What is right is always right! Indeed! What is right is always right! Ah yes! Be true to yourself, my son! My concerns have been raised about you, so pay attention! What is this problem you are carrying? How long have you been carrying it for? Have you got that? Right, let's go on. So son, although it may be difficult for you and son, although it seems to be unyielding no matter how long you reflect on it the answer to the problem is here inside you. Indeed! Indeed! Indeed! Yes, indeed!

@GoComando2 They lived in a "savage" time. They had to fight for food, territory, and survival. The Haka aren't just for war- they're often for entertainment, welcoming an honored guest, or an acknowledgement to achievements. This particular haka, as you've pointed out, is for war. They're invoking the god of war to frighten their enemies.

@GoComando2 If you weren't so uneducated that would almost be funny, not every Haka is about killing and war, the word Haka itself is a generic term for dance, some were about good mantra and passing down tips on how to lead a happy and fulfilling life down to younger generations - these mantra were not just limited to Waiata. Yes many were geared toward war but it would be stupid to assume all of them were, as for Hawaiians being strictly peaceful, they had battle cries too. Maui?

@GoComando2 If I were that ignorant, I'd keep my mouth shut instead of letting the whole world know.

[GoComando2]

The idea of would be a nice cultural reperentetive if they wasnt any anger or fighting sign in it.Like Hawaiians dancing but these savages say nothing but about killing,fighting and anger!
