the word maori was coined by maori to distnguish themselves as the original people of aotearoa, the settlers term for the maori were aborigines and natives so in my view maori (a term which i use for myself along with nga puhi/kai tahu) is a word of solidarity.

actually its nz maori war dance and yes every south pacific have different haka iv seen them all

The Samoan war dance is called the SIVA TAU (siva=dance, tau=war). The HAKA is the war dance performed by the Maori.

HAKA=is maori for war dance....Samoa....Hawaii....To­nga...Nuie..Fiji...plus other polynesian groups have their own war dances similar to the haka but not called haka...or better still look up on the net and check it out yourself...too you all become familiar where the name HAKA originates from...

a wise old man told me kapa o pango was to to describe ourselves as like an erupting volcano, yeah all goods that there learning the haka but please just out of respect know where its from and how to do it properly, and out ov respect for our other maoris out there kicking up a shitty, understand these people only know what thev been taught hav a go at the thick fuck who taught them not the players themselves

@hazza3 - uh... actually some tribal dialects, like my own, did have certain phonetics that sounded the 'L' regularly. Also the 'S' was used a lot in song form & in South Islands Rabuvai Tribes. & there was an elite class of tohunga who conversed with other tohunga in a tongue not locally known, even to the leading chief, of which there was a whole range of sounds that would, to today's maori ear, sound like jibberish.

@808statehawaiian This is old but.

Maori language has no L's or S's in them. Samoan, Tongan and Hawaiian does.

Haka is a Maori term, not a Polynesian term. You cant say that Japanese are the same as Indians.

Or that the French are the same as the Irish.

A bit racist, but the old Maori used to call other Polynesians, Half Breeds because the were related, just not as smart as Maori were.

Old Maori's considered themselves separate from Islanders.

[UHtiger]

Didn't you notice though, there pretty much claiming it as Samoan. The reporter called it a polynesian dance and there quarter back said he'd learnt all the Samoan words.

Kia ora, I'm maori and well I gotta say I'm stoked to see that people are embracing our culture. What's even more impressive is it's on American TV.

People are curious as to where this dance originates, if they want to know more they know where to look. It's always good to raise Maori awareness.

YOU ROCK BOYS!
