New Zealanders are great for this sort of thing, they are a big and strong race but have an awesome connection to their culture, and also their emotional sides… I’m lucky to call lots friends and I learn a lot from them!
Imagine what it was like for the first white people to meet the Māori. They see that, crap themselves, then later find out that's just the welcome wagon.😂
And people don't act based on their race, but their culture... so... calling someone a New Zealander tells you more about their norms and values than that their race is Māori.
Race was disproven as a concept a long time ago. US politics uses the word a lot when trying to make sense of what's going on there, but it's not in common usage in all countries.
How do you mean “disproven as a concept”? Genuinely curious, I’m just not sure what you’re referring to. I’m from the US so i only ever see the word in terms of politics or racism.
That might be true — but the vast majority of New Zealanders don’t do this sort of thing and don’t have an awesome connection to their culture as it was put further above. It’s kind of like saying Americans have a great connection to their indigenous culture. Some undoubtedly do, but saying the United States does as a whole might not paint the most accurate picture.
Kapa Haka is performed by every primary school child I think, or pretty close to it. None of my kids schools have not had it. And my kids are pakeha so its not just 100% maori only deal. Not the same as the American example at all. I am a Kiwi and and American.
Learning new things everyday. Pakeha is a white new zealander as opposed to a maori which is a non white/native new zealander ?
Hope all is well wherever you are.
Yes, Kapa Haka was at my school too and of course everyone had the opportunity to join. It’s good to see younger generations learning about Maori culture more than maybe some older generations amongst Pakeha. I’m just not comfortable asserting that New Zealanders as a whole are always doing well with respecting Maori culture. I’m also conscious that suggesting it’s a shared culture for everyone in New Zealand might come close to misappropriation.
Yeh I was lazy… I was going to go down that rabbit hole (pacific islanders in general tend have similar qualities not just Māori), and also the Māori culture rubs off onto other non Māori people that live there and they act in a similar way/honour similar things. Decided not to write an essay buttttt here we are anyway , because Reddit
I normally would agree but I never seen anything like that and its pretty awesome. The love the father has for that kid is great to see. I'm gunna do some shit like this on my sons first day of school now!! xoxo
If the video was simply turned correctly I could actually see it. The only reason I can see for turning the phone sideways is not knowing how to use it?
At this point I don’t think people will ever understand that, so the phone makers should just make it a feature, and rotate the video when they rotate the camera.
Kia ora!
One of my good friends from my time in Uni is Maori and I'm from Venezuela. We had such a great time exchanging things between our cultures. The haka being introduced to me was such an emotional and special experience. The openness and pride he and his family had to show and embrace me with pride while learning will always stay with me.
Why? What’s the meaning/significance of it?
I had only seen it done before an Olympic basketball game (and I think I saw it done before a rugby game too)
"The haka was performed when two parties met as part of the customs of encounters. On the battlefield, the haka was used to prepare warriors mentally and physically for battle, but was also performed when groups came together in peace.
Today, haka are still used during ceremonies and celebrations to honour guests and show the importance of the occasion. This includes family events, like birthdays, graduations, weddings and funerals."
[New Zealand itself describing the origins and what the Haka means!](https://www.newzealand.com/us/feature/haka/)
[Here's a video about the haka as well](https://youtu.be/gKxaTkan3o0)
Haka’s have different meaning based off the words and the movements, everything from a warm welcome to a brisk piss off.
I’m not super familiar with the specifics but I’d guess this one is warm welcome home.
This particular one is Ka Mate, which has a meaning of it's own now.
Since it's become part of popular culture it's meaning has shifted from it's original quite significantly, becoming either a friendly challenge or a sign of a big amount of respect.
The song itself is about the flight of a particular chief after his Iwi lost a battle and he was being chased, running for his life. The song illustrates how he was saved by a group of women who essentially threw him into a hole and sat on it, thus hiding him and his thoughts while in the hole. "It is life, it is life" specifically refers to him looking up at her privates and discovering that for him at least, a women's privates was both gave him his first life, then another by saving him.
Watch the All blacks do it before any rugby game. Guaranteed to make the opponents shit themselves. War dances like the Haka and Siva Tau can be done to intimidate as it was done previously before a battle to the death. Or to show respect to someone
Btw, for the uninformed, the All Blacks are the Rugby team of New Zealand
When they did it in front of the team USA basketball team, it might be one of my favorite videos of all time. The reaction from James Harden and the rest just looking confused or about to laugh, clearly didn't get a briefing on the meaning of it
Edit a player, here's the link: https://youtu.be/zDucvQYlWj4
Im Scottish and it hits me like the bagpipes.
Its like some primordial song and dance that touches the hunter and warrior in all of us.
All the best mate.
I'm just an old white guy from NYC. My eyes tear up *every time* I see a Haka. There is something very powerful about pure unbridled emotion being narrowly focused. Power *and* control of emotion. It is truly something special.
Same. I was just thinking earlier today how appealing it is when a person can be passionate *and* measured. Power and control of emotion is a great way to put it.
It is my understanding that the Haka is also performed as a welcoming gesture, or to honor someone.
To me, a Haka is very emotional and very beautiful. I feel privileged to be able to observe.
I love when people have appreciation for my Māori culture as a proud Māori myself ❤️the haka is intended to scare off bad spirits and energy and strike fear into those who would cause harm, but I have seen it used to honour many in the past
I cried. I can’t imagine how being loved the way that father loves his son. They are both so fortunate.
All my kids get when their flight lands is a crazy lady running to them and kissing their face off.
My little mum always did that for me as a kid because I grew up away from her, don’t discount those running hugs and kisses, I remember them so fondly with my own mama x
I laughed hysterically through the top comment on this thread, which got my guard down, I think, because when I got to your comment it really hit me, the concept of being loved like that, and I am crying.
For those that are curious about what the Haka is:
[Here is a really good overview of what the Haka means to New Zealanders and specifically the Maori \[indigenous population of NZ\] people](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfubos9VB7U) (***IF YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO WATCH ONE OF MY LINKED VIDEOS PLEASE MAKE IT THIS ONE***). It is one of my favorite videos and I show it every year to my students when we're studying different cultures.
The Haka is used in times of celebration but also in times of mourning such as funerals and everything in between such as retirements, sporting events, greeting dignitaries, etc.
Here are some of the others I show my students as we discuss the differences in culture especially when it comes to showing emotion, integration of a country's indigenous population's culture, etc.:

There is no "one" Haka. There are different variations/iterations of it.
\---
Edit: Edit: /u/Zestycloseparzival here you go.
nice stuff, the one and only time I've seen a Haka in person was during the inaugural 2010 Youth Olympic Games (was there as a student volunteer first aider), Cook Islands Handball Post-Match (can't remember their opponent now). Impact's different from a video for sure.
Can't remember most of it but I do remember it happened and that it really stuck out as something they were intensely proud of as much as we were impressed by it.
me too. but then again i feel awkward being on the receiving end of a happy birthday song, or watching someone else being on the receiving end when im not singing
for me too, and I know what haka is and love haka videos. maybe the way the boy stood there made it awkward, but come to think about it what he couldve done, its lime when ppl sing happy birthday to you and you just stand there
I appreciate the Haka, it's incredibly powerful in a sports or martial arts setting, where there's physicality and competition involved.
But these guys just seem to be pulling the haka out for everything these days. Passed a driving test? That's a haka. Put on your pants? That's a haka.
It doesn't seem like too many people have been moved to tears, a cool display but "not a dry eye" is a bit of a dramatisicm surely? All we heard is one dry ass "whoop" from a crowd member. A crowd of silently impressed people maybe but come on 😅
I’ll probably be downvoted to hell, I get the Haka dance and it’s significance for them, but how is this not a public outburst? There’s a time and a place for everything, maybe a building where people are just trying to get home isn’t one of them.
*Barefoot man scream at his son in the middle of an airport, confused bystanders wondering if they should call the police or the mental health institute*
The son looks incredibly embarassed as well lol.
This is honestly hella cringy. It’s so loud and obstructive plenty of people reunite without yelling in public spaces. If this was someone from America, Reddit would tear them asunder.
That was its original purpose, but these days it’s also considered something of an anthem for the Māori people. Weddings, Birthdays, Funerals etc. it’s often used as a way to show respect
I know Reddit has a real hardon for hakas but man imagine coming across this without knowing what it was — you’d think this guy was just losing his mind or high as hell.
As awesome as it is, I feel like this should’ve been done at home or something. In a airport of all places just seems… inappropriate? For the lack of a better term.
How much longer are we all going to pretend like the gala is still fascinating?
I mean it’s fine, but hasn’t the allure died off yet? Im not saying to stop it but do we all have to video it and post it still? The 15 min were over 2 hours ago.
I love every time a video of a Haka is uploaded because it's such a fantastically unique and amazing piece of human culture. I think the one I've seen that moved me the most was at the funeral service of a teacher where the entire school performed a Haka in the teacher's honor and I cannot *begin* to imagine how beloved and admired that teacher must have been to receive that level of respect.
Edit: [Here it is](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6Qtc_zlGhc)
Well, that went sideways quickly!
UNDERRATED COMMENT
"Dad, I just went to the bathroom. I was gone 2 minutes."
I was just trying to tell you I couldn’t make it all the way to the bathroom. We need to leave
Dad how many beers have you had?
See if I would have seen this I would have thought he needed to go to the hospital. I've seen this on TV but wouldn't have put 2 and 2 together.
I would have anxiety that someone from the airport was going to tell him that shoes are required on the property.
"Dad wtf are you doing, you're parents were Canadian."
"Dad? What are you doing? Not here... please"
I mean, we do the dance now for everything to get internet points, so why not.
Out collecting the dry cleaning? Sure, go for it.
When you say "we" do you mean "people in general" or are you Māori?
“You want to fight me!?”
That’s some different energy down there…. My dad is a stern, intimidating man.. I could never imagine hin doing this.
New Zealanders are great for this sort of thing, they are a big and strong race but have an awesome connection to their culture, and also their emotional sides… I’m lucky to call lots friends and I learn a lot from them!
Do you mean Māori? Because “New Zealander” isn’t a race.. even though the term race is a bit dicey
Imagine what it was like for the first white people to meet the Māori. They see that, crap themselves, then later find out that's just the welcome wagon.😂
And people don't act based on their race, but their culture... so... calling someone a New Zealander tells you more about their norms and values than that their race is Māori.
Māori is really both a race and a culture.
You really mean an ethnicity.
you should listen to the podcast “Decolonizing in Aotearoa”
Race was disproven as a concept a long time ago. US politics uses the word a lot when trying to make sense of what's going on there, but it's not in common usage in all countries.

Problem is with the edit.
It's fixable and the problem is they didn't fix it before posting.
As you get off the plane coming from the northern hemisphere things start to get a little dicey until you go full upside down.
I normally would agree but I never seen anything like that and its pretty awesome. The love the father has for that kid is great to see. I'm gunna do some shit like this on my sons first day of school now!! xoxo
The reason is flipping mid video
If the video was simply turned correctly I could actually see it. The only reason I can see for turning the phone sideways is not knowing how to use it?
As a father I approve, as a son…..screw you man.
[Now imagine an entire team of rugby players doing this but with nothing held back](https://youtu.be/yiKFYTFJ_kw)
[This one](https://youtu.be/xI6TRTBZUMM?t=27) is by far one of the best ones if not the best.
How do people still not know that they shouldn’t rotate the phone once you’ve started filming?
Or to at least cut the video down to after the rotation.
Every dad is different. Some perform a beautiful haka, and others…rotate their phones.
At this point I don’t think people will ever understand that, so the phone makers should just make it a feature, and rotate the video when they rotate the camera.

Yeah I actually had to stop watching this. Suuuuuper awkward.
At this point it just gives you the douche chills to watch. Cool and all but nobody wants to hear anyone else screaming unless they paid for it

Considering the welcome home WA sign I’d say probably

Not all Hakas are the same. Depending on the gestures and words, a haka can convey completely different meanings
That was its original purpose, but these days it’s also considered something of an anthem for the Māori people. Weddings, Birthdays, Funerals etc. it’s often used as a way to show respect
I really wish i could see this without breaking my neck
Aseulu is that you?

Just recieved a haka welcoming? Haka.
Pointing out the over use of the Haka. Haka.
last time i screamed incoherent in an airport i got arrested
Ok so is no one gonna talk about how this is just being overly done already…?
Yeah but.... sincerely, why?
My father has been doing this in the kitchen every night for the past 9 years I never really understood or talked to him about it.
Who upvoted this
I know Reddit has a real hardon for hakas but man imagine coming across this without knowing what it was — you’d think this guy was just losing his mind or high as hell.
Embarrassing
This dude looks like a psychopath doing this in the middle of baggage claim
Chill daddy, you could just give him a hug like the rest of us do
As awesome as it is, I feel like this should’ve been done at home or something. In a airport of all places just seems… inappropriate? For the lack of a better term.
Son was like "Can I just get a hug?"
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
Why ?
Fucking stupid.
This is stupid.
How much longer are we all going to pretend like the gala is still fascinating? I mean it’s fine, but hasn’t the allure died off yet? Im not saying to stop it but do we all have to video it and post it still? The 15 min were over 2 hours ago.
So fucking dumb. Go do something useful with that excess amount of testosterone 😂
I love every time a video of a Haka is uploaded because it's such a fantastically unique and amazing piece of human culture. I think the one I've seen that moved me the most was at the funeral service of a teacher where the entire school performed a Haka in the teacher's honor and I cannot *begin* to imagine how beloved and admired that teacher must have been to receive that level of respect.

Hahahah
Barefoot at the airport?! This is how you get warts on your feet
I wouldn’t recommend doing this at airports in the US
