Cultural Conversations: Haka and New Zealand Perspectives

A haka is a traditional Māori dance or challenge. The Haka is often performed in groups and can demonstrate the power, pride and solidarity of a tribe. Actions include stomping, tongue protrusion, and rhythmic body slapping to accompany a loud chant. The words of a haka often poetically describe ancestors and events in the tribe's history and aspirations. More modernly, the words of a haka may depict current events or political issues.#maori #maoritiktok #nzcultureshock #respect #fypシ #viral #ha
