OK, i wld understand if the haka was done at the fathers tangi and at ONE of the games but i dnt understand why they have done it at more then one game. Its not like byu is a small country town on the east coast of NZ. Its a American school football team. To do it once in memory for the father is one thing but to claim it for ur american football team is another, even if one of them is maori.
Let me clear this up to any bigots out there. And this is from Wikipedia so its not that hard to be educated. Byu did the haka to commemorate the passing of the father of a player who was maori and was greatly respected there. In Hawaii they develop their own haka called the ha'a which is 100% authentic Hawaiian. Any other team that adopted the haka was probably due to a maori decendent player. So yea educate yourselves
TO TheDuds33.............There are NO full blooded Maori left and yes u do have to be a true kiwi, that being a polly, maroi or pakeha, but a true kiwi to have the heart to do the haka. To us kiwis the haka isnt all abt rugby, its abt our Warriors who fought the English, its abt the strength and determination of our people, its abt our culture and how we have kept it strong. The haka represents the Maori in NZ, not every other person playing fooseball in the states..Pathetic
I dnt understand why a college football team in usa is doing our haka? Noone can do it like a kiwi and its one of the strongest acts of our culture. Shld we do a African war dnace before we play League, or a aboriginal war dance before we play soccer? I find it really weird that any other country wld do our haka, even if there is a maori leading the chant or not. Do they know what its like to be Maori and do they know the history of the Maori? I doubt it...
why dont you do an american indian war dance before your games as they are americas native people instead of a maori haka, which is why new zealand do it cause maoris are our native people
The player leading the Haka was Maori. his grandfather is a chief in the pacific and his father died, and they performed the haka as a sign of remembrance for his father. From there it started to become a tradition for BYU Football up until recently. The BYU Rugby team has their own personal haka they perform composed by one of their coaches
It's amazing to me to see that you have to be a "true" New Zealander to do the Haka. Even though that would mean you'd have to be full Maori, and there are hardly any full Maori left. I mean your nation's flag has the ****in Union Jack flag sitting up in the corner. How's that British blood mixin with the Maori? The Maori and Polynesian BYU students have just as much claim to their ancestry rituals as you euro blooded islanders. Ignorant declaring ignorance. Pathetic.
the haka is a Polynesian culture, NOT only New Zealand . you see the hawaii's college football team do this pre-game haka as well coz they are part of the polynesian.but to be fare, i dont see why BYU would do the haka since they are not related to the polynesian at all.im just saying lol
@haruhide0411 Haha you got no idea. So Hawaii University used to alternate between the Ka Mate and Kapa O Pango and that's fine with you? They're just egotistical ignorant people.

This to me is like stealing a authors book calling it your own but not before you fill it with gramatical errors
Ka Mate haka is specific to Aotearoa and is performed by the All Blacks rugby team for over 100 years with permission from the tribe Ngato Toa tribe whose paramount chief wrote it . Anyone who tells you this belongs to the people of Polynesia is wrong and to perform Ka Mate like this is insulting to us. You plagiarize my culture and bastardize my language.

@superdog1321 both you and chooseit2 are idots! This video is over a year old. BYU has a pretty decent rugby team, I have watched a few of their games on youtube and they would go okay in New Zealand. Not spectacular. But good. Not to mention they have been in the national finals a few times. They can also Haka. BYU rugby can haka better than some of our NZ teams. Thats cause they have been taught well by a Maori. Well done Mr Tarawhiti.
I don't like my culture being plundered but at least these guys put some effort into it. The one by the Trojans is a complete disgrace. I admire the fact that this kid did it to honor his father and hope once he leaves the team they honor the Maori and stop performing it.
ok u eeeeediots putting down those who carry the haka..most of u dumbasses in new zealand r immigrants nd don't evn have a blood line..samoans nd tongans make up tha real bloodlines for all tha polynesian people..maori's came from that bloodline..so piss off all u haterszzz...nd get educated.at least they celebrating it nd not putting it down.
@sam156nz Wahaha!! Your comment to boofah21 is a crack up buddy lolz. About learning to spell before telling people to get educated. Even if it was 3 weeks ago. Churr thumbs up bro.
@sam156nz they do it to honor one of the players fathers who passed away at the time that was of Maori dissent, it is a dance used to intimidate the enemy in a war, it also works well to fire them up
@cardcollector6794 yes but it's New Zealand and Maori culture, none of this has anything to do with a Boston college, who don't even understand the meaning of Ka Mate
i think this is dumb... Only maoris can do this kinda stuff... im sayin this coz im from NZ. wait till u see the maoris do it... ya'll be shittin ur pants...
@audisjikke the number 2 in the vid is part maori, if you listen carefully they are actually pronouncing the words correctly which is a lot more than can be said for most of the other american football teams doing it.
The kaia is a Mahuika from the East Coast and is my Tane's cousin validates his maoridom he was not exposed to the maori culture as much as us Hori's, in my opinion these boys did well for even those brought up in the States and this haka bless his resting soul was dedicated to his late father Michael Mahuika.
Kia kaha whanau we are always thinking of you ! we are planning a trip to Utah in the next few years we will come and visit soon, Arohanui xox Nepia-Smith whanau.
yeah im maori to but i bet if i was to turn up at that stadium and ask them all what the meaning to that haka is i bet they wouldnt have a clue so i think that is down right wrong and its not even done properly and ive never heard of a son of a maori chief arround hear in aotearoa that haka is realy dissapointing...
fuck you guys you cant do the haka for shit im from nz and youre disrespecting our culture if you are going to do it learn it propaly fuckin shit holes
interesting, i`m maori, i love my country very much, but i love american music aswell & your saying that i can`t sing sam cookes "twistin the night away" or play ben harpers diamonds on the inside on my gat, I bet you when you logged off from youtube after posting your comments you were listening to RAP music right! come on Chap get "real" we love americans, we love their music their food and their porn (WHOOPS did i say porn) hell yeah!!!
I have no problems with the americans performing the haka, i think its awesome to see other nations take on our war dance as an appreciation of the POWER it envelops to its performers and those who love seeing it being performed.
@NZTGI no disrespect to you :) but in my opinion..if the americans want to appreciate the power and truly value the haka. they should'nt do it themselves, they should watch maori or kiwi's do it. I jut don't think it's right how people are starting to complain that we do the haka too much, and yet even more people are congratulating the american teams who do it at a game that is purely american...i just dont get it >.<
even though the leader is a kiwi. no disrepect to the kiwi leader but haka is a New Zealand tradition. and should only be for New Zealanders, NOT americans.
me being full maori does not support this one bit and should not be performed in american football only if it is a new zealand team performing the haka.
yes, since you are in charge of a whole culture, you get to decide when and how that culture is expressed. you clearly own it and your word should be law.
but this is no way like that if you do some research into Maori culture and the Haka you will find that the Haka is very special to the Maori people. i no because i am Maori
So many things are special to so many people, and it just might be special for this football team, or why else would they do this before every game? Just because it didn't come from America doesn't mean it can't be done here! Thats idiotic. There's no law against it. And this team is no way trying to steal anything from anyone, let alone make fun of it! All of you who have something negative to say about it are just really ignorant and disrespectful.
i agree with you there bro, what iwi you from (im from Nagi Tahu).... not questioning ur whānau but im pretty sure ur nt a full Maori coz thea none alive today
@MultiTom72 aint that sad aint no more fullblooded maori no hawaiians if you ask me pretty soon tonga tahitian samoan none left. its like the palangis/haoles are like parasites traveling the world clinging to everyone else never do they have their own identity sad
@supalozah1 me To im a Patriotic Kiwi and this was Just an insult to All maoris We own everyone at it And now americans try and do dis Our Main haka for All blacks,Tall Black And Kiwis
@supalozah1 How big is football in New Zealand? You are a disappointment.
New Zealanders don't deserve such a powerful ritual. Things like these belong in the hands of a much more stable being such as Brian Urlacher or Adrian Peterson.
@ChandlerPC new zealand's a country of 4million and has for the majority of the last 20 years been ranked the number one team in the world in rugby (you know rugby? the sport where when they are world champs they actually are. not like there where local comps are named world series). "New Zealanders don't deserve such a powerful ritual. Things like these belong in the hands of a much more stable being such as Brian Urlacher or Adrian Peterson". Stupid comment!
@ChandlerPC we play rugby in New Zealand, that's right, no helmets or pads, and no rests. You american faggots play a gay gridiron, try playing it with no protective gear, then go find you're own culture, you have the indigineous people of your own country, embrace their culture
that maori in the team is my 1st cuzzin and his father is mike mahuika, son of nepia mahuika (cheif of ngati porou) whom sadly both passed away..i support this video 100 percent. ka mau te wehi kyle & bryce...ur wellington cuzzins.
NZ All Blacks Rugby Team preform the Haka to honor the Maori ppl of NZ , it has become a National Icon of NZ and to all New Zealanders
.
The NZ Haka tradition in Rugby goes back as far as 1884 when it was 1st performed Internationally in Australia, then again in 1888-89 in the United Kingdom by The NZ Native Team It was originally intended that only Māori players would be selected, but four non Māori were finally included
All these earlier teams are the forerunners to the NZ All Blacks.
was there an earthquake going on at this time.. wow BYU is a talented team if they can Haka dance that well durring an earthquake... or was the cameraman having his own personal earthquake? Good grief that was hard to watch ... I'm feeling sick now.
If you have a listen properly these guys actually pronounce the words fairly well, compared to the trinity one which is gibberish this one isn't really that bad.
i like looking at americans doing the haka. i just want to go over there and out perform them with my haka. 'tika tonu' i know how to do a proper haka because i am maori.
Screw all of you who think you know who should and shouldn't do the Haka. It gets them pumped, it's tradition, and they do have a lot of polynesians on their team.
I'm Maori, and I'm NOT against the fact that these guys are doing this. But if they want to do it then they really need to learn how to pronounce Maori words and how to perform the Haka PROPERLY! Also it doesn't matter that they have Polynesians in their team, it ain't gonna do jack if they aren't from New Zealand because only a Maori can look Truly Ruthless and Fierce doing the Haka
one of the players on the team is Maori and his father, who passed away not long ago, was the son of Maori chief (I think that is the term?). Anyway, the started this to honor him and his memory.
@natemills wl thn n tht case its sorta alright bt f he was a chief hw come all us MAORI ppl in NZ ddnt here about it koz f he was a chief we would of herd about it n dd the haka 4 him 2 bt we ddnt here??????????????
what do you expect from byu? thats the way it is down there. whats with #2-the white boy in the beginning walking around with his tongue hanging out of his mouth? This place never ceases to amaze me at what they try to do
Why don't you all do some war chant of the navajo? This haka is Polynesian it's from the Maori haka and whites and all who consider themselves kiwi or NZ'er are welcome to it and perform it not for show but because we are proud to be kiwi and it's to issue a challenge not done for you yanks entertainment!
I know the past cougar capt was of maori origin but still....what a disgrace, if you can't do something that belongs to others well then y even bother doing it for all to see!!!
Why do white guys from New Zealand do it? They have nothing to do with Polynesian culture. Also, BYU is in UTAH but they recruit a lot of players from Hawaii. You know...Polynesians.
And the reason they are doing it to the crowd is because the liberal academics who govern our sports are pansies and can't stand the thought of taunting your opponent. So our football players can't even wave bye-bye to the defender he is outrunning. It gets a 15 yard penalty.
Domaniking is right that is a disgrace. Every man and his dog is doing the haka in the usa. Joey48111 your country only went to one world war N.Z went to two remember that!!!!
i happen to be married to a fine maori woman.i live in detroit.remember if it wasnt for us glory hunting dickheads you would be speaking either japenese or german right now...remember that!!!
ha ha dude are you actually fuckin serious!!! you joined the fuckin war late and if it wast for the brits letting you use our fuckin beaches then d-day would of fucked you, and actually cock end hitler ended fighting a war on 2 fronts which screwed him over, oh and lets not even mention pearl harbour too relaxed again you guys were and looked what happened
so after pearl harbor we took over some atomic bombs in this air plane called the enola gay.... you know why it was named that?? cuz we wanted them to know they would get boned in the ass. and anytime america comes into a war thats usually when it ends because america rocks
twistedbone12 Fuck Off there is a difference between Popular and Professional, as Long as your Arse hole points downward you will never be professional
this is disgraceful! half the team didn't even look like they could hold a squatting stance for that long! this is just sad and is shameful compared to the All Blacks' beautiful Haka!
i hate the way these funking american college's try to do our haka which is part of the culture of NZ (Aotearoa) and try to say the are honouring us in their performances....shit no sherlock! this drivel is crap crap crap...looks like they don't even no what the funk they are saying....cause it sounds like blurred Te Reo Maori.....pack of wankers.....DO IT RIGHT OR DON'T DO IT AT ALL CLOWNS!!!!
They are honoring a fallen tribal leader whos son is on the football team. Sure it isnt good, but show a bit of respect and don't just run your mouth if you dont know everything.
Haka or WAR DANCE started in the south pacific, you NZ arent the first to have this type of war dance. It started out in samoa, tonga, also. We have lots of polys in america who play college football so thats why they do it beacause of all the polys, mostly samoans and tongans representin the polynesian warrior spirit. You should be proud. You New Zealands are not the first ones with the war dance. You guys just made it popular thats all!
No were not the first to have a war dance. But they are doing the Maori dance not just any war dance. There would be no problem if they made their own up. Anyway this one is way better than the trojans one on youtube. Why don't they a hawaiin or american indian dance instead of stealing ours which is what they are doing
Yeah..a bit disrespectful really but they mean well..at least they did it better than the trojans. I wouldn't bo too harsh..they don't understand our culture and probably thing they are paying us New Zealanders a compliment. My advice to them is just dont do it anymore...so tey realise that by doing that they are literally placing a curse on their own heads....They are not from New Zealand...they dont have the mana and the right to do that..the ancestors are angry with them...they need to stop
Don't speak when you don't know what the heck your talking about. The person leading the haka is a son of a tribal leader who died. He would of been the leader as well had he not moved to america. Its in honor of the dead father. Don't run your mouth if you are just going to speculate.
what the f...? what a load of bullshit. This is insulting! No mana in their pathetic immitation of the haka. I watched a group of 50x 10 year olds last week at a performance and these bunch of pussies got small dicks and mana in comparison! Pittiful, absolutely pitiful!!
this is just sad and not b'coz it is done by americans either, it wouldnt b so bad if they understood what the haka meant and took pride in doing it properley.
I respect what they were trying to do but the haka has to be done in a respectful way which harnesses its mana and authority.

-my point is they come from the same line but the Hawaii chant is a different style to the haka.

Not to mention they have been in the national finals a few times. They can also Haka. BYU rugby can haka better than some of our NZ teams. Thats cause they have been taught well by a Maori. Well done Mr Tarawhiti.

The kaia is a Mahuika from the East Coast and is my Tane's cousin validates his maoridom he was not exposed to the maori culture as much as us Hori's, in my opinion these boys did well for even those brought up in the States and this haka bless his resting soul was dedicated to his late father Michael Mahuika.

@NZTGI no disrespect to you :) but in my opinion..if the americans want to appreciate the power and truly value the haka. they should'nt do it themselves, they should watch maori or kiwi's do it.

And this team is no way trying to steal anything from anyone, let alone make fun of it! All of you who have something negative to say about it are just really ignorant and disrespectful.

NZ All Blacks Rugby Team preform the Haka to honor the Maori ppl of NZ , it has become a National Icon of NZ and to all New Zealanders
.
The NZ Haka tradition in Rugby goes back as far as 1884 when it was 1st performed Internationally in Australia, then again in 1888-89 in the United Kingdom by The NZ Native Team It was originally intended that only Māori players would be selected, but four non Māori were finally included
All these earlier teams are the forerunners to the NZ All Blacks.

Why do white guys from New Zealand do it? They have nothing to do with Polynesian culture. Also, BYU is in UTAH but they recruit a lot of players from Hawaii. You know...Polynesians.
And the reason they are doing it to the crowd is because the liberal academics who govern our sports are pansies and can't stand the thought of taunting your opponent. So our football players can't even wave bye-bye to the defender he is outrunning. It gets a 15 yard penalty.

Haka or WAR DANCE started in the south pacific, you NZ arent the first to have this type of war dance. It started out in samoa, tonga, also. We have lots of polys in america who play college football so thats why they do it beacause of all the polys, mostly samoans and tongans representin the polynesian warrior spirit. You should be proud. You New Zealands are not the first ones with the war dance. You guys just made it popular thats all!

No were not the first to have a war dance. But they are doing the Maori dance not just any war dance. There would be no problem if they made their own up.

Don't speak when you don't know what the heck your talking about. The person leading the haka is a son of a tribal leader who died. He would of been the leader as well had he not moved to america. Its in honor of the dead father. Don't run your mouth if you are just going to speculate.
