ain't no such thing as "real haka"... This vid is just a Maori haka. Every group of islands in the pacific got their Haka, marquesas, hawaiian, tahitian, mangarevian... and so on. The maori one was just popularized by Rugby teams and people tend to think that it's "the Real Haka", whereas it's just 1 version of a cultural trait shared by the whole pacific people. By the way, N.Z. was the last island to be peopled by the polynesians, so maybe we should look elsewhere to find "the real thing"...
@kjin7 Tongans have their Kailao, Samoans have Manu Samoa Siva Tau but the various haka performed throughout Aotearoa are the most impressive...of course I'm biased being a Kiwi. This is the version made popular by The All Blacks for Rugby and I have no idea why they're doing it in Tahiti.
Guys this is the ka mate haka there are other moarie haka's
