This Haka was performed by the Groom's family. So beautiful! It's superb and at the time emotional! Made some guests cried including myself most especially when the Groom stood up and joined the HAKA!
It's called a hongi. When done, we're shearing our wairua (spirit/soul) with each other. This is not to be confused with hangi which is a form of cooking food. 😊
Why do people cry after they perform a Haka dance???? What's the meaning what does it stand for when they cry after they do a Haka dance???? Why is it so emotional??? I'm not familiar with it so please explain!!!!
Wrong. This is welcoming. There is many type of Haka, even specifically for weddings and funerals. You clearly know nothing whatsoever ever about your neighbours other then where they are from and have never once spoken to them about their culture. How about asking them? Educate yourself vs make a fool of yourself? Im sure they would appreciate you actually asking vs just spouting rubbish about their culture and that of many other islanders
@@stoof4598 that is not correct at all, Haka is an all encompassing term, that which you mentioned is from the Taranaki-Wanganui region it is not performed across all Islander communities who do a Haka. That is not what it's called across the entirety of the Islander communities, as Maori are not the only Islander community that exists. The term Haka is an all encompassing generic term for all ceremonial dance or display. For example, the All Blacks perform the Ka Mate or Kapo O Pango Haka. You ARE aware not only Maori perform them, and say those from the Solomon Islands are not Maori, nor are those from Papua New Guinea or Fiji. Where they also perform their own Hakas. Again, a Haka can be welcoming, a war cry, a funeral send off etc, they are attached to culturally significant events in the lives of those whom perform them. If your going to try and correct me, least know exactly what your speaking about. Haka isn't the name of the dance being performed rather it is the generic name for it, outside of knowing the specific name for the specific one being performed here or even on national TV when the All Blacks play. A non Maori would not do Pōwhiri, take someone from Fiji, it's not even in their language, it's not from their culture. Tho I'm sure they would appreciate it.
I could watch Haka performed all day long but what clinched this for me was.........that dog! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me too!
Yeah that dog was cool, wasn't even fazed, didn't even flinch
That dos was doing a march pass
HE TOOO!

I have so much respect for your culture. All I can say is Wow! Beautiful!

I love watching these, but haven't been able to find any info on the head touching done afterward. What is the significance/symbolism?
I think it’s a “kiss” in their culture. I am not positive though.
It's called a hongi. When done, we're shearing our wairua (spirit/soul) with each other. This is not to be confused with hangi which is a form of cooking food. 😊
Ow God.....
I pray to find a husband of the culture

@@kaddy2 a welcoming is a powhiri.... a haka is an expression, a physical and verbal face of the warrior.
