UH needs to be congratulated here for finally adapting a Hawaiian war chant/challenge that better reflects the UH Warriors football team and the Hawaiian culture. The Hawaiian Ha'a looks great and it is just as fierce as the Maori Haka they tried to perform. And with all due respect, UH Warriors performed the Te O Pango really terrible.
Oh yeah....tell that to all the Maori's and people that don't believe Hawaii should be doing the Haka. Which is why, people gotta differentiate between the two.
my friend who happens to be maori says that it's actually humbling for other cultures to be doing the haka. he says it's ridiculous for the maori to find it insulting. so ... there was nothing wrong with doing the haka.
This isn't the Maori Haka but the Hawaiian HA'A!!! Listen real closely and you will hear them speaking in fluent Hawaiian while incorporating some Hawaiian movements.
