Truly I say, the Haka is one of the things that will help keep Maori culture alive, as it is learnt by Maori and non maori school children throughout NZ. Ake ake ake, tihei mauri ora!
I mean technically I guess they can’t perform it if they don’t have maori blood for a specific occasion like birthdays with only New Zealanders or when they are overseas for something idk,but with other maoris then it’s alright cause I mean the Haka is Maori
I’m just a girl from the US, but if I ever get the opportunity to witness the Haka in person, that would be a memory I would never forget. Have to give the Māori props, they are badasses
Every single time I watch a Haka it just amazes me and if you can't feel the emotion then there is something wrong. It gets me every time. Such an amazing thing!! Great job!!
All we used to get to do was sing Gaudeamus Igitur from the "blue book" in the assembly hall! Things have certainly improved! Still setting great tradition and am proud to have been part of it. PNBHS Old Boy 74-78.
WOW! This made the hair on the back of my neck bristle. What a fantastic experience and to see all these young people together..doing the Haka.. I would have run in double quick time if I was confronted with this amount of warriors doing the Haka before a battle. Awesome and frightening! What passion and enthusiasm they have. Certainly not snowflakes when this is being performed!😁
I can say that I have become obsessed with Haka I hope to go to NZ one day and hopefully learn haka and experience the culture. Big respect to the people for keeping their pride and culture
Every time I see the Haka, it does hit home to me… even though I am Dutch, it just simply does! And although I know what a Haka is and stands for, your school system absolutely does not. Could you please explain to me the Year 13, and who the guys on the balcony and below are?
@Sammy659 year 13 in New Zealand is the final year of high school in most countries they are known as form 7 ... here you see juniors from year9-year12 (on the ground) honoring/farewells and respecting their fellow year 13s brothers through haka and in response yr13s is showing their respects their thank yous to the juniors and also teachers.. hope that makes sense :)
Такой танец я впервые вчера увидела. Удивилась такому синхронному танцу! По моему бодрящий танец! Взрыв всех клеток и мозга в том числе! Интересные традиции!
I really wanna learn the power of Haka and be one with yall in spirit. I cant understand a single shit that theyre saying but the message got through me like music. 💕💕💕
By sharing their culture instead of isolating it under the guise of "wrongful appropriation", the Maori are guaranteeing their tradition lives on and expands.
give the building and the people respect bc doing it is hard enough but to do it with suit on must b hard! in nz building arent that strong and everyone doing the haka in there would b scary ngl
I have no idea what haka is Can someone please explain what haka is? Why do people do it? What does it mean? When do you perform a haka? What's the history behind the haka? 🤔🤔
I'm not a New Zealander, but as someone who has gathered some information about the ritual, a haka is basically like a battle cry and is usually performed by specific groups of Pacific-Islanders, especially the Maori who can be mainly found in New Zealand. However, in current times, hakas have become more common and can be learned by anyone who is willing to learn. It knows no race, gender, or age. One of its original intentions was to intimidate the enemy and showcase an army's immense power and determination in the face of war. That is why when performing a haka, people often take aggressive stances, make animalistic noises and chants, bearing their tongues as if to say they would not hesitate to devour an enemy's flesh, and rhythmic stomping to show synchronization and the power of number. This now has evolved into the world of competition where even national sports teams perform hakas before play. However, it is also a sign of great respect and approval towards another. It may not seem that way to some, but I perceive hakas to be something that gets one in very passionate state, almost bearing the soul even. That is why hakas can occur during a wedding, funeral, or another dignified ceremony. Hakas are probably one of the most interesting things some people will have the privilege of witnessing. The more passionate it is performed, the more you can recognize it as a legendary cultural tradition.
The haka is a war dance but in our time it's used as a sign of honour and respect.... Just like singing a loved ones favourite song at their funeral same thing... Us Maori will perform a haka or waiata to remember or honour their life
Ha......means to breath draw a breath deep Ka.......ignite...the fire within you with each breath drawn stokes the high intensity power needed to go into battle in this case life is the challenge seniors encourge the young genertions juniors pick up the challenge laid in front them and wish their comrades well as they move in their next chapter respect to all those b4 them honor to their tutors families that got them there different type used for the right occasion used to bring forth all emotions drawing energy from the elements to centre you group or no group we can all muster up our ancestors to help achieve the message to get across through feeling
in NZ buildings aren't built to withstand earthquakes, but Hakas.
Exactly! So much power that a haka brings!
shows how much the bulding respect
Let's bring them to defeat israel
The Haka on its own was an 8.5 magnitude felt it all the way here in Aus
I wondered about that. All that manly energy.....Rrrrrrrrr
Everytime. Every single time I watch the haka my breast swells and my hope in humankind is restored.
What??
I-
Wait, what?
doing the haka and hitting your chest feels painful
Are you pregnant and breastfeeding?!
Truly I say, the Haka is one of the things that will help keep Maori culture alive, as it is learnt by Maori and non maori school children throughout NZ. Ake ake ake, tihei mauri ora!
I'm a North African female in my 20's watching every haka video I come across and trying to learn the different versions.
I mean technically I guess they can’t perform it if they don’t have maori blood for a specific occasion like birthdays with only New Zealanders or when they are overseas for something idk,but with other maoris then it’s alright cause I mean the Haka is Maori
i really envy this If all schools had this culture, no child would be bullied.
They have their language?
@@tavishfinnegandegroot3513Ae, 3 official languages: English, Te Reo Maori & NZ Sign language
That school have one strong balcony.. hopefully the floor doesn’t crack.
suddenly i want to move to NZ and redo high school
Incredible to watch,the Maori people and their culture are amazing.
That’s not just Maori that made up of all cultures can’t you tell that’s the greatest think about New Zealander we accept everyone 😁
@@SG-sk8hm well it would be very interesting to know about the other indigenous New Zealand cultures if you say there are others.
@@margaretcooper797 No there’s only one lol
Put it this way... im on their side 😃
@@margaretcooper797 there is only one but I’m sure you would love it. Maoris love to share their culture as long as it’s not appropriated
I’m just a girl from the US, but if I ever get the opportunity to witness the Haka in person, that would be a memory I would never forget. Have to give the Māori props, they are badasses
Best graduation ever.
Every single time I watch a Haka it just amazes me and if you can't feel the emotion then there is something wrong. It gets me every time. Such an amazing thing!! Great job!!
Respect. Too many words are trivial. Respect.
I always get emotional every time I see this
Me too
Makes me tear up every time. I have no idea what's going on though 🙈
Respect offered, and gratefully accepted. Sort of " At last, a worthy opponent! We shall enjoy decorating the scenery with your entrails!"
The younger boys are giving a final farewell of respect and honor to the the seniors. Possibly on their last day or similar.
😂
That's your spirit you're feeling, answering the call of our ancestors & stirring your soul . Arohanui from nz ♥
We need this in Wales, United Kingdom. Big respect.
that would be a disrespect towards the culture.... only Maori peeps can perform it
@@hiroshimagiggity372 no I mean we need a form of respect like this in the UK. Kids have zero respect for anyone.
@@fuckyourhandle jesus, same in Japan too...
I was soo inspired by this, was having goosebumps and couldn't stop it
As a South African actor, I use Hakas to get me there for scenes where I need to cry. That or Rohan showing up to the party at Minas Tirith!
All we used to get to do was sing Gaudeamus Igitur from the "blue book" in the assembly hall! Things have certainly improved! Still setting great tradition and am proud to have been part of it. PNBHS Old Boy 74-78.
You know what's crazy? I was PNBHS 2009-2013 and we still sung Gaudeamus, i still sing it on the brews with old school mates
I have no idea why, ever time I watch these, I get choked up. Just amazing.
This is the BEST interpretation of adapting culture at it's best! This is beautiful!
WOW! This made the hair on the back of my neck bristle. What a fantastic experience and to see all these young people together..doing the Haka.. I would have run in double quick time if I was confronted with this amount of warriors doing the Haka before a battle. Awesome and frightening! What passion and enthusiasm they have. Certainly not snowflakes when this is being performed!😁
I would really love to learn more about the culture in the future, i could sense the feel, respect and proud these people have
It's so cool to see Non-Pacific Islanders to also participate in the Haka as this is one of the greatest forms of respect!
Gotta recognize and respect the warrior tradition...no matter the culture
Their Māori ancestors must be proud their culture hasn't been lost on future generations
I can say that I have become obsessed with Haka I hope to go to NZ one day and hopefully learn haka and experience the culture. Big respect to the people for keeping their pride and culture
I did not know their was more of this on youtube.
Today is a good day
Guy with specs in the middle must be a foreign exchange student 😂😂😂 1st day at school and you see this...😂
Man why does haka make me cry. Every time
You could probably hear this from a long way that’s how powerful Hakas are.
The shots of the back of heads is amazing. Who needs to see the emotion and hand gestures?
The RESPECT/CULTURE is BACK!! took awhile but it’s back 🙏🏼👏🏼🤙🏼
Amazing, nga mihi for sharing
@G Atkin / I think it was pretty amazing that you were able to resist temptation to join in , and keep filming ! ;-)
always always always a pleasure to watch a Haka
thank you for sharing
Absolute amazing
Every time I see the Haka, it does hit home to me… even though I am Dutch, it just simply does! And although I know what a Haka is and stands for, your school system absolutely does not. Could you please explain to me the Year 13, and who the guys on the balcony and below are?
my guess is year 13 are the senior students or the students about to graduate. that's my guess at least
@@RavagHer Thnxs
Nah dude you really dont know what the haka is if you think our schools dont. . . . .
@@shanestevens5194 think he meant he didn't understand the school system

Amazing people full respect, proud people ❤️
Proud of the Pacific Island heritage.
Такой танец я впервые вчера увидела. Удивилась такому синхронному танцу!
По моему бодрящий танец!
Взрыв всех клеток и мозга в том числе!
Интересные традиции!
Hakas are one of the most beautiful and powerful things I’ve experienced.
Feeling its power through my screen.... Wow
Это так круто. Мое почтение и уважение. ❤
I thought I could let look at another New Zealander lately, sometimes I can’t, that just fixed it up for me.
i really envy this If all schools had this culture, no child would be bullied
Very, very wrong.
The thunder that roars beneath my feet
From the land of warriors within us all.
NEW Zealand
Wow just wow! Fecking awesome 👍
My heart celebrates with you
I really wanna learn the power of Haka and be one with yall in spirit. I cant understand a single shit that theyre saying but the message got through me like music. 💕💕💕
Way to go boys way to go and wait to show respect for one another!!!!!!!! ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕
すご過ぎて、床が抜けないか心配。
Que lindo. Amazing
The logo 'nihil bone sine labore' is Latin for 'Nothing achieved without hardwork'.
Wish I grew up their and went to such school…
It's so beautiful!
Maravilhoso parabéns
I believe everyone has that inner warrior. The Maori culture certainly mastered how to harness that warrior and know how to bring it to reality.. 💯💪
That one odd giant in the crowd tho 😂 last 4th row
Fabuleux
imagine being a new student n see everyone doing this
Wonderful, wonderful
That…was…EPIC!
Amazing!!!! First timer WOW!!!!
They got the spirit
Огонь !!!
Why was there one person on the upper floor at the far right wasn't doing any movement?
Probably foreign student or something
Time for you to have 100 subs!
Tall dude with glasses in 4th row is easing his way through. Thought we wouldn't see you, did you? We do
It’s probably super fun to do this
Awesome 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Lindo, lindo, lindo, lindo 👏👏👏👏
SO COOL!
@Craig White. Why just Wales, why not the whole of the UK
I just love haka haka
The floors must be made of some quality wood, because that looks like it can destroy an ordinary floor.
Look at all that masculinity! I love it!
I love it.
Ooosshh mean!💪💪🇳🇿Chur the boys.😛
is this the same school as the one with the teacher retiring
Ahhhhh...😌....solidarity
Holy shit!!i wanna go to that school!!!
I dnt understand why it's done...but I like to watch this haka...
My faith in humanity is restored
By sharing their culture instead of isolating it under the guise of "wrongful appropriation", the Maori are guaranteeing their tradition lives on and expands.
Respect ✌️
I still find it intimidating in real life cause my family is SCARY performing the Haka.
Very nice boys...
give the building and the people respect bc doing it is hard enough but to do it with suit on must b hard! in nz building arent that strong and everyone doing the haka in there would b scary ngl
One question if you not originally new Zealander, and living in n.z and go to high school
Do you compulsory have to the Haka?
dependent on the school, if you're given the chance you should take it
Thaaaaaaaaaaank you Filo
I think NZ school building Quality approved again triceratops attack
Nd that's how you restore masculinity in this Soft ass world
Im native american, Swampy Cree, we could have done damage back in the day, love the Haka, similar like our warcry
Respect to you our Native American I am Maori with this haka of ours, like you is a powerful cry of our tradition and Respect. we are natives aswell.
A Guy in the back is so into it that he ripped his shirt on right shoulder.
Tino pai e nga taitama!
Does someone have the lyrics ? Or know what they say please ?
I bet you a dollar to a doughnut that this school has very few discipline problems compared to and United State Public school.
Cap this school is very strict on how they teach
Now that's a school assembly.
I would probably just send a Hall Mark card....
Yo I thought that upper balcony was gonna collapse with all those big ass Maori boys stomping around up there
Some are New Zealanders too?
I have no idea what haka is
