Pre-game warmups like you've never seen before, as demonstrated by a high school football team in American Samoa!

  • The haka is truly Maori owned. But we samoans have always had a "war" dance. So you non samoans need not speak of what you don't have knowledge of. Polynesians are very similar in many ways. Dances like the taualuga or the haka is something that our cultures are not ashamed to share and do not take offensively when shared amongst our own Polynesian people. We are people with pride of who we are respectfully and humbly. Thanks to 60 minutes and LOVE to my people back home! Samoa le'i galo atu!

  • The American Samoa's are the absolute greatest part of America. Ever.

    Samoan == Instant Bad ass mother F*cker.

  • I am loving these dances. They just pump you up!

  • Tongi a tongi a tongi e.....EEEE a tongi e! YESSSS!

  • Samoan Slap Dances always amaze me :)

  • something ive noticed about samoans or tongans specifically is that they are either muscular or just a big guy i never seen a tweener lol..i played high school football and college football with them so i personally know this..ive always liked there war dance though that shit tight

  • Haka is Maori.

  • @miminini28 all i have to say is: it's one of the coolest, most intriguing things i've ever seen. i can spend hours watching samoan war dances, because quite honestly, it would scare the holy hell out of me if i was right in front of them.

  • There's no smiling in Haka! It's a war dance

  • @gunste1n I don't like that these people are claiming the Haka to be there own, but I think it's fine if Americans do the Haka, they are giving tribute to the Maori people. I also think these people suck at it. If they were good at the Haka and respected it's origin I would respect them for understanding the Haka and it's place in Maori culture. Americans may be stereotyped as stupid and uneducated (and some of us are), but in reality the uneducated are the people who stereotype us.
