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.
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!
