The first part is a wero (challenge to see if you come in peace or not), the second part is the Haka Powhiri (a haka for welcoming)

Thanks for this! I was the guest chief at this ceremony last month - boy was it intimidating when the warrior came at me. Do you have a fuller version which includes the earlier part from when he starts his challenge? I was a bit busy to video it.
