New Zealand - Maori Culture, Traditions & History

[barbenH]

What a load of crap , maori are treated with prejudism and scorn. There is no equality, White New Zealanders see Maori as less than themselves,drunks , thieves.This is the reality in New Zealand,White New Zealanders protest against racism in South Africa , yet they are no better themselves.

[akira543]

@barbenH Yeah, probably why some of them head off to Oz.

[KingiRui]

@narcotect so much disinformation on youtube smh. NZ was uninhabited when discovered by Maori. Maori weren't known as "Maori" then as everything was all tribal. The Moriori are from the Chatham Islands and there are some still left, although they were decimated by Maori. Cannibalism only sometimes occurred. Not as food source but after battle to really humiliate the enemy and to take their "Mana" (power) from them (eg consuming part of a Chief). Anyway least ur not racist like these other idiots

[tatugirl676]

ewwwwwww omg they r ewwwwwwwwww. english should of got rid of them all! ewww

[gatheringleaves]

@tatugirl676

What the hell is wrong with you!

[gladeye2]

@gatheringleaves makutu bro i think shes been stealing from the urupa

[akira543]

@tatugirl676 Oh yeah? Go fuck yourself you ignorant dickweed!

[narcotect]

@Handsomeman791 - i would so love to go, may have to pencil that one in. Im still pretty skeptical though about theories of how the civilisations perished... still believe the spread of chrisianity had something to do with it.. im happy if you point out where I can read some more on the topic, always keen to hear a few different theories..

[tmakirere1968]

The Moriori People from the Chatham Islands are still alive and well, considering colonisation and tribal warfare. Most of you who have posted comments under this video need to be better educated.

[matmatician7]

I love dancing Maori and playing the stick game!

[hawaiian96chence]

wow i love da maori becuz they're so much like us hawaiians nd they're our cuzzins from across da sea...im hawaiian nd have native american blood

[Finestwahineful]

can't we all just get along.... We all need to embrace New Zealand as one. Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand and I think many people in NZ would agree to that. All different cultures from different places come to NZ because it's a beautiful place... and also to see the traditional Maori culture as the culture interests them, they don't want to hear the violent history from the invasions into NZ.. come on! we're all one from NZ.

[narcotect]

love how he says they ´discovered the islands´ mainstream journalism is so full of shit. he has managed toavoid what we all know, that they didnt discover the islands, they invaded, conquered and ate the original indigenous peoplesof the islands.yes..they were cannibal warriors fromTonga or Samoa (i forget )and they murdered, pillaged, raped.and dined on the flesh of its people. thats why you NEVER fight a Maori. he´ll eat you for breakfast.. having said that, its history, I have maori mates.

[TheCelticmaori]

@narcotect nz was uninhabited before the maoris landed, yes we do share heritage with samoa and tonga and other polynesians but we have established a different language n way of life to other polynesians. the moioriori people lived on the cheltnham islandsthe moiorioris were tribes that came from the maoris, maoris didnt actively invade n colonised nz, the maoris were not one united force, there were tribal disputes which lead to the demise of the moiorioris.

[narcotect]

@TheCelticmaori - yes the Moiorioris were the ones I thought were destroyed. Imagined it was something like that. a series of tribal wars. kind of like the Mayans in the sense that we think of them all as one civilisation who perished together at once, when in reality there were many civilizations who also fought many wars, thanks for your message, might do some reading. interesting history next door we should learn about. but we Aussies are not even educated about our own indigenous history.

[pikiwiks]

yea boi tangata whenua all day oww maori people are solid all off them fuck come to aotearoa bro fuck oww people are natural born warriors proud to be maori and to you white poewr mother F**KERS EATSHIT I WILL KILL YOUS ALL WITH MY PEOPLE BEHIND ME AAUUEE HAA.

[m100p]

@pikiwiks If white people are so peaceful then why do the enter foreign lands and try to take over and conquer other peoples lands with brute force. White people have no culture. There only culture is rape , war, and anything done with malice. Right on to the Maori people!

[ddk248]

@m100p true that....because maoris dont rape.dont do war.and dont shake babies to death.or place them in dryers.or hang them in the clothes line.or starve them.or shoot them....

since this is a tourism video.and we want foreigners to come visit OUR land..lets clarify a couple of things..the maori people.are great people!.very creative.theyv found new ways to use their children...to benefit the nz economy...theyr in charge of the crimes.so that we can maintain our safe, clean and green image....

[CarlosMacMartin]

Yes,7/8 or about 87.5%. I am person of mixed blood heritage: Mexican,Hispanic,and

Native American.

[eloteflament]

hey, I'm doing a project in the Maori culture and I'm tryng to find some key elements that reperesent them before and today. Some specific information about their cultural values. A brave details about the civilisation.

[whitepridenz]

white power is here to stay weather you like it or not.!!

[MrHaviknz]

@whitepridenz your a softcock 

[Morallnvaslon]

@whitepridenz , give me your gay white power and open your mouth because I'm going to give you a litre of my warm creme brother!

[NateetaN0707]

What a load of shit, they're all to busy at the fucking pub!!!!

[HaHaFunnyShi]

@NateetaN0707 or at your mums adding sum culture to her pussy

[HoundofOdin]

The Maori are a fascinating people.

[Infinityxox]

he Maori people are so strong in there cultural traditions a magnificent work of god!....... they are so lucky they can connect with there land, ancestry , the tribes are just like a big loving family just great people funny, supportive, and will give the last t.shirt off there backs happily to help someone else.... Just the Greatest people over all do not be deceived by what they look like people =D

[Epochofbelief]

Anyone who has no knowledge of Maoris, listen to one who has plenty. They are the most foul, violent, unfriendly people you would ever care to meet. The romantic images portrayed in videos like this are completely false. They account for 15% of the population and 51% of prison inmates, they have the highest rate of child abuse and murder in the world and are 10 times more likely to commit violent crime than any other ethnic group.

[das0nz]

You need help and would not be welcome to my tribal area with that attitude. Be strong, Kia kaha!

[imwithdoughboy]

@Epochofbelief thank you thank you, thank you for noticing.

[iiLaala13]

@Epochofbelief

And theres not even THAT much maoris in the world...mainly just in new zealand

and austrailia and still thats only a little bit of freaking people.Its not like all

the worst murderers in america are all maori people FUCK! they dont have the highest rate of murder fuckn hell..how do you know all this? NZ is the best place to grow up apart from leaving your kids in the car and shit but still..theres worse people..lol

[ConqueringWarrior]

dear diary

i am so ashamed of myself. today a 6yr old little maori girl smiled at me and i shit my incontinence diapers. i am in AWE of the MIGHTY maori race and i secretly wish to belong to their WARRIOR culture, but because i was cursed to the pasty heritage that i am, i vow to my ALLAH to make it my life's mission to BE the keyboard warrior on youtube and leave messages of hate about them. i am so fucking jealous. - all my love, EPOCHOFBELIEF.

[Epochofbelief]

@ConqueringWarrior Shouldn't that be "ConqueredWarrior"? Like most part Maoris you confuse culture with ritual. Culture is the clothes you wear, not the bone carving around your neck. It is the language you're using in this forum and the house you live in, not the occasional visit to the pa. Maori culture is expressed today only in rituals and stomping your feet in the dust and making animal noises is the closest you will ever get to an extinct, neolithic and backward culture.

[ConqueringWarrior]

@Epochofbelief

it IS conquering; as in conquering those white girls into submission with my big cock. they love it.  ask your wife.

[Morallnvaslon]

@ConqueringWarrior You are right. My anglo saxon race is the gayest in the world and I want to come over and conquer your pretty asshole with my soft,cold white cock.

[FQuee]

@Morallnvaslon

Waoh still stirring shit haha

[Alex462047]

@ConqueringWarrior And that is about as intelligent as you get. See how you go when we discuss whipping your cute Maori girls into submission with our big cocks. You wouldn't like it one bit, you sado-masochistic over-sexed Hori. Learn how to respect other people. I actually felt respect for the Maori as a people while I grew up in New Zealand, but now I feel that you just expect us to roll over to have our tummies rubbed. Some of us are not a soft touch.

[Alex462047]

@ConqueringWarrior We are of the old school, where men are strong, yet wise, and they respect each other, whatever the colour of their skin. It is time that this was learnt again on all sides and we stopped insulting each other just for the sake thereof.

[Epochofbelief]

@ConqueringWarrior The savage and brutal memory of a culture and perhaps a longing to return to the ancient practice of cannibalism and infanticide is possibly what drives you to torture and kill those members of society unable to defend themselves. But then I'm only guessing and as a serial kid basher/killer, you may have a better insight.

[DisturbedsPeasant]

@Epochofbelief Im Maori and Im not like that and hi :D

[korniah]

Hey I agree im maori and alot of them are angry, meanish, staunch en violent people. My people comit alota crimes maybe most.....aint proud of dat but there are good kind ones.

[07bboyjoe]

Does anyone know if the Maori had metal tools? (Before whites arrived)

[beaudaman1980]

intimadition is the barking an stuff you call maori traditions still carry on but at the end of the day we all drive cars and wear pants and play on computers too not be proud of your heritage is just wrong

[iiLaala13]

@beaudaman1980

hahah we wear pants xD LOL

[Epochofbelief]

Kid bashers, thieves and dole bludgers.

[iiLaala13]

@Epochofbelief

ugh theres no theives,kid bashers and dole bludgers

bad name on our country thats ok if yu wanna go sit at a fukn tea party.!

[GILBERHE]

@Epochofbelief HOMO

[Buggerlugz000]

Was picked on by maori because of my colour. Truth was, the sun & sea coloured me but turned me hair white & well, the blue eyes were a dead giveaway ! Had a bloke who covered me back by the name of Lee Maihi. We were in the same socio- economic group- fucking scraping to make ends meet. We would go fishing, eat oysters off the rocks, make billy carts from parts found at the dump & do what kids do to have fun. Something happened when Lee, Tane & his family moved away- we lost what we had.......

[fergusnow]

wtf

[GuamKomudo]

Dude... Thats deep man...

[TrueGreatness73]

I hate how they make the culture seem cave man'ish.. They dont walk & bark like dogs.. We are intelligent human beings with scary brave'ness"

[SaphireKnight87]

...Wow.. Guam and xamehc, I'm glad you 2 are getting along so well in this conversation! lol

[CarlosMacMartin]

Interesting culture indeed! I love the way the women chant.I don't understand what they are

saying,but I know it's powerful.Much love to all

Island People from this Native American Indian.

Peace,Love,and many blessings!

[imwithdoughboy]

[javaq8]

@imwithdoughboy

[When1984]

@CarlosMacMartin this are not native indian people

why people are putting other cultures in caves?

[DisturbedsPeasant]

@CarlosMacMartin Are you native american?

[GuamKomudo]

Dude... You didnt teach anything, you just showed some guy swinging a weapon and a lady singing... I wanna know why they make that "UHH" noise, everytime I look up Moari, they have some guy doing that, what is that???

[xamehc]

Guy... for you to ask such questions & at the same time claim to have an interest in martial arts, oh my God!?! Good luck in finding a sensei that will take you on.... he'd have to possess extraordinary patience!!

Here's a heads up for ya(just to get you started)... it's not the shape of the sound that's important but its function.

Now......

Go forth grass-hopper...

use da Buddha-palm technique!!

HOIYAH!!!!

[GuamKomudo]

I still dont know what your talking about, like a breathing excersise like in Karate?

It just seems weird looking and sounding lol But I guess your right, it dosent look that normal when Japanese people do it either, im just use to it lol

[xamehc]

ok Guam.

when u hurt yourself u scream or make a noise.... naturally.

I don't have the patience to explain the rest. I'm sure if you really want to know, you will find out.

good luck

[GuamKomudo]

Ok well thats nice of you, you really didnt tell me anything accept you have no pateince for people that dont know things... Dont be a teacher...

[xamehc]

it's clear u only ask to satisfy curiosity & not to understand.

what u don't understand is that firstly in any endeavor u undertake u must be a WILLING STUDENT before any 'teaching' can be done. It's not my fault u refuse to use your intellect & want to be spoon fed like a baby with all the answers when the they are so obvious & in plain sight & THIS is what I don't have the patience for.......... people who want answers but lack the determination to figure easy things out for themselves

[GuamKomudo]

Damn Gahndi... All I did was ask a simple question, and all I got was, "Wow you DONT know!?! What a looser omg!!!" Dang... If you asked me a question about Karate, id tell you the answer without freakin out... I actually happend to look at tons of Maori videos and websites, all I can find is Haka, Haka is awesome, yay Haka, everybody loves HAKA! But no one tells you WHAT a Haka is. SORRY FOR WONDERING!!!! If you dont want to tell me, no ones making you.

[xamehc]

NOW YOU'VE LOST YOURSELF.

U didn't ask to know about HAKA, all u wanted was to know why they make that UHH noise!!! Take another look at YOUR previous statement.

The answer is universally in most martial arts & techniques. If u had half a brain you'd realize that without having to ask... & now u wanna flip the story & ask about HAKA. That I can help u with.. but again... u didn't originally ask about HAKA

FACTS FIRST

'THINK' BEFORE RUNNING YR MOUTH

thatz how u got in trouble in the 1st place!

[GuamKomudo]

I was never in truble, I just had some crazy jerk go off on me for no reason other then hes rude... You could have easily answerd my question, but instead you go into this whole random "You dont really want to know, deep in your heart theres darkness and blah blah" btw people in Karate dont say Heeya, we just scream however you want, its part of fighting. Im sorry someone stomping their foot and going HUU randomly looked different for me. Sorry not everyone know as much you almighty one...

[xamehc]

hooray!!! congradulations!!! u just answered your own question, unfortunately your too dumb to know it. finally, you're making some ground, but if i may say so.....

You don't really want to know, deep in your heart there's darkness...

hehehe bwaah hahahaaa!!

[GuamKomudo]

Yeah, your so cool. I almost wanted to visit New Zealand and thought Maoris were almost cool till I met two on this stupid video... You guys are jerks, why would anyone want to watch your culture??? Your all mean =(

[imwithdoughboy]

@GuamKomudo o come on now, were not all that bad.

[javaq8]

@imwithdoughboy

Stop sending me naked pictures of you doing gay stuffs I'm not gay and i'm not interested you are DISGUSTING!

Damn you faggots

[iiLaala13]

@GuamKomudo Who was mean? what? maoris?? WE ARE GOOD PEOPLE

lol =] yeah some people are real ass holes but im sure everyone knows some mean person that is the same culture as them.=] There are many kind people

everyone is different.I love my country,new zealand =] You should visit one day!

PLEASE? =D haha lol

[xamehc]

ok since you offered, I now have a question for you.

In Karate why do they make that 'HEEYA!!' noise??

(u do realize that by answering this u would have inadvertently stumbled on the answer u asked about the Maori 'UHH' noise)

I truly hope u see the logic in this.....

if not.... oh well ;-)

[cesar630]

reminded me of how the aztecs use the conch as horns as well. most all indigenous cultures of the world have similar experiences

[dynasue77]

I'm a Aussie who has been across the Tasman. Their's is a very vibrant and interesting culture for sure.
