some public schools do, in most bilingual is optional. Well it was in my day. Most New Zealanders do not practice tikanga and majority of maori do not speak their own language. I grew up in multiple communities where racism was an acceptable practice.

Yo if i died and the community did this for me id feel like iv done my fare share in the society. that community shows they value each other what a nice tradition

I'd only seen Haka on Rugby pitches... Never before had I seen it being performed as a way to pay tribute to someone... Made me cry. So, so beautiful and powerful...

Doing the Haka makes everyone doing it feel as one

The energy in this haka is insane

5 years later and still Freaking outstanding. One of the things that unites Kiwis abroad - when you hear the haka, you know your soul comes home to Aotearoa, New Zealand. Ive heard it in China, South Korea and even in Cambodia - it still makes me think of home. USA with the Patea Maori Club with Te Reo Maori songs became hugely popular, the All Blacks with their haka, Te Reo is huge in Europe now with Alien Weaponry making it big abroad and all our artists who proudly display their art regardless of which discipline. Good on you New Zealand, Keeping it Kiwi.

I think Hakka should be the world anthem. It will bring maturity sense of understanding and care to all human beings. This tradition is full of everything.

You can hear the passion in every single student for their teacher. They should be proud of themselves.

Imagine you are a British soldier sent to the ends of the earth and these people don't want you around. Then you hear this in the middle of the night.

What a compliment, an act of utter respect for a man they obviously adored.

I'm from the UK, not sure how I got to this (You-tube surfing) but I am so glad I did. What an amazing tribute, I have seen the Haka performed on numerous occasions but never performed so passionately!!

I'm sorry, dude or dudette, but a haka is not a haka without the screaming. The haka is supposed to psych up Maori warriors for battle and to give themselves mana (spiritual energy). A haka with no screaming in it is not a haka at all rather it's just a perversion. It'd be just a bunch of fools doing weird movements. You say it would be more formal without the screaming, that is absolute nonsense. I'm sorry, but it's true. Also, sometimes screaming and getting angry in a positive manner is probably one of the best ways to mourn. These kids are mourning the death of a beloved teacher. They're not going to cry (though I'm sure some of them did) but they're going to honor him in the best way NZ culture has. In summary, I think you're absolutely wrong in this scenario
