@RenegadeLulu I've read the its mostly men if the women were involed its for background singing but there is an all women one called Ngāti Porou haka "Ka Panapana". You can google Haka to learn more.
Ok, I'll admit that I'm not a huge rugby fan and I'm more of a footy girl (AFL) but I always watch the Aus VS NZ just to watch the Haka..n as much as I love Aus, I always go for All Blacks...just sayin'

Thanks for this post. It really helps one hear the correct annunciation of the words. (Its kind of hard to make it out when it is the whole all Blacks squad in front of 80,000 screaming fans......through the tv)....but still sounds damn good
we are very proud people.....this is an anchient haka that needs to be respected and when it is performed, it should be done with a great presence by the performer and especially by the kaea (leader).
The words of the Ka Mater are as follows: Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora! Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora! Tenei te tangata puhuru huru Nana nei i tiki mai Whakawhiti te ra A upa ne! ka upa ne! A upane kaupane whiti te ra! Hi! I die! I die! I live! I live! I die! I die! I live! I live! This is the hairy man Who fetched the Sun And caused it to shine again One upward step! Another upward step! An upward step, another the Sun shines!
I dunno much bout NZ traditions, but could anyone tell me if they do the Haka only in rugby or they do it also in other sports? I mean, for example, would they do it also in an international football, cricket or basketball match?? I cant imagine New Zealand's national football team doing the Haka before a qualify match for the FIFA World Cup against Australia or whoever. I dont think FIFA would allow it, but would b so cool to c the Haka against Brazil, Italy, Argentina, Spain, France, England
basketball, hockey, rugby, as far as i know. tall blacks for basketball, ice blacks for hockey. but trust me, u'll just laugh ur ass off watching the other ones. stick with the rugby team for best haka.
im not entirely sure how this one goes but the ALL BLACKS is somethin lyk this: I die, I die! I live, I live! I die, I die! I live, I live! This is the hairy man The fierce powerful man Who fetched the sun And caused it to shine again One Upward Step! Another Upward Step! One last Upward Step! And Step Forth! The Sun shines!
YES! thats exactly it!i learned it at school and have desperately tried to remember the meaning of the words, i could remember i live, i live, i die i die, this is the hairy man but nothing else. its so fascinating to watch!!!
hi i am the 8th generation descendant of Te Rauparaha the man who wrote this haka and it actually has a song version aswell same words and all but this was written to tell a storie of his survival in a little village around lake rotoaira not far from the mountin called Tongariro (Ngati Toa)
holy hell..lol......every time I hear this shit I start to feel like beatin somebody up or smashin somethin........this shit rocks the hell outta me...lol
that's the purpose of the haka, to build up frenzy before a battle. Imagine being the enemy and seeing/hearing the maori do that before they launch towards you at the size they are.
Actually, you're wrong. Women can do the haka. The haka is not a war dance, it's just a traditional dance used for many different purposes - celebrations, war and prayer. Because many people only see the Ka Mate version of the Haka, they only see A) Men doing it only (because it's a men's rugby team) and B) this version of it only, which is used as a form of intimidation.
this is a real rough translation but here goes "i live i live I could have died i could have died these hairy men chased me across the land but I defeated them under the watch of the god of the sun hi" legend has it that te rauparaha cheif of ngati raukawa ist did it after emerging from a hangi pit having outran a warring tribe.
Look i'm Aussie but i know a few things about the Haka. Look the Haka is a Maori tradition that the tribesmen in New Zealand did to tempt the enemy into combat. Look Euro girl21 it's tradition for the men to do it only because they've done it like for generations.and they think it's disrespectful if a girl or woman does it. So it's just their culture's view on it and i respect that. The Haka is only for Men of Maori descent or Pakia's in sporting teams only nothing else.
two things. firstly, you are wrong, there are many different versions of the haka, and some are performed exclusively by women, such as "Ka Panapana". secondly, stop using the word look at the start of every sentence
Your not Aussie because if you were you wouldnt get all that rubbsih wroung, would you?
Its a tribal dance that men AND women do. they use it in RUGBY to INTIMMIDATE their components.
My Aunty used to live in new zealand where she met a maori and they moved back to england together. so dont fink that by sayin ur aussie and saying all that RUBBISH about the haka makes people belive you.
[BTW, my uncle has taught me about the haka so thats why i know all of this OK??]
girls can do it that guy above me dragons4eva and the one who said its tradition don't know wat their talking about im samoan but i know about all the polynesian cultures and usually the women or girls do it with the men but except for that haka the ka mate is the mens
Re: kingdaniel's comment. Sure there has been LOTS of bad stuff in our history, but one of the MANY great things about our country is that we are working through issues of the past. In fact the way we have promoted and encouraged our indigenous culture, has pretty much establish us as the benchmark as the way to move forward and has been picked up by the indigenous people's North America. So all in all, spitting on people isn't the way forward, it's about working together to right the wrongs.
Um. Thats a bit harsh. Those things happened in the past. I KNOW that it was terrible & i KNOW that whites can never, ever say sorry enough. But everyone needs to move on. Really. What do you expect whites to do about it now? Its not like they personally did it. We cant pay for our ancestors mistakes forever...
Its people like you who are making it hard for different races to get along. Im not picking a fight. Im just saying. Move on..
It ist real incredible! I don´t like rugby eather, but with this HAKA it sems to be the most beautiful sport at all!!!!! I love that Haka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
