😂

As a kiwi in the USA, I can tell you hell no, many cannot tell the differences between a native Australian and Māori. Just saying

Never heard of it. But it looks funny 😊

Can you explain the eye movement here? I always saw peoppe do big and almost glaring eyes? Is it a part of the dance? And also, what is that for? To scare off the enemy? I am very curious to know. Much appreciate if you could tell

Love Maori people from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️

​@@jellybeanbear7017its used to show passion or to emphasize a point across during the haka or a dance, growing up tho i also heard it means "im going to eat you" like to intimidate a enemy tribe, threatening to eat them by widening their eyes, idk how true that is but thats what i heard as a kid

Agreed

روح تقود يا شعب عبيد😂

Who is disrespecting whose culture?

@@eeeaten watch the news

@@DeerXSIAiNTKweyLow vague. what news? Who is disrespecting whose culture?

@@eeeaten if you too blind is on you Wake Up See the real world Remember Kindness Always Wins Stay vibing Stay Humble Stay beautiful X

@@DeerXSIAiNTKweyLow soooo you can't articulate a point?

Absolutely. Check out footage from Kapa Haka events for some great examples of how varied they can be. It can be difficult to understand the meaning behind them if you don't speak the language but there are some good explainers out there - especially for the haka performed by the All Blacks and Black Ferns (or men's and women's national rugby teams).

@@AndrewMcColl thanks for mansplaining, I was just noting that what he said was funny. Mauri ora.

@eeeaten 😂 😅

Lift your head high cuzi, hang onto your culture and teach the young ones so it never dies. Your ancestors would be proud. Kia Ora

Is it the one with the bride with flowers in her hair ? I saw it! Yes it's powerful!

They stole that haka and used it without permission and ignored it's meaning. Intellectual property theft is still theft, even if you want to try and couch it as "deserved" theft or something.

In ours its two words which mean "I die"

Stfu with your colonising bs, im moari and european and this was never an issue growing up in nz until woke kunts like u started whinging, theres abundant of oppotunities for people to learn te reo right from kohanga to uni, but nz is prodiminately english speaking and only 4% speak te reo, so trying to erase our language is not true, half the modern te reo words are made up gibberish pandering to the likes of you and the woke mob

What a load of crap!!! You have no idea what you are talking about. Hiere´s an example of the real face of what you claim is "a very proud and strong people": News from the Rotorua Daily Post: "Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life." As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes. And another example: News 24 headline: "Shock over Maori infant brutality" They have been scalded, burned with cigarettes, raped, had bones broken and been beaten unconscious, sometimes to death. Horrific cases of Maori youngsters - some under two years of age - being tortured, abused and KILLED BY MEMBERS OF THEIR OWN FAMILIES Among the grisly headlines that have dominated the nation's media over recent weeks are stories of a 28-month-old Maori girl in a coma after suffering severe head injuries, a broken arm, cuts, bruises and cigarette burns over most of her body. The toddler's 52-year-old grandmother was being held in prison on assault charges. Police in the central North Island town of Carterton are investigating the death a week ago of 23-month-old Maori girl Hinewaoriki Karaitiana-Matiaha who was sexually abused, scalded with hot liquid and beaten before being taken to hospital by relatives. The child, who was put in the care of her grandmother by the Child, Youth and Family Service after consultations with the toddler's family just short of her second birthday, was dead on arrival at Masterton Hospital late on Sunday, July 23. And last week, a coroner in the east coast town of Tauranga found that two-month-old Marcus Te Hira Grey died from a brain haemorrhage following a severe beating by his father. These cases follow the recent release of a report into the gruesome killing last April of four-year-old James Whakaruru, beaten to death by his stepfather for failing to call him Dad. The stepfather had been jailed once for assaulting the boy, but the youngster endured a lifetime of horrific beatings, despite being under the eye of various child welfare agencies, and his hellish existence went unnoticed. The proportion of extreme cases of brutality towards children among the Maori population - which makes up about 15 percent of New Zealand's 3.8 million citizens - is far higher than for any other ethnic group.

To quote another KZfaq comment: What a total crock of shit. NO ONE is saying Maori can't speak, teach and celebrate their language as much as they like. What the new government has done is refuse to pay out millions upon millions of dollars to "Maori language experts" to teach every public sector worker and school child in the country. It was set to be yet another massive transferal of public money, ostensibly to "fight racism" (bullshit) but in reality, just another huge bribe to Iwi and guaranteed "work" for their mates and family members. All to teach a language that most Maori don't care learn themselves. The reason this lot are so pissed off is that usually when they're told "No" they march up and down, stomp their feet, stick out their tongues and generally act like a bunch of yobs. Our pathetic excuse for a media pretend that the rabble rousers represent the vast bulk of Maori people which is an utter lie and eventually, the activists get their way in the form of a pay off. Well, not this time. This country is in severe financial and economic peril after six years of suicidal mismanagement. The government have the huge and thankless task of just trying to get the books into some semblance of order without throwing away tens, even hundreds of millions of dollars to appease "activists". They're not angry that they're being treated differently from everyone else. They're furious that they're being treated the SAME. I repeat: ANYONE can speak, write, learn and/or teach the Maori language if they want to do so. They can even contract a fee with someone who wants to learn if they want. What they can't do is just expect a pay cheque from the tax payer for doing so.

Try Australia Not enough jobs in New Zealand

maori did not invade chatham island we are the same descendant no we did not enslave or slaughter or cannibalism 1835 maori of Aotearoa we were invade by the british empire by force by 1840 the treaty of waitangi te tiriti o waitangi was signed please get your kaupapa right

@@user-ng1we9gx5g dilusional and always blaming Pakeha for everything🙄

It's not intended to intimidate.. it represents acknowledgement of the challenges ahead and overcoming those challenges. This dance can be represented in a number of environments.. weddings, functions, sports games and funerals.. so no. Not used to intimidate.. it's just deep and powerful.

They had different versions for women which evolved into it's own thing. There's different haka for different occasions, like with sports it's usually a challenge, in marriage it's a welcome, then you have ones for when people die, when something is opening or needs a statement made about it.

Women (Wahine) often fought in battles...they were fighting for their very existence! The Poi (balls on the end of a string) were originally training for the Mere (hand held club) and traditional stick throwing game (thrown between groups seated together) for co-ordination/agility reaction purposes was all used to prepare for battle. The Tane (men) fronted the battle but Wahine (women) and older Tamariki (children) also joined in support, taking opportunities while opposition were distracted fighting their Tane... to strike a fatal blow!

Neither. It's about a women who saves a man's life. Ka Mate (the name of this particular haka) was used before rugby games for decades.

And sometimes it's good to move on from and forget about your ancestors ugly colonialism.

It's not always scary different hakas for different occasions. It used to be scary to scare the enemy

@@Amy-kj8nd i think so but this is the main one I've seen them doing even on weddings it's intense specially the tongue stuff it's hard to imagine someone feeling emotional while moving their tongue out , but they actually are emotional about most of the time

@@user-kp5uv9ys5i So you're intolerant of other people's cultures and attempt to belittle them to make youself feel better? A bit weird, but you do you.

You said it man! Because everyone including Palestinians,Yemens or whoever has a basic human fundemental right to exist as a people a nation!

It's a New Zealand Accent. The Māori people are native to New Zealand

Idiot

😤

Aussies say sex, we say six lol 😅

@@glazedshades4692 Of course it could've been a Australian accent, so many Maori live in Australia.

No, it's not. Ka Mate is about a woman who hid a man so his life was saved when he was being hunted. It's on google.

Is it possible you're just being a bit bigoted? Couldn't google 4 letters?

South Pacific... it's their traditional costume

They were never conquered dear, thats why they have a treaty

@@Johanna-iu6ly I think the New Zealand Wars of the 1860s would disagree. Maori had their land confiscated whether they signed the Treaty or not. The Treaty happened before any war even started.

Maori used trench warfare successfully against Britain and stopped their bullets with textiles defied all the odds and should govern their own. They weren’t beaten in warfare but beaten none the less for instance more Maori died from pakeha disease than in war. British broke 100% of every cease fire etc etc even watched us at night like stalkers. Whatever it takes right? We were warriors with code British were soldiers with no code. Should I even keep it going about the diseases of Europe and how it killed practically 20million Americans lol damn who the savages really kiln and conquering etc etc bores already.

@@kennethmacalpin7655 and the only reason the British won was because of help from the tribes who thought they could be trusted to keep to their word. They WERE outnumbered 40 to 1 after all. If you're going to speak on other people's history, at the very least learn it first. For instance, maori are the entire reason trench warfare exists.

@@tanepukenga1421 I'm from New Zealand, so I don't know what you mean by "other people's history", unless you mean because I'm Pakeha and not Maori. I did 19th Century New Zealand history in high school. You initially said "they weren't conquered", now you're back-tracking to "okay they were conquered but by deception". Conquest by deception is still conquest.

Seems to have several uses, but I haven't seen it used as trash talk.

Bit like you then😆

Not At All Like Me! I Follow JESUS!

@@robertlaabs5066 Aaaaand your point is??? So-called 'christians' are some of the most judgmental , hypocritical people on God's green earth. You wouldn't know what a true christian, a footstep follower of Christ was, if one jumped up and bit you on the arse. If you don't have anything kind to say about another culture, say nothing at all. Toodle Pip Robert. Arohanui from Aotearoa New Zealand.

It is not to any God, many Maori christians but to their anscestors and their lineage.

@@robertlaabs5066 Yet act completely unchristian, insulting others for having a different culture. What a "man of god", treating everyone as unneighbourly as possible.
