Who else has never met these people but was crying because the love and passion communicated in 3 minutes was astounding???

Every time I see and hear a Haka, You can almost see the thousands of ancestors behind them, bringing HUGE power to this world. Humbled

I remember being deployed to Afghanistan. And one of the guys in my platoon did this and taught us the history and meaning. Very deep. Sadly he was killed during that deployment. Rest in peace sgt sapuro brightly nena

I can't believe, as an African who has no connection with Maori culture, i am deeply moved by this dance and actually teared up a bit. This is really deep and primal and above all human.

A village of men ready to protect this woman and she’s glowing.

What do you find attractive in a men: When he can do a real haka without being embarrassed

As a Native American, filled with the history and traditions of my people, i connect with this in such an organic way. I love seeing these traditions being held on to through the generations- adapting them to modern times/situations/instances. Brothers and sisters from 1000s of miles away- well done. Your ancestors approve, and look on with great admiration.

I cry every single time I watch this video, or any Haka, but especially this one. It's just so beautiful how much it clearly means to these people. Such intense emotions.

the amount of love in that room absolutely cannot be overstated.

Modern clothing - modern haircuts - but the hearts of the tribesmen - it was an honor to watch

The groomsman, the bridesmaids, the couple themselves, even the waitstaff all joining as one collective of PURE, RAW emotion is beautiful and a perfect display of love and devotion.

Made me cry when I saw how moved the bride was. Ancestry and history matter. Its important to keep our heritages and cultures alive. Much respect.

I'm not Maori but seeing such a respect for your culture brings a tear to my eye. I'm Mexican and I'm so proud to wear my tribal colours.

The Bride! So precious and overwhelmed with emotion by her kinsmen tribute!

I've seen this video posted a couple times, including one that explained this particular Haka and included subtitles. It explained that this Haka was written by a chieftain for his son who was leaving home, with the verses broadly stating, "My son, fear not. Though you leave home, know that I have faith in you and that my love goes with you."

The moment she sobs.... Thousands of generations of culture and respect released at that moment. Gets me every time.

well... i never planned on crying today but here we are.

When you don't understand a word but still feeling tears coming up... This is universal love

Born and raised in Sweden. A long, long way from you. I have always searched for the place my spirit really belong. Your tradition make my soul sing. I can feel you and all your ancesters around me, I feel strong and free. Powerful in a good way. Thank you so much for giving me this feeling. Be proud of your traditions and roots. Protect them always. Much love/ Sabina

34yo scottish bloke here, n not cried in years, no idea where that came from, powerful stuff

The Haka always bring such a swell of emotion to me. Im not Maori, but there is something about this that I feel on a soul level. Beautiful. I won't lie I teared up.

Born in NZ so have seen the Haka 100's of times growing up in school etc, but THIS is no ordinary Haka. This is like haka x1000 the level of passion and emotion poured into this even gives me chills.

This bride is so beautiful and when her friends hug her I cry every time. I wish I could tell her she is an inspiration to me.

I don’t understand anything that is going on and I am Mexican but this made me feel so happy and made me cry ❤

Any wedding i attend after this is gonna feel kinda boring.

I hope the groom never ever pisses off the Bride, imagine that group of gentlemen wanting to have a wee word with you about your short comings as a husband.

wow... just f*cking wow.... the Haka is great and powerful, but what i like the most is the fact that here are 2 cultures combining together...and the fact that both sides of the families are accepting each other for sure..!!!!! respect.... and one world one love..!!

Am not from New Zealand am from Nigeria but this brought so much tears to my eyes, I'll really love to know the meaning of what they're saying, am sure the words have so much power that it touches you no matter who you are. Please anyone who can interpret for me I'll be very grateful. Thanks

Imagine accidentally walking into the wrong banquet hall and seeing this...

The translation makes it even more beautiful. What is right is always right, In deed. Be true to yourself my son, my concerns have been raised about you. So pay attention, What is this problem you are carrying? How long have you been carrying it for? Have you got that? Right, let's go on. So son although it may be difficult for you and son, although it seems to be unyielding. No matter how long you reflect on it the answer to the problem is here inside you......indeed.....indeed.....indeed.....yes, indeed! It is great advice from his future father in law to is soon to be son in law.

I´ll never tire of watching this video. The Haka is truly special.

Как приятно видеть что молодые люди так любят и так соблюдают свои традиции! Я посмотрела несколько раз, мне очень понравилось. Счастья и благополучия всем!

You can see the pure raw emotion, especially in the bride. and the bonds of brotherhood of the team for a teammate. absolutely beautiful.

The haka is probably the coolest thing on this planet. Gives me goosebumps everytime I see it, and in any situation. Respect to New Zealand and the Maori culture.

Dude every time I see this it makes me cry you can see the passion and love that they have and it was even better when the groom joined

Translation: if you cheat on our sister, we come a knockin This was awesome!

You can tell how much this dance meant to the bride and groom, very emotional. I'm crying!

Who would be crazy enough to mess with anyone in that room…Powerful people.

I've seen the Haka many times, but THIS performance made me really emotional. I'm crying right there with the bride, but I can only imagine her absolute PRIDE in her culture. I'm sure this meant the world to her.

White Australian watching this alone on Christmas Night. Took all the loneliness out of me and I don’t know why, but I’m grateful.

I am a simple norwegian. If I only had 1 person to do a proper Haka in front of me, I would start crying proper man-tears.

I’ve never seen Haka before and this made me cry. I feel lucky having seen it, bless the Maori people for having such a beautiful and vibrant culture.

This will never ever get old. Chills and tears every single time. I hope the couple is happy and healthy. Something tells me they are both.

I love to see the bride's pride over her culture and tradition, it glows and is clear and strong as the sunlight when they show her joining the Haka at 02:11. Chills guys, all over the place, chills...

I do not know HOW MANYYY times I have watched this. I get emotional every time

Everytime i watch this, I get so emotional and start crying. You can feel the energy of this room and the unconditional love and support they all have. There power is so strong and you can feel the history.

im 51 years old and CRY every single time🙈powerful!!

To see something like this in real life is incredibly moving. My grandmother had a haka preformed at her funeral an it was the most beautiful things I've ever been apart of.

how is this so emotional? I'm a chinese with zero understanding of new zealand culture but this mad me teared.

I don't know how it works but every time I see it I feel so good, I feel the energy rise up inside, and I cry. And I love it. It's like it cleanses my heart. It is so simple. So wild and so beautiful. Wish I could see it in person one day. Потрясающе!

Many years ago I participated in a Haka dance. It was so special and I will never forget the super emotional experience. Priceless emotional display from the bride.

Her after a few dates: "I'd like you to meet my family" Her family:

Years go by and this is still the hypest thing I've ever seen.

The most beautiful people. No one can fault Māori … they touch those of us with a heart and a soul no matter where we were born x

I am a person who rarely if ever has to cry. I'm probably suppressing it, but this ceremony always brings tears to my eyes. It is as energetic as the connection between two people and brings it across so emotionally.... This connection takes courage, brings pain and joy, needs strength but also gives it, brings sadness gives hope. That's why I find this ritual wonderfully genuine and beautiful.

I don't understand why I'm crying. Ive never seen this cultures war dance and I don't know their customs but I feel it with my entire soul. This was amazing!

I hope this is how everyone goes into 2021 and every day of their life.

I'm not Maori, but my family now reside in NZ.. The feeling I get watching this is something I cannot explain ❤

I'm not even close to that continent but, God, I play this video every time I want to shake my feelings. Beautiful! Just beautiful.

I have seen the Haka many times, but never at a wedding. That was amazing and very emotional. I am not Maori or Kiwi, but that touched something deep, primordial, within me. It is a place that we modern humans have forgotten. A place of brotherhood and unity and connection that our world needs so desperately today.

When the bride started crying the love and pride I believe were being expressed there. Love it!

Ok. This is like the 10th time I’ve watched this and l’m bawling again. My daughter is getting married this year and it makes me want to learn the Hakka. Still one of the most beautiful, soulful, spiritual things I’ve ever witnessed.

The passion on the brides face as she does the Haka is so powerful.

Why am I crying and want to run through a brick wall at the same time Edit: the ending is so powerful. The ending was so quiet, and so much respect from the guests and people involved. Such a powerful performance.

This is a wedding gift. Unity. Respect. Community.

It's March 2023. I watch this for the ***th time and the tears still flow.

What a Special Tribute!!! The Haka is one of the Most Spiritual Blessings!!! What a Huge Power form the Ancestors!!!! Soooooo Humbling!!!!

I’m forever grateful to this couple for sharing this moment with the world.

Somebody please tell me what I'm witnessing.. all I know is I'm emotional and shaken and I'm not even kidding. This was to beautiful

That breath of pure pride from the bride gets me every time.

Ancestral war dance, that's how colorful their culture is, Much respect. from the heart.

I am First Nations of Canada, Mohawk and Inuit mix. We love you as distant brothers and sisters. We are starting to reconnect with Tunnit, traditional tattoos od the face and body. I have my markings so my ancestors recognize me and I will not burn through the process of the body to spirit passing through to the afterlife. I cry when I hear your war songs and ceremonies. Like my people, women were wsrriors too, amongst the best historically,women have been our peoples guide. Men and women have their roles. Our history and culture and blood is so strong, by keeping and fighting for our rights as PEOPLE not animals to the colonizers minds, we are the resistance and the rebirth of our ancestors wildest dreams. Keep your songs, ceremonies and ways, keep it again from THEIR eyes, as we are the true keepers of the earth, old souls, like my peoples, hurt and broken but resilient, like yours, are the testament to strength and love and keepers of old knowledge those whom are evil wish to keep and posses. Stay strong, with love, me and all my relations. P.S does anybody know of the First Wave Christian club /association and if anybody knew about an individual by the nickname Shadow who had allianeces to Bethel Chapel Church in Montreal, Quebec. I remember having pictures with a girl named Leiliani back in the mid 1990s. If anybody knows, please give a sign. My adoptive parents took anybody from the church and I remember my little friend I made feom the First Wave christian association. I always wonder what happened to the people I will never forget. Sending love.

Wow! Always come back to watch this so beautiful! I am Canadian, married to Indigenous, First Nations Canadian. Indigenous Canadians also has beautiful ceremonies and traditions. Cheers from Canada, thank you for sharing! I will never tire of this. Much respect for the Natives, Maori people 🇨🇦🍁❤️

Wow the love and respect they have all of those male family members celebrating their female family member and her new husband and her husband joining in and showing the respect that he has in starting a journey with this woman I am just amazed

So powerful and moving. I've seen this a dozen times and find it incredibly beautiful. Always brings me to tears.

أحيي السكان الأصليين في كل مكان في العالم😊ترحيب جميل يوحي بالقوة ، تحيا فلسطين حرة 🇰🇼❤️🇲🇦

I think the bridesmaid is scarier than the men. Imagine you come home late unannounced and you turn on the light and see her charging at you making that face.

I love this. Men having each other backs as brothers. To come together as one whole. I LOVE THIS. The women having the back bone, so much power.

Some cultures welcome you. These people give you the POWER of their ancestors. Holy CRAP!!

It doesn’t matter how many times I see this. I always get the chills like it’s the first time I’ve seen it. I’m so happy I also represented my culture at my wedding.

I am unfamiliar with this culture, but I can tell it is a true honor to have this performed for you. A lot of respect and love that goes into someone sharing their culture in this way with you.

As an Englishman what I love about this is the sincerity. Most of the word only knows the Haka from the rugby but the bride's reaction here shows how deep and meaningful it is as a part of Maori culture. But let's not forget, in England we have the Morris dance. 😂

55 year old man.crying with pride for your family ..👍👍

pov: you watched the recent Trash Taste Ep

The only time I’ve felt something from deep within like something exciting just boiling up and all I could do was cry! Just beautiful

A person should watch this everytime they need to feed the soul. Amazing.

The 97 people that dislike this have never left the house. They don't know what goes on in the world, this Haka is so powerful, I cannot understand their language but what they are doing is very important and you can see in the groom and the brides eyes. Every culture has their unique ways of expressing love. This is their way. I hope to travel to New Zealand 🇳🇿 one day and experience this with my own eyes! Greetings from Nunavut

Pov : garnt and joey sent you here

I can’t stop commenting on this! Of all the haka on the internet, rugby included, this is head and shoulder above them all! Sincerity is so inadequate to describe this. A wedding, the joining of two people, an assimilation into a family; they spoke their being. The bride started to break. But the groom stood tall and answered their call with such ferocity and his bride backed him up. The guy with spear was really off the chain. If half our American marriages started like this… I cry every time

I was honored to participate in a farewell Haka when I served in Hawai'i. Still affects me all these years later seeing the unbridled passion. Brings tears to this old dogs eyes.

Bro when the groom joined it I got goosebumps

Omg. The groom feeling the moment before starting is so powerful

When the bride starts, I lose my breath every time! So powerful!

why does the Haka create such emotion is someone? I have no tie to it in any way and yet I get choked up and my eyes well up. wish i knew what it was.

The Energy beeing set free in the room by them is amazing. You can really feel it!

Absolutely the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen

This is the ultimate expression of ancestors having your back...pure love.

I have so much respect for other culture's strong sense of tradition. As an African-American women from the south that doesn't know much of her history I long for things like this.

How beautiful are traditions! No matter where they come from, they’re so special! Keep them alive

The raw emotions in this Haka always gets me crying every single time ❤
