I wish we would host a group from Hawaii at our nationals that be awesome

Mean az performance. As a Maori who lives on the Big Island of Hawaii this brought much pride in my culture. They look as though they are having heaps fun up there on Te Papa tuwaewae which is what matters most. The Audience loved them. Awesome Job Te Waka Huia. Keep repping on kuzzies. Don't pay no attention to the other crabs in the bucket trying to pull you guys back in the bucket. You guys don't have anything to prove to these wannabe Matatini Judges online here. Haere tonu Waka Huia!

i come here on the daily just to re-watch this, i wish their was an HD version of this i could watch on KZfaq.

It was a real honor to share the stage and evening with you! I loved the collaboration of all the polynesian cultures! Maybe we will have the chance to perform again sometime in NZ. Congrats on the wonderful performance! Halau Ilima O Pololika

I love this group so happy to hear and see Annette Wehi sing. They came to China in 2007 to open my company along with my whanau and former Prime Minister Jenny Shipley. Love their music made me cry good memories of them love their songs they compose. They are so supportive of Maori businesses their dance and songs they performed here they did for me in China, and when they all left my heart died a thousand times, its been over 7 years now. Arohanui and kia kaha my loved ones. Thank you for sharing.

Mahalo for sharing! I watch this over and over rather than television, lol. I LOVE IT!!! Chicken skin from beginning to end.

MEAN!!! Maoris are always welcome to Hawai'i \m/ Ran into a few Maori workers at the Heathrow airport in England & right away they asked me if I was Polynesian & I said yeah Hawaiian/Tahitian. Then they put their fist up & said "Ehhh my Polynesian brudah!". I live in Scandinavia's Denmark, so I was so happy to see Polynesian people. No matter our differences in Polynesia we will always have a Spiritual connection.

thank you for making our culture shine love being a Maori with Te many talents you showed the world,😍

All of Polynesia are ONE. We all share the same ancestry. Though exactly WHERE these ancestors are from is possibly lost to history BUT their mana is strong between us whether we like it or not. There are theories that we may all be from the Haida tribe of the Inuit in ‘Alaska’. Others believe we may be from ancient Mayan cultures or others in South America. Like I said... the similarities among our people in different parts of the Pacific Ocean is undeniably linked so we are all brothers and sisters with only an ocean between us.

They were just fantastic to watch! I was on the ground floor that night and they brought the house down. Met one of the performers in the lua and she was so nice and lovely. It was such an honour to watch them. Glad this is here to help keep the moment even more alive in my memory and heart.

Omg... That was an amazing performance! Sent chills up my spine, and my body feels energized and invigorated. Thank you for uploading this. I am going to watch it again some time.

great performance....felt the chills all over one of the best performances on opening night so far hope they come back

Ka pai whanau ka nui te mihi kia koutou . Kanaka maoli hi kanaka maoli ha.

Which is the name of the group ? The manager ? e-mail of the group ?

Easily see the Te Matarae influence with their own sort of spin on it. Cool though!

Tau ke Te Waka Huia. Ka mau te wehi. Ka pai

😍😍😍😍😍😍

made me surprised

Man haka was meaaaan. Ketepai

ngwww someone drop their patu .

The quality of this video makes them look like they have bunny ears on.

Waka Huia......kua tiini ke te roopu nei. Rereke te ahuatanga. Untidy, not insinc, especially at a world stage level of the Hawaiian standard equivalent to Matatini. E hia te roa kua tautoko au i a koutou. Many years since a child have I followed and have watched. Nan has gone and so does part of what she instilled in the roopu is gradually changing. The sound is different, its not the same. Originality is somewhat. E te koka, e te tuakana, e te whaea ko koe ra e Vicky, hoki mai. Kei hea koe?

Why is New Zealand 🇳🇿 is in there? This is a Hawaiian show. Not a Maori new zealand show
