That crowd got to experience something they don't realize how grateful they are. I would love to experience a Haka and Siva Tau in person
When I went to New Zealand a few years ago I was taught how to do the haka and I actually got to join in. You feel invincible, like your tapping into something primal
@@connormitchell6446 that had to be an amazing experience. I know one day I want to learn one and take part of it as well.
Connor Mitchell bro that must’ve been awesome, wish I was there
It's not that fucken Siva tau
Muliaga Tilialp relaaaaax he was just saying kio🤦🏾♀️
Dude I almost cried at how badass his daughter looked, him raising his children to appreciate and love their culture is amazing 🥰
I was going to say the same. Obviously they're extremely proud of their culture and roots.
Which ones the daughter
@@90sbaby1 she's at his left at 1:26. Her brother is in front of her :)
That was a boy
they’re maori?
I smiled so much when I noticed his kids were there doing the Haka. I know they're very involved in their culture, but seeing how they have been doing it since very little and in such a public stage is so heartwarming. Such a rich and intricate culture and it's always a privilege when they share a bit with us. I am glad Haka has been getting international recognition in the past years. Another highlight for me was the guy in the hat in the background at 1:32 who I imagine couldn't perform the dance for some reason but was chanting along with them with all his heart. The sense of community and togetherness the haka gives was definitely present.
He isn't Maori though... Its not his heritage. Is his wife Maori?
What ??? Hes not Maori! Hes german with a tiny bit of Hawaiian! . This is cringe asf
This is my culture and this is cringe to watch !
@@trotgun1563dont be too hard on him - he had Jake the Muss in the background backing him up.
The Polynesian people do this as well. Where do you think the Māoris came from?
As an Indigenous American, it always brings tears to my eyes when I see the Haka.
Is amazingly beautiful last time that i saw it was yesterday All black vs Argentina, amazing 😍
I feel like if you don't enjoy haka or other indigenous dances you just don't have a soul. Haka itself gives you second hand Maori pride.
Wow great you're indigenous American. I found very few of you all. By the way why don't you preserve your language, culture, tradition just like these ? F#ck the white racist Britishers colonialists.
It brought many tears to the eyes of the Moriori women and children who were subsequently tortured to death. Its war fetishisation, even if it looks cool and cultural etc.
@@user-pk8po6rb4x literally the entire world does war fetishism. You're not cool or edgy for being contrarian. Let people have the things they enjoy and go cope in the corner. Your opinion will be respected when you actually have a name instead of "user" and a bunch of numbers.
He made a moment not only for his son, but his daughter to be a part of their culture; their bloodline, their heritage. I cry every time I see this
Their Culture? are they born in New Zealand? This is a Maori Haka, not the Samoan Siva Tau
@@williamhawkes7437 From what I've heard, his family has been in Hawaii for 9 generations but his roots are originally from New Zealand.
@@shikhov.yurkovich nope …Momoa was born in 1979 in Nānākuli, Honolulu, Hawaii to Coni (Lemke), a photographer and Joseph Momoa, a painter. His father is of Native Hawaiian ancestry and his mother is of German, Irish, and Native American descent. He was raised in Norwalk, Iowa, by his mother.
@@williamhawkes7437 So he has polynesian roots only on the dad side then. He told in a interview that his family from Hawaii originally migrated from New Zealand like 9 generations ago (in the 1800s i assume)
girl aren't supposed to do these // don't usually iirc
To see his children alongside him honoring their heritage, it shows how deep their roots are. It’s beautiful.
kzhead.info/sun/qpxvotOsp4KLZIk/bejne.html ..
Because they've been miseducated about their heritage.
That is pure pride in one’s culture. Beautiful.
Thanks for your continuous love and support towards me ❤️ How long have you been a fan of mine?? ❤❤❤
The amount of energy and absolutely no embarrassment when they do this always makes me choke up a bit!!
Showing ur own culture is an embarrassment to shit people only
Why would they be embarrassed? its their culture.
@@atulkshankar1783 just because doing things that draw attention to yourself is often uncomfortable and embarrassing for teenagers! I just think it's cool that none of them seem to have an ounce of that! It's nice:)
@@atulkshankar1783 I'm sorry I said teenagers, I thought this was a different video, but my point is the same! Plus I'm probably projecting a bit cause I'm so self conscious I can barely order food in public lol
I wouldn't underestimate the power of the Haka??? Brings bad luck and Because of this reply I would absolutely do a haka right in front of your face and make you shit yourself??? Now that will be embarrassing 😳
"That's so cute." Yeah, even cuter back in the day where this would be the last thing you hear before running for your life.
Thats pretty cute.
Probably referring to the kids
Tru fuckn dat!
They got their ass kicked all history long
@@horrorwhore7946 No victory against the Maori was clean or decisive. To the point where eventually the Europeans gave up and abandoned their claims due to it not being worth the effort
I love that he’s obviously educating his children about their heritage. They are right there doing the Haka with him!
Yes! It's so special 💖
@@harlowesadventuresinwonder1564 I've seen plenty of them that have people participating who are not Maori. I think it's up to them whether they consider it negative
@@mischr13 Absolutely, if they volunteer or are paid and agree to perform that is their decision to make. I just don't want to hear about complaints that people can't tell one culture from another because they are ignorant if you are choosing to conflate the two especially when you lead people to believe they are the same.
Yeah I noticed! That was amazing that they were doing it along with him. ☺️😌
Hea not Maori . Hes german with a small bit of Hawaiian! . This clip is so fucking lame !
Every time I see a Haka performed it makes me cry. So incredibly beautiful and powerful.
You are a very nice and amazing person, thanks for the sincere compliment ..Where are you Watching from....?
@@Jasonmomoa-et6ii Toronto, Canada
Same!!
I love that his children have that tradition in their blood.
You are a very nice and amazing person, thanks for the sincere compliment ..Where are you Watching from....?
As annoying as it is to hear people in the crowd call it “cute”, I am very honored to be able to see these amazing people perform such a powerful Haka!
Yeah think back when and imagine going to war and seeing thousands of people preforming this that would be horrifying not funny or cute and its supposed to be scary for the opponents
Cute idea to perform at the premiere! Fierce Haka! The ancestors AND the still unborn heard That one!
@@SpaceAnomaly09 exactly. It’s still intimidating. In Australia and in rugby it is intimidating still. The opponents to the all blacks are intimidated but don’t let that get by them.
I think the "cute" comment was about the young boy in the group. "He is so cute". Either way he should also be respected.
I think those people were specifically referring to the children. Small people inherently make things cute even when they aren't intended to be.
The people in the crowd have absolutely NO IDEA how lucky they are to have experienced this Haka!! This is one of the most powerful dances you will EVER see!!!!!
Exactly. Yet even a Maori like me is chosen NOT TO by my grandfather who is a Maori.
Yep
Please don't call it a dance. It's not a dance. It means war and that's why, places like New Zealand, Hawaii and across the Pacific are strong. We fought hard for our land, and we aren't giving it up to people. Basically what you see, is the reason why colonialism didn't have much of an influence on these countries. When he breaks the trident, it means that's what they are gonna do to you, if you cross the line. This is the Kiwi version and traditionally performed by men only.
I'm confused, I thought Hawaii is owned by united states?
@@joeythejut6538 haha Lol Go there out of the resort spots & witness its freedom. There are 2 levels of freedom The defiant & the subjugation
Tears every time. What a privilege to see.
@Jason Momoa malo🤍 from utah!
Jesus loves you all ❤️ his the only why to heaven❤@@taycie1486
This is a sign of absolute respect and love at the same time.
You are a very nice and amazing person, thanks for the sincere compliment ..Where are you Watching from....?
If I could witness this one time in my life, I would be so happy. So much respect for the haka.
💖🔥
If you’re in the USA, you’ll get the rugby World Cup in 2031. There you’ll find different versions of a “haka” by Samoa, nz & tonga.
Come to Nz
New Zealand is a great country despite its size. Not many people there, but full of culture and heart, I highly recommend biting the plane ticket and going top to bottom of NZ some day.
@@paddington1670 yeah so many white people live there nowadays lol, idk where are the Maoris anymore.
I grew up in a church with mostly Māori people and got to see the Haka being performed several times, in person. It is simultaneously one of the most terrifying, spiritual and awe inspiring things I have ever seen. Absolutely magnificent.
He is not Maori he is Hawaiian so doing the Ka Mate is just weird...
@@goodshipkaraboudjan who cares? Weenie
@@goodshipkaraboudjan Doesn't matter where he's from it's still a sight to see
@@sympathy1384 It's performed horribly here.
I mean sure still doesn't make it weird because he's Hawaiian
As a rugby fan, I am used to haka, but still gives me goosebumps each time !
Te maka huai tamaki haka dance is what I've just watched and then the one done in a wedding also the one where high-school students dance in honor of lost friends funeral... They all left me in big emotions, tears... Something so special about these dances. ❤️🔥💜
You are a very nice and amazing person, thanks for the sincere compliment ..Where are you Watching from....?
"thats so cute" the same people who thinks mayonaise is spicy.
Americans have no culture at all
Or raisins count as seasoning in potato salad
Lol 😆 I'm dead
Now that's pretty racist
This comment section is filled with offended people who are angry everyone isn't praising a dance. Get a life.
Powerful men doing the Haka ! I would love to see Jason and The Rock do this together!
and then fight each other for islander supremecy.
The stage would be fuming
Me too .. that would be so great
Also roman reigns, I imagine this can really happen, fast and furious franchise looks like signing all stars in hollywood
Dude is Jason and the Rock do a Haka together my head will explode from awesomeness.
Every single time this makes me cry. They give every ounce they got. Haka is so special. ❤
and they accomplish what? beside fatigue and leg cramp
that was POWERFUL!! The best thing I have ever seen at such an event, you guys made history here the way i see it. Belting out your culture for them all, with your children , I am moved
Cute???? OMG...puppies are cute, this is the energy of warriors...
Probaly say that because of Jasons kids
These are warriors on steroids!
Garbage. It's a cheap publicity stunt.
@@mikelheron20 Really? Are you serious? The Haka is one of the most beloved treasures of New Zealand you call it a stunt? You Mike, must be a Repub-Tard!
@@jkstudyroom The real haka is legendary. This ain't it, which if you knew anything at all about Maori culture you would realise.
10 years ago I was in a US rugby team, kiwi teammate of mine made a haka for our team and performed on the field before a match, most spectators laughed because at that time not many Americans know about Haka. The other team, our opponent, made up of 30-40% polynesians, stood there and respected it.
Your teammate is fuckin rad as hell
eyy lesh goo
Hi from aotearoa new Zealand awesome story my bro the Polynesians in the USA a so far away from there home islands I think for them to see a haka over there it would have taken them back home that makes me proud to be Maori. It doesn't matter if ur Maori or polynesian we all whanau(family) from the south Pacific
It's because Polynesians are simply better
The first time I saw the Haka I was mesmerized. I can’t imagine what it’s like to see it in person!
And people wonder why he sounded perfect speaking Dothraki😍
You are a very nice and amazing person, thanks for the sincere compliment ..Where are you Watching from....?
That was phenomenal!! Thank you!! Never witnessed anything like it before I would love to learn this and be right beside Jason Momoa and all the others that was truly beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
You are a very nice and amazing person, thanks for the sincere compliment ..Where are you Watching from....?
That little guy doing the haka is 100× manlier than those people laughing there
Little Momoa !!!
yeah, problem isn't that its haka, its that its being done on a carpet against a foam backdrop, nobody hears the voices or the foot stomps
And his daughter.
@@eplanti mhm. It’s more intimidating with the sounds which would MAKE THEM SHUT UP!
When I was at the kid's age I was doing some dumb shits
I love how he incorporated his kids in this.
He didn't "incorporate" his kids into this. It is the haka and they learn it as children. They love and respect their heritage.
@VALMER LYNN the rock is samoan
CPGoat #3 Half Samoan, half African
@@cindyjones6441 I know. I was specifically speaking on his samoan side. His African side isnt relevant in this convo.
VALMER LYNN the rock learned it as a child too and has been on tv doing it long before Jason did it. He’s done it on national television too. Now Jessica.......she’s.......Jessica idk lol
I love it when people showcase my whakapapa to the world, it just lightens my heart up, so thank you for that matua momoa❤❤
You are a very nice and amazing person, thanks for the sincere compliment ..Where are you Watching from.......?
amazing to see Jason doing the HAKA.....😁😁😁😁
Everybody gangsta til these mf’s start hitting the Haka at you
Its cute
It’s a warcry
Haka warcry is the last thing you hear before you die.
It means, WAR
Ken Penalosa so its means your gonna get killed because it’s a war cry basically
That was so disrespectful how the people in the background where laughing at them, wtf is wrong with you, pay your respects, The performance was strong and inpowering, Beautiful
Watching the video, I laughed out of surprise of how cool it was. It's a startled laugh, but I feel great respect. I know it's history based and I get goosebumps when I see the haka done.
They are just ignorant Americans bro, its how they are from a South-African brother
It’s cringe bro lol
@@HAfusion no it’s really not
@@samsclublol it’s gay and cringe
Oh my gosh the haka is so awe inspiring I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes every-time I see it done.
You are a very nice and amazing person, thanks for the sincere compliment ..Where are you Watching from....?
I can feel the strength and power of these men through this video. Amazing!
Damn that's intimidating, I'd be honored to hear this before my death
go to new zealand theres a lot of more advanced groups that practice it like it’s a sport it’s really cool and way louder not to mention there’s a more balanced ratio between men and women
This is what a tribe would do before starting a war with another
that's such a beta thing to hear you must be a virgin
When in reality they were honored to do this before their deaths
@@Jamplays592 different haka's for different occasions there are haka for battle and haka for weddings.
I am African. Not familiar with this culture but the Haka gives me waves of good goose bumps and makes me so emotional that I cry... like proper cry❤ This is spiritual! Amazing! Love it!😍
I feel the exact same way and i'm european it enwokes something deep inside us
its for the warriors to show that they are ready to fight and kill its not emotional its war
@@nickpliatsikas7334 If anything war is highly emotional. Fighting is highly emotional.
@@nickpliatsikas7334 that's true, however, depending on the occasion, can make it emotional for one person .. it does for me when I do a haka
@@nickpliatsikas7334 so when they are done at weddings....that means war and killing as well?🤔
Love you Jason! Thank you my King!
I have no personal connection to the Maori culture but a haka always makes me emotional for some reason. I cry every time. The energy, love, strength, and just ... Life, that resonates from them always draws a tear.
you want a alpha dark maori man over them skinny white boys huh?
You are a very nice and amazing person, thanks for the sincere compliment ..Where are you Watching from....?
Man I cry every time I watch the ppl of New Zealand perform the Haka Dance it’s so much passion put into this chant I love it
2 years ago I had performed and we did haka, if you wanna watch it here is the lik to that performance: kzhead.info/sun/kp2nlZeOqphjgas/bejne.html And the link to the performance we had done last year: www.maoritelevision.com/haka/te-mana-kuratahi-2019/groups/te-kura-o-taneatua/275848#video-player
He is not Maori he is Hawaiian
@@imdirtydan7813 He is Hawaiian, but Hawaii and Maori have a relation. So they're kind of right but then again wrong.
Jordan the Hawaiian that’s actually wrong jason momoa said himself that he is from hawaii but his blood line is also from new zealand and that means he’s maori😗✌🏽✨
All polynesian cultures have ties from Hawaii all through the south Pacific Ocean our peoples were navigators of the seas so in ever way polynesians are a vast race made up of many poly and Pacific cultures
I've already commented on this video but Jason doing this with his family brings back a lot of memories. When my mom's side of the family had our first big family gathering with our extended New Zealand family we met halfway in Hawaii and rented out an entire place for about a 40-person barbecue. (My mom's cousin married a new zealander and they have three beautiful half-Italian half-native new zealander children). At some point the entire group from NZ got together in the middle of the party area and all performed a few songs in Maori followed by the Ka Mate haka. They were speaking from deep within their gut. Everyone from the toddlers who had just been chasing each other around the pool to the elderly men and women with large charcoal tattoos circling their muscles joined together into one unit of raw power and pride for their history. What surprised me most was my small quiet Italian aunt joining the haka standing behind her three children, reciting the Maori perfectly and being just as powerful and feminine as all the other women in the family. We may be far apart but I am eternally grateful for getting to see a haka in real life. Thank you for this Jason and thank you to my uncle's ancestors for passing down these traditions to the next generation.
Depending on what the Haka is performed for can make the experience differ greatly. (A much loved NZ rugby player) Jonah Lomu's funeral Haka was the most heartbreaking I have ever seen.
when i graduated highschool the kapa haka group performed a haka to send off the leaders that were graduating and just watching it i nearly cried. everyone stood and watched and their conversations just stopped. it was very emotional
I got goosebumps reading this. I love hearing about it!
Haka always reminds people where they came from,you can be born in the USA ,hold other country nationality,but when hearing haka,even if you don't understand it,you can feel the energy and reminds you where you came from.
americans: it’s so cute :) new zealander’s, polynesians and australians: *deep sigh*
@Ella Pastoor Yup as a fellow Polynesian I agree 100%. I do not understand why people would laugh at something extremely cultural and traditional, especially since a lot of Polynesian culture is being drowned out and it is no where near as strong and rich as it used to.
@@sian186 What do you mean?
@@sian186 he's an american citizen, but he also has native american and polynesian heritage. he's keeping in touch with his roots and obviously knows about his culture and where he comes from. i was talking about people in the comments who were saying the dance was cute, that may be how they perceive it, but the dance is a war chant meant to scare the opposing side. its very likely that the people that aren't aware of this are americans, whereas those who the culture actually originates from know of its meaning. it was a lighthearted poke at americans, never once did i say that they were ignorant and have no culture; you were the one that assumed that, not me. kindly fuck off with your victim complex. kiss kiss x
@@sian186 holy shit, its almost as if most white americans aren't aware of said cultures. gn
@@sian186 i know about white european culture, i’m well versed in it as i am actually in fact a practising wiccan. it was a joke about the stereotypical image of a middle class white american who isn’t aware of cultures and interprets it in the incorrect way. it was an innocent joke and you made it out as i hate americans and that i’m a hateful person in general, so far you’ve made assumptions about almost all of my opinions, there was nothing malicious or hateful in my original comment, it was something meant for people to have a chuckle at, not me saying that white americans and white people don’t have culture. also, it was based off of comments that were on this video, not the way i feel about white americans. i myself am a white australian and it makes my blood boil that you would assume i’m a hateful person, yes i assumed that the people commenting that it was cute were white, because that is likely. it was only ever meant to be a lighthearted jab at the stereotype of a white american. i am not hateful, end of story.
The best part is he included his children. Thats so dope. Imagine seeing a whole line of these guys back in the day before a battle
I literally just got the chills. YAY them.
Gives me chills every time I watch it. Greatest war dance ever. How I wish I could experience it in person just once.
I love watching Haka! Gives me goosebumps every time!
We feel the same way. 🔥💖
Me too! Every effing time!
Same here!
So much power
I find the facial expressions too funny. I bet if it was not a new zealand thing but say an Indian thing, people would not be calling this goosebumps worthy
I'd love to see Dwayne Johnson, Jason Momoa and Roman Reigns lead a traditional Haka.
That will be Epic.! 💯
Uso's used to do it at the beginning ....
Rock and Reigns do it in Hobbs and Shaw the movie
Kapa o pango one will be intense
@@devonheilbron397 yeah but kapa o pango is for the all blacks so for new zealand it would be inaccurate for jason momoa the rock and reigns to do the kapa o pango
Aotearoa is my home and i grew up watching the Haka. everytime it is preformed here it is powerful ❤🇳🇿
You are a very nice and amazing person, thanks for the sincere compliment ..Where are you Watching from.....?
One of the finest artistic ways to be united creating immesaurable mental energy.
During 1:33-1:40 there’s a guy with a hat in the back that’s also chanting along with them, pretty sick 💪🏼
He looks like he wants to jump in but very respectfully doesn't. Very cool!!
Yeh lmfao he wanted to join to bad
I always saw Haka as very badass and a very cool way to represent their culture to other people and had to respected. Sadly some people didn't get this and laugh or didn't take it seriously.
Fools earn no respect. Haka is awesome.
I dont think maoris care if you laugh, as long as you show respect. And I think only 2% of America knows what a Māori is, and what the haka is
Some people laugh out of nervousness and intimidation. And others are just c u next tuesdays
I think it’s so powerful and honestly, attractive. Humans showing healthy rage, strength, and honor. It’s so authentic and just beautiful to see.
shut up we laugh cause its funny to us. you enjoy it good for you.
I fell in love with this dance when i watch the series titled "SEE" featuring Jason Momoa then i never knew its actually a culture from New Zealand until i saw it again this performed at a funeral.. the energy that comes with it is supernatural and fun
The whanau done the haka at my grandads funeral while us (grandsons) carried the coffin, it was the most powerful feeling I've ever felt. My brother and I grew up in Australia, so we never heard it as often as the cousins, The emotion was truly an experience I'll never forget.
So that's why the Dothraki language felt so natural when spoke by Momoa.
🤣🤣🤣
Very disrespectful of that lady to call them cute as they perform the mighty haka
talking about the little girl, obviously, no chill for you
Jose Gorilla say it to the rest of the 14 people that also thought the same
God Of Disco tautoko
I read your comment as I posted mine I feel the exact same way very disrespectful
disco chill out ffs
I cry when I see them perform this dance. 😊
What a wonderful way to bless this occasion! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I only just realized Temuera Morrison is also there doing the Haka. We have Aquaman and Boba Fett doing the Haka, I am so amazed and honored to see this
Yeah I noticed it at the end too so I guess I wasn’t crazy. So awesome!
Jake the muss
Thats right he plays the dad
My favorite part is the kids who are performing the haka. They can get it as far as doing haka goes, and its fantastic to see young people rocking their culture so enthusiastically and genuinely. They had twice as much energy as the adults, who were also super enthused. Think about that.
Yeah. Those were his kids lol 😂
It's not their culture though, they're Hawaiian and not Maori or Kiwi so why do the Ka Mate?
@@goodshipkaraboudjan yeah you have a point. It does seem like appropriation, even though it is cool to see kids getting into something like a haka.

* Laughing and calling it "cute" * : Americans being Americans.
As an American, I'm disappointed those people don't take these guys seriously.
Sam Creel The woman was talking about Jason’s son, who was doing it right along with the men!
gilbert martinez it’s not just for hype. the haka has deep meaning.
American stupidity🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ciao from Italy....👋
gilbert martinez nah its not really hype. hes demonstrating a war dance from his culture that maui warriors used to tell stories and intimidate their opponents. if they saw some americans dabbing and other dances for “hype” im pretty sure theyd laugh all the same
Respect 🙏! Even when others here did not!
👏👏👏
Love the Haka. So freakin beautiful ❤️
Thanks for your continuous love and support towards me ❤️ How long have you been a fan of mine?? ❤❤❤
Every time I hear and see that Haka I get goosebumps . Such a beautiful culture , beautiful people. New Zealand is in my bucket list.
I’m going to optimistic and assume she means the kids are cute.
I'm sure it was. People like to get butthurt over everything these days
I’d say so
Hoping the same thing
Yeah lmao and yes they were cute 😂❤️
That is what I was thinking as well
I love the Haka ritual!! Totally badass and I wish I was as big as some of these guys performing it. Really great watching this and when they do it for a rugby game.
It's a very special thing💖
@@hollywoodstreamsJesus loves you all ❤️ his the only why to heaven❤
This is a awesome video I am not a huge aquaman fan but I love his other movies and this Performance of family heritage Shows his love for his families tradition for many years before he was born this is such a honor to see I would love to experience seeing it live because it would be such a huge honor to watch it in person to feel the energy coming from them it would make anyone emotional who knows about this and how special it is to them
I don't know why my eyes dropped tears while watching this 👏👏👏🥲
Having served in the Navy I know three things about Samoans. 1. They are very large people. I was 6'0 and 225 in the Navy... In good shape. They all made me look little 2. They are the craziest bastards I've ever met 3. They are some of the most loyal friends you will ever have.
#ALLABOUTTHATNAVYLIFE🥰❤
These are Maori, my bro. Haha, it'd be like calling a Chinese person, Japanese. But we are all Polynesian.
Every word you say is correct in my experience.... but these guys are Maori.
I second this
they're Maori but ik everyone already said that anyway, everything you said is true my roommate is Samoan and he's the most built guy I've ever seen without working out
seeing temeura morrison join in as well makes my heart warm 💕
Temuera Morrison was the one who taught them all those haka. As once the haka was finished he was the only one still in stance.
@@gabezbawllin3650 It's great to see how terrifying he appears doing the Ka Mate Haka reminds me of how terrifying he was in Once Were Warriors, but knowing underneath he is a genuinely nice man. Tu meke.
Jake "The Muss" Heke!!!
I didn't recognize him with a shaved head.
No other word’s except absolutely incredible ❤ I’m speechless ❤❤
You are a very nice and amazing person, thanks for the sincere compliment ..Where are you Watching from....?
Seeing Haka always gets me pumped. Jason Momoa really puts his all into each role. Here's hoping he gets another great role soon
When I was in primary school I played rugby. Our coach was from New Zealand and he taught us the Haka. It was the only moment in my life I remember feeling confident and powerful. I tear up every time I see of performed.
You still have it man remember it and teach it keep it alive and you'll feel the same way haka never dies it sleeps waiting to be stirred from its slumber embrace it again 👍✌🙂
The raw power, and pride of their lineage! Imo, they HONORED them with this display! It was an honor to watch.
One in a million sight to watch Haka
When I was 19 my friend won tickets to go to New Zealand and I saw this in person it was the most beautifulest thing I ever witnessed in my life and I cried
You are a very nice and amazing person, thanks for the sincere compliment ..Where are you Watching from....?
when you see something like this, stand still and pay your respects. Don't laugh. That's an insult. How would you like it if some one laughed through the star spangled banner.
I'm American and I have several Maori friends, I think their culture is stunningly beautiful and interesting. Big respect from me.
!!!!
Concerns were expressed that the authorship and significance of this haka to the Ngāti Toa were being lost and that it had "become the most performed, the most maligned, the most abused of all haka" (Kāretu 1993b, p. 68 ) and was now "the most globally recognized form of cultural appropriation" (Hokowhitu, Brendan (2014). Graham, Laura (ed.). "Haka: Colonized Physicality, Body-Logic, and Embodied Sovereignty". Performing Indigeneity: Global Histories and Contemporary Experiences.

yeah. I don't get why were they laughing. The first time I watch haka dance, I felt really amazed.
Knowing me as an Australian I know this already because my stepmom dad was born there before he died a few years ago
It was great to see Temuera Morrison. He is a great character actor. I loved him as Boba Fett, Jango Fett (grown), and Tom Curry, among others. This ritual dance performance was splendid!
Hey Nan! Glad to hear you enjoyed the movie!
Where wasTemuera, please ?

Absolutely beautiful
I watch a soman dance like this then cry. It's like I can feel their spirit/ ancestors power flowing through them, while at the same time longing for that same connection with mine. It's so crazy my history, language, customs and ways have been stripped from me and I wish I had this connection.
Samoan? This is a Maori haka has nothing to do with samoa
It's so nice to see someone keeping their traditions alive regardless of where they are from. Indegious People are not revered like they used to be. I'm part Athabaskan Indian, Vuntut Gwich'in Athabaskan Indian. Thank you Jason Momoa for your ancestral dance! It was beautiful!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Here's the thing, it isn't his people's dance, it belongs to the Maori, smh but who cares as a Maori myself atleast he tried cause the haka is the most boring and tiring dance you can do
@@lostdracco6744 Maori are Polynesian. Many migrated to Hawaii. Samoa and other regions. So yes it IS his heritage. You can't be poly or you'd know this.
@@lostdracco6744 Hawaii is the northernmost island group in Polynesia and can be rightfully be referred to as a Polynesian. Polynesians are indigenous populations in Hawaii, Tahiti, Easter Island, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Tuvalu, Samoa, Cook Islands, New Zealand, Chatham Islands, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna, Tokelau, American Samoa, Niue, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, and two islands in the Federated States of Micronesia. Haka is a ceremonial dance in Māori culture. The Māori (/ˈmaʊri/, Māori: [ˈmaːɔɾi] ( listen)) are the indigenous Polynesian people of mainland New Zealand. To whom all which came to inhabit among other locations, Hawaii. They are all, admixing aside, brothers and sisters, literally. There were tribes and sub tribes but those that migrated to Hawaii,..Samoa in context, Were Maori. So yes it IS his heritage.
@@MrAnderson5157 lmao you are most certainly wrong, btw im maori, ngati kahungunu and tuhoe, the haka is a maori tradition, yes we are apart of the polynesian branch but the haka was created by us no one else, you seem to not understand that the people of polynesia have developed there own identities, these were laws that were created a long long time ago. all polynesians migraged to different islands and crafted there own culture, there own people, Hawaiians are not Maori that is so dumb. No other polynesian has rights to maori culture because there polynesian, our culture is distinct as much as it is similar. Us maoris respect our islander cousins thats why you rarely find us wearing lavalavas and tryna embed ourselves within the culture. if you ask any poly samoan, tongan, etc and ask them where does the haka come from they will tell you, the indigenous of Aotearoa and no one else. not only that us Maoris do not know who the Hawaiians are at all, to us yous are just some American's across the seas, you will not find a Hawaiian in new Zealand, out of all the islanders that come to nz Hawaiians are not one of em, yous are just strange cousins we dont know about, so when we see Hawaiians claiming our culture it offends us. Hawaiians have a beautiful culture but claiming someone elses is just not it
@@lostdracco6744 Wrong. Idt you understand the differences at all. Or heritage. As if NZ is strictly poly. Cmon my guy
He's being proud of his heritage....salute..salute.. salute...
Never ever forget where you come from… your own culture, your roots… that’s amazing and I love it
MAN YOU GOTTA LOVE THE WAY THEY REPRESENT THEIR CULTURE ❤ I GET EMOTIONAL EVERY TIME I SEE THIS DANCE❤
You are a very nice and amazing person, thanks for the sincere compliment ..Where are you Watching from....?
There is a reason he was chosen to play Khal Drogo guys....
He actually did a Haka for his audition for Game of Thrones
Christina _ppj "He has that certain 'je ne sais quoi," doesn't he? He is convincing, especially as a barbarian or super hero. He is one of the few up and coming actors I am paying attention to. I happen to think he's terrific.
He was Ronon Dex in Stargate Atlantis.
holy fuck he WAS khal drogo!
Khal drogo was my favorite. Too bad he died so soon
People are laughing and calling this cute?? Ignorance isn't always bliss... This isn't even my culture and I know it's no joke! Edit: Wow, I really appreciate the likes and comments (good or bad), God bless you all.
Jazmine Palmer they don’t understand it like we do. 🤷🏽♀️
@@leeanneryda6051 so true smh
They laugh because they are frightened and do not know how to handle such a demonstration of power and willingness to go to war. I am far from the cowardly type but the Maori folks I would never mess with
C Nit on my perspective laughing is just unacceptable frightened or not as a Maori teenager when preforming the haka to the audience & they’re out there laughing is just a sign of disrespect in their eyes it may seem different and that it’s okay to laugh but in our eyes it’s like they’re basically saying it’s “cringe” & stupid.
@@leeanneryda6051 Half of them are in business suits. The whole thing is kind of silly. I think people were laughing because it is cute. It's not to be taken seriously. These are not real warriors.
That was pure awesome!! Most people had no idea, abd they didn’t give AF! That made it better!
Every single time i see the haka if by tamariki or tana ... my heart opens & my eys full
can i just say i love how his kids are in this too? :) awesome
Yes because they learn the haka when their children all kids it's their culture
imagine some stranger being happy about your kids that would be weird
Who are his kids?
@@Refining1 the kids
Everytime I see the Haka I get chills. You can feel the strength and passion! Makes me tear up
Always a blessing watching Haka. Divine masculine energy💛
I was sitting here wondering why he didn't do a Ha'a instead of the Haka. After reading his connection with Temuera Morrison and the Maori culture and explanation of Polynesians being one separated by water, it made sense. A wonderful honor of Maori culture. Yeah my eyes watered a bit. Powerful representation!
You are a very nice and amazing person, thanks for the sincere compliment ..Where are you Watching from.......?
I know im experiencing something powerful. This gives me chills.
My respect goes to these people. In suits and fancy dress clothes, still committed deeply to their Haka. I know enough to know this dance is a very significant act in Polynesian culture. Clearly so much whatever the wardrobe, when called to Haka you dance with the warriors.
💯💯💯

It's Maori specifically, not just Polynesian. You don't know anything.
Very great to see Jason loving Maori culture as I'm proud to be maori
He said in one of his interviews that he's doing it for all the Polynesian Islands 🇼🇸🇦🇸🇹🇴🇳🇿🇵🇬🇫🇯🌺🌴🌴
@@lewiskalaniuvalu2280 lmao
Arnel Awanui can you explain a little more about this Haka . I don’t why Haka always makes me cry even though I don’t understand the words
@@afsanehpetrofsky because it's fuckin powerful
Wait, That's not Samoa? I know they are both Polynesians but I don't really understand the differents of an Samoan and Maori. The only thing I know is the difference in tattoos. Maori tattoos are round and samoa tattoos are parallel with straight lines.. Right? I like Polynesian culture.
Loved watching especially his son. 😍
LOVE the hakas they pull together here! & The children being brought up in these traditions is wonderful! (It's no wonder they chose Mr Momoa to play Drogo!)
