Maoris don't look for recognition as long as our brothers and whanau are safe ka pai. ONWARD

"Did they get any thanks for it ?"

No. Like most soldiers deployed in foreign countries - they were used.

Apparently it only takes people about 30 seconds of combat experience

to realise just how much they were lied to at the recruitment office.

[raystopher]

Why did the Maori,s leave to fight a European war. Did they get any thanks for it?

[hakaboy6924]

it looked like princess te puia at 2:46 although I am sure it couldn't have been such beautiful images of before the tourists came with the cameras into the villages

[MrSuperpeks]

Those dudes are fucking heros...lest we forget. BTW that hangi made my mouth water.

[GILBERHE]

2.46. and 3.46 Our old Kuia....a site to behold how wonderful. Wonderful clip thank you.

[Draqoni]

I remeber the days when everyones piupiu looked different. All the tapestry was different. Looked amazing watching them all move. Now they all look the same. Thanks for uploading this. Its awesome to see.

[ewingsco]

@Draqoni

Thanks for commenting - what is piupiu ?

[Draqoni]

@ewingsco

They are the flax skirts the girls are wearing while they dance from 1:18 on. The tapestry are the bodices. Most kapahaka groups use the same design now, looks so commercial.

[ewingsco]

@Draqoni

ahh thanks Draqoni
