Just stopping by honor this beautiful preserved culture. YOU ARE SO BLESSED!!!
Much love from New Orleans!

BEAUTIFUL! I am a white woman from Michigan USA so as far from a Maori as you can imagine. EVERY time I see a Haka I am moved to tears. I dont know why, I do know Im not alone in that! Thank you for sharing this special time.
Keyvah Grant all people's who feel as you do, are created by God. We are his children and all life is his. You might like to listen to the NZ national anthem the 6 min version. In God we live, in God honour. Much love from NZ AOTEAROA.
I am also from Michigan originally. Moved to Florida in 2008. My grandson is a Staff Sargent in the USMC. We love watching HAKA. We say they are Maori Mariners. 😊
I first learned about this from my favorite movie Whale Rider.
It brings me to tears whenever I watch Hakas being performed; I don’t know why. It’s so endearing and I wish I could be a part of it. ❤
I’m from Canada! I feel the same way!
Honestly one of the best I've ever seen. They were so committed. Bride looked a bit scared though. LOL
I'd be scared too. Maori's tradition implies the men can share the bride that first night. They seem quite enthusiastic about that.
chinato I don't know where you got that information from? I know pre European days the family were outside the door while they did their business, but what you claim is NOT a tradition, please don't tell me crap like that is on the internet.
Honey, I'm an antrophologist specialized in sex culture. You're talking about the ancient roman tradition of the "tholemaics" (i guess it would be said that way in english). The tholemaics were some chants that were sang by the family and drunken friends in front of the house while the bride and groom were consumating. Those chants took their name after the Talam/Thalam/Thalamus, meaning the "bed" where they had sex and so forth (as a curiosity, the brain region responsible of sleep and dream is called thalamus/hipothalamus because of the same very reason). But that were in the wrongly named by you "pre European days". That's nothing to do with the maori's tradition I talked about in my first contribution. If you don't wanna believe it because of your projecting your own sexual taboos in other cultures... suit yourself; but I should recommend you to have an open mind ;)
When you specialize in Maori culture, then come back to me. From what I see you've specialized in readfin a whole lot of bullshit, as a Maori wahine myself there has never been anything of a sort.
You know where you can shove your theory ;)

I don't care how many of these I've seen..... They will always be cool. It seems like a a lot of heart and emotion. Fantastic
SOTEX_MATPUNCHER you hit the nail on that one 😉 all emotion is expressed in a haka whether it be sad or happy. I love it
Me too.ive had tears after watching this video
fantastic idi@ots!
The contrasts of the men doing the ancient Haka with ties and in suit shirts makes it even more impressive. It shows that this tradition will outlast time and space and as long as these people honor the traditions of their ancestors, their ancestors will never die. They are alive in every movement of these men.
Great comment. And accurate.
Is this Tika Tonu, or another haka? Just curious.
It must have been terrifying when the foreigners met with the original Haka.. I love this.. so passionate and patriotic. ☺️♥️
Such a beautiful culture never fails to give me the chills
I am fascinated by the Maori people and their culture. I can watch a hundred of these and I will cry every time. One of the most amazingly beautiful and touching traditions.
I hope I get to see one live one day.
Absolutely beautiful!
Denise Holladay you will enjoy NZ
So true! Why is it that every single Haka is so sincere and powerful?
Completely agree
@@solokomBecause in New Zealand you will get called out for going half pie. It's essentially military drills much like a kata in karate. And as with the kata, you do it with strength and purpose. Or you don't do it at all.
the sheer emotion, excitement, and restraint on the bridesmaids faces...
I think i have to move to the other side of the world by the looks of this.. handsome men out there 😍
Lorraine dh the women ain't bad either
John I get that.. so I will stay overhere.. haha unneeded :p
Lorraine dh I'm sure you are a beauty !
NZ men (Kiwis) are good looking men because of the mixed heritage of European settlers and Indigenous Pacific people.
So emotional, and you just feel something spiritual in this display of respect.
I have much love and respect for their culture. Amazing as usual! 😍
Missy P ikr ♥️♥️
Thank you
Awsome. Their movements and facial expressions by itself is a war declaration. Anytime I see Haka is an indescribable emotion and this video is absolutely awsome . You see real involvement . Best wishes and love to this honourable and proud culture.
Much love from Florida! Thank you for sharing your culture.
Cultural traditions promote support & bonding!
If that does not seal a marriage forever, nothing will
being a kiwi and growing up in NZ we are privileged to be able to whiteness something as beautiful as a haka.
potlovingchef14 it what New Zealanders call our selves. Like how an Australian would call themselves an Aussie. :)
Wow I always wanted to know what the nick name for New Zealanders are called... Wow that's awesome
. much love from the states
Everytime I see haka performance, I m getting emotional, it's best....love from India
Not being a 'kiwi' I too am privileged to be able to watch this, perhaps even more so... 👌
So much respect for those who keep their ancestors traditions alive
I wish their language was the international language....fucking love this shit.
I know, I would rather speak like that than speak English. Sounds cooler.
I just laughed so hard at this because it's so true! I love watching these. For the language, the behavior, the culture, the overall feeling. So much human spirit in these.
Maori is the language spoken and it is official language in new zealand :)
"An official language is a language that is given a special legal status in a particular country, state, or other jurisdiction." Maori is an official language in NZ. That status is not dependant on how many people speak Te Reo.
Did you know that the people who choose what is compulsory in schools are the schools themselves? The people who were hit in schools for speaking Mãori back in the days are still alive. The fact that Mãori have persevered in keeping the language alive is astonishing and other cultures who have been through the same as we have are following the lead of Mãori. Until you understand the struggle. And do some research, since English, Mãori and sign language are all official languages of NZ. I suggest you just stop making yourself look like an idiot.
Every time. I cry every time. It's clearly an ancestral song because you can feel the power in it every damn time. How beautiful.
Bloody amazing 🎉 congratulations to the couple! Much happiness
POWERFUL. I don't know the words, but it's Inspiring, primal, speaking of unity. Keep the Haka, spread it to all nations!
Man I love being Maori 👌
Hi there.. What is the name of this Haka? Thanks..
Drew Drewski me to
Respect. Much respect for preserving and continuing to honor your culture.
Beautiful... they are proud of their culture and they celebrate it...
The bride looked so graceful, beautiful, peaceful.
I have yet to witness a Haka that hasn't brought tears to my eyes. That kind of passion, respect and love of culture doesn't exist on the western side of the world.
Totally agree! 👌
It does you're just running in the wrong circles. Probably to you nothing as impressive as the maori haka but there are ceremonies and rites passed down in western civilization as well
I've lived in "western civilization" for 41 years and seen nothing remotely comparable to this. Yes, we have traditions and ceremonies but it's not like this in the least. @@katerriboeshans4776
I absolutely love Haka. It speaks to my soul. Please keep your culture its beautiful.
Just saw this for the first time. Wow! My heart rate escalated, I tensed up, and felt like this couple will tackle the future with mental toughness kind of love. And with a team of Haka chanting Maorian warriors by their side. Awesome. Thanks for posting.
This is so incredible!! I can't imagine what anyone's reaction would be to this if they didn't understand what it was about. Blessings to the newlyweds!! Thank you for sharing this.
This beyond beautiful. The Real men of the world!👊🏽
Makes me cry every time so beautiful!
Das ist absolut großartig !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love, Honor, and Respect.
So awesome! I love watching these videos. Makes me wish I lived in NZ. I have my brother in law to thank for showing me the videos on the All blacks.
I love this haka dance. One of the wonderful things I see is the strong unity with the groomsmen. best wishes to you both.
Wow, absolutely breathtaking! That couple is blessed!
its beautiful the tribe lay down the law and the groom accepts ..stunning
I love this so much. Just like my Aztec Danza gives me chills this does as well, I hope I am blessed with one of these beautiful men.
Second Generation Cherokee Third generation Cree
approve totally of Haka
Respect to your ancestors
This is the same as my auntys wedding at my auntys i couldnt stop crying with joy for her and im ten
Speechless.
I am a white woman who obviously takes claim to no part of this beautiful culture. I don't know what they're saying, but every single video of hakas that I watch never fail to get me emotional
I would be crying my eyes out. How incredible was this
Maoris Traditions are the best that I ever see in my life. It's was a honor for me to see live a haka, it is a very emotional thing.
wow wow wow so cooool!!!!!
For those who haven't known this kind of culture, they might be laughing while watching this. But if you get to know what they are saying, even you do not know actually know what they are saying, you will eventually admire their performance thru their action and intensity of facial expression, loud sound, and hand gestures. Truly amazing and impressive especially the Groom facing the Men exchanging words which I cannot comprehend but sounds amazing. Hearing this in a position of a Bride feels so greatly protected by Men. LOL! 💪💗
Outstanding!!!! Bride thinking , oh my , they aren't even liquored up yet... Any parties we have , have to be outside!!!
I loveeee watching HAKA! I want to see it performed in person one day.
Deep bloodline/brotherhood... Unbreakable bond
Keep the tradition and culture going. Much love from Florida
So beautiful what an honor to watch!!
I think this so more than amazing..its like when they dance ,they are in a world of their own..what a beautiful culture..what a thrill to actually see one in person..
God dam i wish i was born in this culture, no mater how many times i see the haka i get goosepumps
our culture is beautiful but the pakeha (English) people here still shit on us. So although we might all look united when you see other non Maori embracing and doing the haka that a the only aspect of our culture they care about anything else they don't want a bar of
I LEGIT GOT GOOSEBUMPS!
This is the most intricate Haka I've seen so far. Fantastic!! I don't understand why the guests and newlyweds don't ever get excited over this performance. They just sit there as if nothing is happening. I would be jumping up and down with excitement. What a great culture.
But if someone is doing a Haka for you, you are expected to meet it with respect and strength, as I understand that.
She is marrying a warrior and his people.
I am in tears .
The EMP noise they make before the groom kneels is fuckin epic
WHOA!! There are some big boys here!! I love Haka. Much love from Canada!! :)
It's so powerful that even not knowing the words it moves you to tears.
So moving, touching...Family!
Watching this tears me up emotionally. Much love and appreciation to the culture of New Zealand and the rest of Polynesia. #WipesTear
one of the best Hakas i have seen so far considering choreography.
Search "Maori Haka 2017 Auckland" Now this is choreography.
Awesome guys beautiful wedding congratulations
Great coverage by the Video team!
Wonderful!!!
I love this so damn much!
I love haka, so emotional
Bet that got the bride worked up for her wedding night ;)
Absolutely beautiful
So much testosterone in that room.
jeroen eichhorn right?
you can totally feel it through video.
Jeroen-martijn Eichhorn agree
omg the brides dress is fab 😍
I love the groom LOL!
This is great..Even though I’m a few years late.. WoW.. I could feel this..
what is right is right indeed
everyone will be intimidated by this, but at the same time it is really great to see them. I move to tears everytime I see Haka being performed
Adorable ❤
Much respect!!
The bride looks like she is being held at gunpoint lol
Maori men are the hottest🔥🔥
J Lewis ikr? They seem so reliable, can hunt and protect their loved ones at any cause. 😍
@@mechelle9851 Hey just because i don't hunt doesn't make me less desirable. I can scramble eggs and i know how to call 911. 😂😁
They are no different from other men...Some are great , some are not so great. Some are complete shit... That's life
This is beautiful
his face at 0:43 tells how badly he wanted to join in. Intense power.
If this culture ever stops honoring Haka, i'll start third world war.
😂😂😂 our maori people will never ever let our language and traditions stop
Beautiful haka,beautiful people.
Wish the married couple a happy marriage❤️
Never forget the teachings of your ancestors. They live in us through DNA and we shall continue their ways
Jah lives in New Zealand too. The Rastafari faith is practiced here too my African brother.
I am truly envious of this culture. I really wish i was born a part of it.
This was awesome beautiful and what an honor for the couple
MY DREAM WEDDING 👌🏻😁
frank ocean hey, Hi-Fi same here 😏😁🤗🤗
