    Brother.. When your wairua comes to maturity and you begin to feel "mokemoke' (unforgivable yearning) for your whenua and tupuna (land and ancestors) We Maori say that it is time to climb your ancestral Maunga (mountain) and embrace the breath of the land from there, wash in the river that gave your ancestors sustenance and place your bare feet within the soil to reconnect to Papatuanuku (mother earth). Only then will ones wairua be replenished and you will feel fulfilled. Brother do not delay, raise your sail and let the breath of the ancestors guide you.. You know you have to do it so DO IT!!.. Mauri Ora brother.

    Our culture has touched your wairua.
    Your wairua is calling you home to Barbados. I hope you make it happen, that calling will only get stronger until you do.

I live in the US and have for a long time, but my connection to my people, my land, the wairua of my culture... Defines me. I am not me without it. I am not me without my ancestors and the legacy they have left gifted to me. I think your reaction from an outside perspective was ... Everything I would hope it to be. Respectful, intelligent, insightful and CONNECTED... even if we are from different cultures, somehow we are the same.

    Hey bradah TWUR, love the reaction. As a Pacific Islander, I had so much pride seeing this clip of the Māori Haka collab with Dre beats when it first came out. I’m Samoan and I was raised in California til 6 yr old, then my parents took me back to Samoa where I grew up til I left for the Military at 18. I am forever grateful they took me home because I learned so much about my culture language and traditions. I was able to learn and be with my elders that are no longer here and I can pass on the Samoan stories they disclosed to me for my generation and the younger. I pray you make your way back to Barbados 🇧🇧 so that you can find the piece to fill that void. Keep doin you and keep these uploads comin bradah. Stay blessed!!! Alofa atu Uso (much love brother).

    @errolsteadfast I appreciate you celebrating my Polynesian culture on your channel. I think a big reason why our traditions and this haka resonates with you and many other men of color is because of the expression of self through song and dance. I think our ancestors and yours are connected and your ancestors did the same kind of expressions for war and peace that ours did. Again mahalo for appreciating our culture and know that us Polynesians appreciate your culture as well. Peace.

    Raised voices and aggressive actions are not acceptable in a lot of cultures. For many Non-Maori, when they perform the haka, it can be a good way to release tension and doubt in themselves. It's a powerful tool to ease mental issues. Appreciate your reactions. Hope it helps you in your journey! ❣

    Welcome little Brother to the world family of God's through the Maori example.
    I sense that you treat it with the humility and gratitude that's intended.
    It's intense as our love for God and all His children; our world siblings, should be every moment of our existence.
    Raised in the Maori culture as a Maori boy with Irish, English, Spanish and African American blood, and with my darling mum's spiritual example, I had a naturally and overwhelming urge to reclaim my universal belonging to our Omnipresent Origin God where all things Human, Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral come.
    But the gratitude to God for placing your little brother in the Maori culture has never been lost.
    I know that you will agree that Our Souls yearning for re-establishment in God is generally and mistakenly circumscribed by blind patriotism when in fact it rightly should be all-inclusive.
    Bless you little brother.
    Arohanui. Always In Divine Friendship. 🙏🏽🙏🏻🙏🏿

For us as Maori, we alll know all too well, that pull of home. Our roots are not only in the land but are also the links of the chain of whakapapa/genealogy that binds us all.
    If I didn't know better, I'd swear you actually were part Maori😉👍😁🤷‍♀️🥳.... i mean, its uncanny how some of your reactions and mannerisms are SOOOOO MAORI 😅😊🎉, not to mention the fact that you immediately accept the reasoning or rationale for alot of things that not EVERYONE just "gets it" like that. and you do.... anyway, just an observation hehehe.
    Even if you ain't, that's kei te pai/ Allll good! We love taking in our "honorary Maori whanau" from another land.

  • @T_Vk1327
    @T_Vk1327 7 месяцев назад +1

    The Haka was more than intimidation, if both sides are evenly matched, then they both revert to the Haka to size up the opponents strength. A war between two tribes was determined by the Haka. Because whoever was more feared the other side would concede for peace, however if it was evenly matched it was going to be a gruesome fight.
    The tongue poking is to portray the after affect of dying when the tongue hangs out and the widened eyes is the look of fear before you are necked. the slapping and taring of our flesh from our chest face arms and legs was to say I feel no pain. But at the heart of haka it was also about saving our ppl preventing unnecessary death. In fact Ra tu (fight day) the only day fighting was allowed to prevent extinction of our own, regardless of tribe.

    Ties to land and each other run deep... we have whats called a pepeha, which is recitation of our ties, As Maaori we ackowledge ties to land and when we list our ancestors/forefathers we recite the waters, and mountain that we are descended from... so I would. say.. Ko piripi toku ingoa, ko Kenia toku mama, Ko Ned Toku papa, Ko tuapiri te maunga, ko waikato te awa, ko tainui te waka.... My name is Phillip, Kenia is mother, Ned is my father, Taupiri is my mountain, Waikato is my water/river, Tainui is my tribe (though waka is the word for boat/water-vessel... our tribal lines descend from which boat/waka our forefathers journeyed on)... and thats just the short abridged version.

    Brother you are never away from home.
    I've followed you and what's coming from your words......your physical self.......and your spiritual soul are your cultures cloak that surrounds you and protects you.
    We whom travel around the world are carrying our family.....our ancestors......our cultures spirit on our shoulders and know when we acknowledge them and our God..we are safe❤
    You have this in abundance!!!!That is why you are feeling what you are feeling........the ancestors are speaking to you!
    That gift of having them encompass us is the gift I pray all can experience, because it makes us proud of who we are as we hold our heads high to show them the greatest respect we can give.
    Regardless of where you are, what year it is, what's happening around the world. You will always be protected by whom you are.
    The past, present and future
    Our ancestors, ourselves and our future children.
    Tino arohanui ki a koutou e hoa.
    Much love and blessings from us to you.....your family.....your ancestors and your wairua❤❤

Seeing how deeply you feel the pull to Barbados, I hope you manage to find the path that will lead you there when the time is right

    You are home already, in your feels in your heart in your soul, whats missing is the connection, the connection to your tribe, to your natural birthplace to your mana, where ever your journey may lead, trust in you, your path is there, its your time to move with it, go back to your home country, learn about your people and about yourself, then go to New Zealand and learn about your emotions and your connection to our people. We can not choose family but we can choose our tribe. Kia Kaha bro.

    @mettaglyph635 7 месяцев назад +1

    First off I love your reaction videos Bro ….seeing how connected you are to the material emotionally.
    How you aren’t afraid to wear your heart on your sleeve. I discovered your channel through the Stan Walker I Am reaction viddy you did. I also had a powerful visceral reaction to it, tears were shed.
    I can honestly say that the Māori people are one of the most beautiful tribe of people (in every sense of the word) that God saw fit to put on this planet.
    My fascination with Māori culture first came about as a young kid when we were gifted a full set of Encyclopedia’s. I ended up reading the entire set from A to Z and when reaching the section on Aotearoa aka New Zealand, what really jumped off the pages aside from the natural beauty of the land were it’s indigenous people.
    That spark would ignite into a fire after seeing the movie Once Were Warriors as a teenager in the mid 90s. A brutally honest movie about the struggles of a Māori family in a modern secular world that will really rip your heart out and stomp it( I’ve cried every time I’ve watched it).
    There’s an expression that goes “In order to know where your going, you have to know where you came from” There’s truth to that statement.
    I come from a mixed background and am blessed to be the carrier of two tribal blood lines the Seminole and Cherokee and can say that I felt a real tangible connection to the land when I’ve visited Florida the home of the Seminoles and more of a connection with the people when I visited the Cherokee reservation at Tahlequah in Oklahoma since that’s not the original ancestral land of my ancestors.
    Even though the majority of my heritage traces back to Caucasian ancestry. It’s the tribal parts that speak the loudest to me and pull on my heart like the ocean tides.
    It’s also probably why I’ve never felt like I belonged or fit in anywhere but on an even deeper level because I identify as a child of God and the Bible states that a follower of Yeshua is basically a foreigner or alien in this world certainly factors into those sentiments as well.
    Years ago I was invited by a friend to participate in a tribal naming ceremony on the local reservation in my home state. The elder ended up choosing a celestial name for me instead of a terrestrial one which is rare in the Native cultures of North America so apparently they saw the same thing in me😎.
    In my 30s I moved to Hawaii and lived there for nearly 10yrs and spent months in Samoa, one of my friends was a Hawaiian studies teacher and I also had several friends who were trained in Hula.
    From all that I can say that Polynesia as a whole is a rich and beautiful culture one that I was drawn to and tried to be a part of on some level probably because it held up a mirror to aspects of my own indigenous background. I love the emphasis of Whanau or Ohana as it’s known to the Hawaiians since the importance of family is foundational to how I was raised.
    And just the unique way that Atua aka God is reflected in the Polynesian culture and any other nation of people on earth.
    Some Christians might take issue with the cultural traditions of different people saying it leads to idolatry. But truth be told anything can become idolatry even one’s interpretation of scripture if not careful since anything that takes one’s eyes off the most high God can constitute Idolatry.
    My take is that we have differences for a reason and God can use anything to glorify himself so if something is pointing back to Atua that’s not a bad thing. When people realize we aren’t just physical beings but spiritual ones positive changes can come from this.
    In a world awash in the superficial, the shallow, the temporal and profane. Where sex money and power are held up as virtues we need more of what points back to the divine, love, family, respect and togetherness.
    We can’t hope to get there without Gods help and that is where home resides.
    Thank you again for taking the time to react and help share the Māori culture with the rest of the world 🌎

      DNA is really interesting, I’m pakeha (white) my husbands mother was half Maori, half pakeha, some of my grandkids have full Maori fathers, one great grandson is of Maori, Chinese, Somalian, and pakeha decent, the ancestors of Maori came to Aotearoa (NZ) in the great Waka (canoe) fleets from Hawaiiki, might have spelt that wrong, and it was really interesting to see that my daughters ancestry DNA she had done she was something like 5% Hawaiian, and 1 or 2% Samoan, something we would never have expected, so most of the Polynesian cultures must all be very much connected 😊
