Haka (/ˈhɑːkə//ˈhækə/; singular haka, in both Māori and English) are a variety of ceremonial dances in Māori culture.  A performance art, haka are often performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment. Haka have been traditionally performed by both men and women for a variety of social functions within Māori culture. They are performed to welcome distinguished guests, or to acknowledge great achievements, occasions, or funerals.

Kapa haka groups are common in schools. The main Māori performing arts competition, Te Matatini, takes place every two years.

Haka is a traditional genre of Māori dance. This painting dates from c. 1845.

 

New Zealand sports teams' practice of performing a haka to challenge opponents before international matches has made the dance form more widely known around the world. This tradition began with the 1888–89 New Zealand Native football team tour and has been carried on by the New Zealand rugby union team (known as the All Blacks) since 1905.

 

 Although popularly associated with the traditional battle preparations of male warriors, conceptions that haka are typically war dances, and the non-accurate performance of haka by non-Māori, are considered erroneous and sometimes offensive by Māori scholars.

Māori haka

The traditional Māori performance of haka is a source of pride for all New Zealanders. It is performed all around the world, most famously by the All Blacks and the New Zealand Defence Force. Even Beyoncé has given it a go. Yet despite haka’s international reputation, few people understand its origins and meanings.

 

Overview

Passion and pride, Rotorua

By Te Puia

 

 

Traditionally, haka was a customary way to welcome visiting tribes, but it also served to invigorate warriors as they headed into battle. It was a show of physical prowess but also an embodiment of cultural pride, strength, and unity.

 

Although haka is the Māori word for dance, it is not a dance in the sense you might imagine. Usually performed in a group, it involves chanting and actions, such as stamping, hand movements, and facial gestures.

 

Haka varies by tribal region, with many haka telling the story of significant events in an iwi’s (tribe’s) history.

Today, haka is used as a sign of respect and is performed on important occasions, such as sporting events, weddings, funerals, and powhiri (a traditional welcome).

Origins of Haka

Wero - the challenge, Rotorua

By Graeme Murray

 

Like many Māori customs, haka has its origins in Māori legend. According to Māori mythology, the sun god Tama-nui-te-ra and the goddess of summer Hine-Raumati had a son called Tane-rone. During summer, Tane-rone would dance for his mother, causing the quivering air we see on the horizon during hot days.

 

In haka, this is symbolised by the gesture of trembling hands, which is a common action in many haka.

 

Ka Mate

New Zealand All Blacks, New Zealand

By Kai Schwörer

 

Ka Mate is the haka often performed by the All Blacks. It begins with ‘Ka mate, ka mate, ka ora, ka ora’, which translates to ‘I die, I die, I live, I live.’ One can only imagine how Ngati Toa Chief Te Rauparaha felt when he first chanted these words 200 years ago.

 

He had just evaded capture by a rival iwi (tribe) and was given shelter by another iwi, who hid him underground in a kumara (sweet potato) pit. Ka mate tells this story, describing how Te Rauparaha shook off adversity to emerge from the darkness of the kumara pit into the light.

 

Te Rauparaha went on to evade capture a few more times and to become a great Māori chief and warrior, helping to expand Ngāti Toa's territory across the lower North Island.

New Zealand and Tonga stars square off in heated showdown before crunch World Cup game in front of thousands of rowdy fans
The Tongan and New Zealand rugby league teams engage in fierce showdown.
Both teams performed their traditional challenges ahead of the world cup game.
Star forwards Andrew Fifita and Nelson Asofa-Solomona ended up face to face.

The Tongan and New Zealand rugby league teams have engaged in a fierce showdown ahead of their crunch World Cup match.
Both sides performed their traditional challenges – the haka and the sipi tau, respectively – in front of thousands of rowdy fans in Hamilton, New Zealand.
 

The New Zealand Kiwis performed their haka first, led by captain Adam Blair.
As it came to an end, the teams began marching towards each other and ended up face to face in what was a fiery encounter.
Cronulla Sharks star Andrew Fifita and the Melbourne Storm’s Nelson Asofa-Solomona had their faces pressed against each other before there was a shove and the team’s separated.
 

The Tongans then responded with their sipi tau fronted by North Queensland Cowboys player Jason Taumalolo.
One of the game’s best forwards, Taumalolo controversially rejected a call-up from the Kiwis to represent the country of his birth.
 
Despite the game being played in New Zealand, the crowd is a sea of red as Tongan fans outnumbered supporters for the home side.
A spectator at the game told Daily Mail Australia the crowd was 'about 70 per cent' Tongan supporters.
 
 
In the end Tonga claimed a victorious win over New Zealand with the result standing at 28-22 by full time.
