Thas scary.
@@Valdasmediumjjii
So this is what it's like to live in a country that maintains and instills the culture of its indigenous people and doesn't commit a cultural genocide of its indigenous people.
They actually did do a cultural genocide but kept the haka for sports purposes.
@@jaredgarbo3679 ''kept for sports purposes'', where did this information come from? 😂. If you were from Aotearoa you would know Māori culture is strong here. The haka is just one small part of our culture. Do some research.
yep
While playing a sport invented by the invader. The past is the past, you learn history to not repeat the same mistakes not to insult the current generations.
ehh i disagree.
The captain instilled a deep fear within me. I have the feeling she could kill me through glares alone
I think my heart stopped when the camera showed her face.
This is just apart of their culture she's not going to kill anyone 🤦🏽♀️
@@briannamanmohan6459 I know, but the origins of haka was a dance to prepare male warriors for battle. Also, her expression is very fierce
@@Roma-kp4qg the Haka is not only used for war. It's more like a ceremonial dance, used at significant events, so you could think about it as a formalised expression of emotions.
@@tansiian That's interesting, thanks for sharing! That makes sense, then. The emotion they're expressing here is triumph
So nice to see the crowd remaining silent and showing respect to one of the great traditions of New Zealand rugby
It’s one of the greatest New Zealand traditions for everything.
True😘
right? I just watched the wedding haka and WOW
@@swhertzberg oh wow that's where I just came from too, how cool
I have been watching a couple haka videos. I don't see some random person screaming randomness. I see a warrior, a spirit speaking for war, gives me cold chills. Some may hear some random yelling, I see so much more. I hear war cries, language generations old, hundreds upon hundreds of years old. Still alive till this day, all the history coming out of the warrior as she sings. Such beauty.
Jesus loves you
repent,forgive and become saved today so that you can hug Jesus at the gates of heaven 🥰
say this prayer Lord i know i am a sinner and i admit that i am . I confess with my mouth and believe with my mouth that Jesus is your aon and that he died for me on the cross and rose on the third day. Jesus please forgive me for my sins and come into my heart and life and become my Lord and Saviour. Thank you for saving me. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY ❤❤❤

Beautifully said.

Agree completely. I can also see the pride for being Maori, and share their feelings with the whole world

😂😂😂😂
What do you mean by in the wrong neighbourhood?
@@313eve if I’m not mistaken, haka is a traditional dance or challenge that was used in battle (I believe?? I only know so much) so yea they’d be in the wrong neighborhood
@@bboat42069 In Battle and as greeting actually.
The Haka gives me goosebumps man. Never seen a tradition done with so much love and passion
Glad to hear I'm not the only one to get literally goosbumps watching someone doing haka even though i have no connection with that culture whatsoever. I would love to see it in person i'd probs get overwhelmed and shed some tears lol
You mofos get goosebumps over anything lol
Just did it to me at 1.16
facts
I mean no disrespect, but the dance just seems to be a savages dance there is no beauty in it.

Nah, that doesn't work like that

I love this so much, because the Haka isn’t about being pretty, it’s about being fierce. They display a power that so many women tone down because it’s scary to not be seen as beautiful even for a minute. Amazing!
This sums it up exactly
I’d say they are very beautiful.
🤮
@@gibson7654 wtf??
@@user-QQQQQQQQ what? Want to clean it up?
Just the fact that the entire stadium pauses and allows these great people to freely perform and express their culture is what really tears me up. It just shows ridiculous amounts of respect for them and everyone
Man, can you imagine how *terrifying* it would be to hear *hundreds* of Maori warriors doing the Haka.
I've become obsessed with watching all the HAKA's!!
Ur not alone, ur not alone..
Me too
I started watching Haka videos yesterday and now I can't get enough of it.
I thought i was the only one 😂😂
Lol me too i love it.
I think the respect NZ pays to their Maori traditions is brilliant.
I think the respect that traditional Maori culture demands, of any people it comes in contact with, is brilliant.

Jeff Bevan It really is💝
Jeff Bevan These people take it seriously, I can't not give props.
@@waahaah861 yall killed each other over minor religious differences
@@chromesthesia And natives didn't? We know that many native american tribes used religious justifications to wage war. Also if the war because of "religious differences" you are referencing is about the 30 years war then you clearly don't know much about it because the 30 years war was more of a power struggle within Europe with the facade of a religious conflict.
it's my first time seeing women's haka and i love how it's just as powerful even though it's very different
When they huddled:
"Okay new plan... Just let them win.."
Yeah... Traditionally they ate the defeated. SO.... I'd just start running if I were you.
😂😂
Translation: as your life forces leave you I will teach your soul to be humble
Like this?
Dynamo X hahahahahaha
@@dynamox7295 it’s called a Haka. It’s a tradition that can be used to challenge, at weddings and at funerals.
When I read this my jaw dropped
That's what they're saying? that's beautiful.
If the sentence “ you’re dead” was translated into a dance
So nice to see the crowd remaining silent and showing respect to one of the great traditions of New Zealand rugby
konos ioannidis They were probably just confused lol
lol
In another male haka video thet translated it. Parts of it is repeating: I'm ready to die

I absolutely adore how the haka is not only about performance but also about passion and fierce. Imagine how great it must be to live in New Zealand.
It feels awsm. That's the essence of NZ.
Every time I watch a haka being performed, I have a feeling the performers channel their ancestors thrpugh it. It makes me both afraid and deeply respect the tradition. Very emotional watching, my heart races every time.
You do know that some of them are white people of northern European ancestry? It doesn't matter a whoople to me, but I know some people, with nothing better to worry about, get most agitated about something they call "cultural appropriation"..
You can see the intense fear in that England team”s faces 😂
They were sad I think, why would they be afraid anyway?
@@firstnamelastname4249 They were afraid I think, why would they be sad anyway?
@@eknath6357
Because they lost the WC?
@@firstnamelastname4249 Lol, the joke flew right over your head... either way, you meant to say "angry", they don't look very sad to me.

I would of turned around and walked tf out after seeing this like aight I ain’t dying today lol 😂😂😂

WOULD OF? Not WOULD HAVE? Go back to school. Take Greta with you.
it would be your loss to miss such a beautiful and deserving performance.
Screaming 😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
The haka always make me feel some deep emotions.. I just love watching it!!
wedding hakas make me bawl every time lol
0:53 even their opponents got emotional, wow
They already got defeated
Emotionally scared
This is the 1st haka i saw from women team with so much aggression, i can feel the energy
Just wow
I am literally crying
Pooja Janajk
we always see this intensity when ever it is done at home I'm proud of my daughters and sons when they stand with me or on their own
Pooja Jana same
Oh that is just the tip of the iceberg. I am always in awe whenever I hear and see a haka being performed. They give all their mana to their performances, 100% nothing less. I love it. 😁
+booyah2u 2: Yes, haka teaches me about fire in the belly, ferocious vitality!!!
My mom: Take the chicken out of the freezer
Me: Forgets
My mom:
Ryan 19 All moms 😂
😂😂😂😂
Dude I read children instead of chicken.😹😹
😂😂😂😂
i am trying to enjoy this and you gotta make me feel bad by laughing please
I can feel the surge of power and the urge to do something just listening to this
For those that don't know, a haka is basically a dance/cry that is a challenge or declaration of strength - Maui performs one towards the end of the film Moana to distract Te Ka from attacking Moana.
Is it nice that Polynesian history is so carefully preserved today. "Te Ka" is virtually the same name as one of the two closest things that New Zealand's navy have to battleships. In fact the current commander in chief of the navy once commanded her. The other one goes by the confusing interpretation of "The Power" or "The Authority".
Except women arent allowed to lead a haka in Maori socicety.
Haka
dose also so have other meanings.
No you will Never know what it Really means in our ancestors I'm afraid why don't you go back too where you come from an tell your own sister's story's Thanks Alot.
Kia Ora!
@Not MyRealname It depends on the haka. I went to a mixed primary school and even with boys we had one haka that was led by the girls. (there was another just for the boys, and another with everyone that was led by boys). And then I went to a girls high school and we had our own haka - girls only. Haka are diverse. It's a living tradition with many different facets and contexts.
I love seeing a girl version. The girls definitely are more graceful in their movements. With the guys, you see more stomping and they make more sounds and slap more. The women are doing more dance like movements, but still are very intimidating with the way they speak and act. If I was on the other team I would be smiling tbh. It would be such an honor to be watching this in person.
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING
Haka is beautiful
I agree with you. I could feel the emotions watching it. They did amazing.
I like stomping
Thats because the girls can't clap their boobies, that hurts even being a man dude.
English team while in the huddle: We are *SO* fucked.

They had already lost mate
that's England lol.
if you want to refer Britain as a whole, the closest being is the British and Irish Lions
England team, not the British team.
This is the first Haka from Women that i saw, and they are actually amazing
It's very normal in new zealand, females and males have always performed the haka. The actions or "dance moves" are just varied depending gender.
This is one of the more impressive ones, I've seen others where the majority of the team looks like their watching it on an instructional video for the first time.
Haka gives me chills every time. Male, female, rugby, wedding, funeral; doesn't matter. Often brings tears to my eyes.
Same here, I'm on a haka binge currently, these are amazing!
I wish we had something like that here.
Haka makes cry too. It is touching and moving
Need to grow a set than Skippy
I see this ritual as channeling life force energy in a constructive way. Power of Spirit
Amazing!
Dude their ultimate goal was to instill fear in the hearts of their enemies and boy oh boy was fear instilled in the hearts of anyone within a 100 mile radius
The intense look on their faces, the fierceness and not to forget, their buffed physique... Man.
I wouldn't want to mess with them.
Beautiful display of female version of haka. Love it. 💞💞
From what I understand of the Maori cultures they have totems and carvings with similar expressions and are trying to emulate them by making facial expressions like that. It truly it a beautiful tradition! So much love and care for the past! :)
aahh.. MOTHERHOOD amiright..
I want to watch the game after watching this.😂
Kiwis shattered them as you'd expect.
yo lmao what’s the name of this game i wanna watch it 🤣🤣😂😅
@@JeslieLaughs cricket
Just imagine what will be their reaction after they lose after all doing this
@@DirtyKneegahs They won 41-32
That's not what I'd call shattered...
This was beautiful, I even shed a few tears
I'm not Samoan or Maori, but I love how it represents luck, power, and sacrifice. Beautiful performance, ladies!

Lol your comment was jokes
Lmao😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣u deserve it bro
I have no idea what they're saying, but I love it! You can FEEL it!
You can google it!
something beauty greetings from Poland to New Zealand people
I was born and raised in New Zealand. My family moved away when I was 12 and I haven't been able to return since (I'm 31 now). Whenever I see the Haka performed, I cry. I miss my home so much. One day, I'll go back.
It seems to be an amazing country. I'm from Brazil, going to live there next year.
Been away for 5 years. Everytime I get homesick I just watch vids of haka.
The is my 17th Haka today I cant STOP👀
so you've got a haka addiction too huh
Relatable
Haka noodles do be tasty tho
Women warriors representing!!! I felt chills watching this, I want to learn how to perform haka now!
I'm crying. This was POWERFUL!
There hasn't been a single one that hasn't moved me. The Haka is such a beautiful tradition and view into a culture I feel drawn to for some reason. Love watching the intensity, pride, and passion.
I cry every time I see a haka dance. I love it. Beautiful.
AndryFae21 haha you need to get out more.
Mannsy83 why?? XD
haha i just cried too.
Same here
Cool
So many sexist and disrespectful comments towards these amazing ladies & their culture. Some People weren't raised right.
Do not confuse Kiwi indignity as weakness. When the natives realized exactly what it means to cede "sovereignty" to the crown of London it caused a 30 year war in 1843. A short firefight with "armed police" in 1915 over a "non conceded" Maori village was later seen as potentially the last engagement in that war. If the UK army seriously retained a tactic regarding dug in infantry the Great War could have been easier for them.
"european and spanish" lol like spain isn't in europe. what a stupid comment
Kay Hefner Some people have different opinions. And doing something that was originally meant to be done by men only is something they have taken from our culture, not theirs.
Daniella Etxezuria You could say that about almost every European country, their cultures also extend outside their countries. Irrelevant point.
banter is not bullying banter is part of Aotearoa-New Zealand culture
it pis a seldom part of the Anzac and Maori Toa alike
some of it is trolling but some of it may be banter
Banter brings out happiness and the best in people
Love, love, love the Haka!!! Pure passion, always gives me goosebumps, every time I see it!!!
💜
honestly every time I watch these it makes me cry so much. literally instant emotion and goosebumps . I love it so much.
I am Native American Cherokee and Creek nations. I love the Hakka so much! I get emotional every time I watch. So much respect for keeping customs alive❤️
I'm very sad about what became North america, Money god and animals killing!
Seeing the Haka performed with so much pride and passion makes me cry every time I see it performed. Much love.
This is such a beautiful culture .... sending love from Nigeria ❤️
Every time I watch any haka it makes me cry. I feel their passion through the video and it fills my heart.
After going into the wrong neighbourhood, the brits decide to have tea but then their cups starts shaking fast. hahah

😂
When your ancestors so proud the whole squad channels 'em
This is so ill I thought they were preparing for the match. The fact that they won wow, powerful.
Te Kura Ngata-Aerenga: what a wonderful master of ceremonies and what a fantastic rugby player. I think this is the most beautiful haka I have ever seen. An example of courage and grace.
_I can feel the level of emotion and aggression through my screen, and I am in love._
I’m Aussie but for some reason I get emotional so much passion in it, I love the Haka
I'm a Midwestern American girl and I cry every time. The passion, respect, pride, and togetherness of it is so moving.
I cry every time, too, and just go, "What am I seeing?"
Haka touches me so deeply, I’m almost overwhelmed. I can feel a huge history behind it, I can feel the pride, courage, fear, strength, overcoming, cohesion, growing beyond oneself, willingness, victory and loss… at this concentrated power tears come to me. who knows why…
Love and respect from Mauritius🇲🇺🙏🏼!!
I don’t care how good I was, I would started running full speed back to my car. They didn’t come to play rugby, they came to literally kill
That’s the point of Haka lol, it was originally meant to prevent battles/wars by intimidating the opponent so they would go away

Why do people become scared of this? I really don't kknow. They are just humans with the urge to say some things I don't understand anyways. Since you do not win rugbymatches with tribal dances etc who cares? Where I come from it did not matter a bit. With football we played for one thing: win. Who our opponent was, bigger, stronger, better whatever...We did everything necessary to win. So with some team from New Zealand we would just make kissing gestures to them and laugh during there dance. They wanted to be respected? We would do the exact opposite for sure and this would continue 90 minutes long during the match as well. So scared? No. Win in whatever way needed.
Haka doesn't mean to kill, its showing tribal tradition, if your scared by tribal tradition then dear God how do we win the next war?
@@Emberchariot But he is right. The purpose of Haka dance was to intimidate the enemy before the war. Maori tribe had seen lot of adversities, so one of the men created this to instil courage in the people and fear in the enemy.
theyre energy is literally echoing throughout the whole stadium; WOW THEIR ENERGY ✨⚡️😯👍🏻
makes me feel proud as a fellow polynesian and especially as a female
And proud you should be!
So much passion! And such a great honor for the England team to receive!
Is it weird that this amazing performance made me cry?? Could it be the call of my ancestors? I am moved by Haka.
Er no, you were moved by the emotion it generated in you due to a cultural connection, but call of your ancestors? Dead, gone, dust, oblivion, like everyone who's died. No communication with them I'm afraid.
Definitely made me cry too. I am mesmerized. They are amazing!
Bekuska we Maori believe our Tupuna or Tipuna (depending what part of NZ you come from) Ancestors are around us all the time. Sometimes they let you know they are there and sometimes we talk to them and sometimes, we call to them through Haka, chants and by Karanga. So for someone to say there's nothing and no one there, have no spiritual feelings and connections to the past and the ancestors who have passed. You and anyone who have these feelings are apart of the spirit of this earth and our people. ✌
Kina sandwich Thank you, Kina, for your honest reply ❤ sending love
Bekuska you might like to listen to "Maisey Rika Tangaroa" I hope you do, I think you will enjoy it. 🤗
Age old culture in full display despite the world bragging about embracing modernity..... Absolutely brilliant.
In fact both of the helicopter gunship frigates in the NZ naval battle fleet go by the native names of "Strength" and "Authority". in the language of these chanters. Their support ship for supplies and equipment runs back to shore during battles is being replaced by a ship that will be titled the native name for the region as well.
It is strange how NZ is the only commonwealth nation and ex-british colony that embrace and integrate the local indigenous culture. Australia have some what but very minimal, samething for Canada but they did try and America didn't even try.
+thi tran: Not "strange". Glorious!!!!
Most definitely
Hopefully it lives on
i cried watching this idk why.... its so powerful and beautiful at the same time
That Haka gave me goosebumps! Respect. 🙏
The *HAKA* Gives me chills when I hear them sing.... Amazing Bro Deadly as ayyyy
incredibly powerful, i got goosebumps, Black Ferns you're doing amazing sweeties!
I keep watching these and they make me so emotional
I watched this many Times very powerful
I can't watch haka without crying, especially if it is by women! The energy is so unreal ♡
That is so badass, I got flippin goosebumps over here.
Chills! I really have chills from watching this 👂🏿😍❤️ so much passion
You can see their pride in their faces.. truly moving
okay the first time woman scared me besides my own mother. Wonder Woman would have approved.
*watches with no emotion* I think England got shook
They were in awe.
It’s a respectful way to watch. This should bring fear. To show a smile would be degrading. It should be meet with a straight face of respect and understanding.
@@neversaw why should the opposition stand still and let their bodies cool down and stiff up while NZ get to scream and intimidate and get pumped up? All blacks have massive unfair advantage. Yes somoa and figi do a haka but not as long and aggressive as NZ haka. If I was a international rugby player I wouldn't even watch the NZ haka I'd just carry on warming up and ignore it.
@@neversaw no, it's a challenge of strength. Owen Farrell smirked at NZ's haka from the centre of the V. Both teams respect each other anyway.
They were trying not to laugh
The leader chick is freaking awesome, she's makes the best faces!!
My eyes couldn't open that wide. Respect!
"If i die today, tell my mom i loved her" ~ the other team

Watching a Hakka never ceases to amaze and thrill me. Goose pimples all over.

JustHappy The like button works just as well
Wow
I totally agree with you!
It's like adding salt to the bruise *look at those English faces*🤣
This is pre-match, not after.
This made my eyes water. To see a country that embraces tradition and integrates it within other aspects of their culture is moving.
Looks like a silly Halloween skit dance. The English clicks are way hotter btw
Her eyes at the beginning 😳😳😳 I had shivers all throughout
what a proud culture!
I love the New Zealand team. I'm not even new Zealander, but I love the team's aggressiveness and passion of the haka dance.
Awe inspiring!
A cultural treasure never to be forgotten.
Brilliant! 👏👏👏
Bro the haka is so amazing Ive been watching Videos about this for so long and I they all just look so confident and fierce. :)
Absolutely amazing stuff, these ladies were outstanding. Just one thing though - this was pre-match, not post-match ;)
The haka is ALWAYS pre match, everyone knows that!
@Justice tbh I didn't do anything particularly rude, just put an exclamation mark at the end of a sentence. Didn't use any abusive language, hate speech or slurs. I merely said that practically everyone who knows anything about rugby knows that the haka happens pre match. If anyone got offended by that that's too bad and pity about them, getting offended on people's behalf because they're not knowledgeable is lame, if they want to get in touch to say they were offended I'll happily argue with them but you seem to be peeved because they might not know. Proxy? Vicarious?
0:53 she was gonna break out in tears friends
Me too tbh
Me too, i love the haka dance, but it also scares me
She had a lost a wc game what do you think she was gonna do. Laugh?
So proud that I belong to the Pacific....literal chills...
I’m not a native but whenever I see watch haka I tear up. I get very emotional. Love the culture.
The word native was labeled on people not white, but the word only separates racism, Irish, Scottish, and Norwegians are as much native to there lands as are the Maori, Samoan, African and all indigenous people, We are all one Human race from the one creator. Ancient people all new and understood what they needed to to live upon their lands, stars, seasons seasons all life connections. We are one people
I love how proud New Zealand is of the Maori culture. Completely embraced. 👍🏽
