Maori haka site explaining what 'haka' actually is and what it means, as well as the many different styles of haka. Focussing on Ka mate, the haka performed by the All Blacks, there are a few paragraphs on its origin, a translation of the words, and a brief description of how it relates to rugby. |

New Zealand Maori HakaThe haka is a composition played by many instruments. Hands, feet, legs, body, voice, tongue, and eyes all play their part in blending together to convey in their fullness the challenge, welcome, exultation, defiance or contempt of the words. It is disciplined, yet emotional. More than any other aspect of Maori culture, this complex dance is an expression of the passion, vigour and identity of the race. It is at it's best, truly, a message of the soul expressed by words and posture. |
