka group performed a haka to send off the leaders that were graduating and just watching it i nearly cried. everyone stood and watched and their conversations just stopped. it was very emotional

@@MrAnderson5157 lmao you are most certainly wrong, btw im maori, ngati kahungunu and tuhoe, the haka is a maori tradition, yes we are apart of the polynesian branch but the haka was created by us no one else, you seem to not understand that the people of polynesia have developed there own identities, these were laws that were created a long long time ago. all polynesians migraged to different islands and crafted there own culture, there own people, Hawaiians are not Maori that is so dumb. No other polynesian has rights to maori culture because there polynesian, our culture is distinct as much as it is similar. Us maoris respect our islander cousins thats why you rarely find us wearing lavalavas and tryna embed ourselves within the culture. if you ask any poly samoan, tongan, etc and ask them where does the haka come from they will tell you, the indigenous of Aotearoa and no one else. not only that us Maoris do not know who the Hawaiians are at all, to us yous are just some American's across the seas, you will not find a Hawaiian in new Zealand, out of all the islanders that come to nz Hawaiians are not one of em, yous are just strange cousins we dont know about, so when we see Hawaiians claiming our culture it offends us.
