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.

The Haka gives me goosebumps man. Never seen a tradition done with so much love and passion

[johndockney]

So nice to see the crowd remaining silent and showing respect to one of the great traditions of New Zealand rugby

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!

I've become obsessed with watching all the HAKA's!!

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.

The captain instilled a deep fear within me. I have the feeling she could kill me through glares alone

Other team: "...we're in the wrong neighborhood."

Him: she probably cheating on me.
Her and the girls:

Tiger : ...m-meow?

I think the respect NZ pays to their Maori traditions is brilliant.

[NotInformedOfficial]

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

1:07 Imagine you having troubles in high schools with some bullies and your aunt shows up with of her friends to solve the problem.

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.

This is the first Haka from Women that i saw, and they are actually amazing

[analuiza]

it's my first time seeing women's haka and i love how it's just as powerful even though it's very different

If the sentence “ you’re dead” was translated into a dance
