Thanks for sharing this! I’m just a yank here in Ohio USA………It’s wonderful to see deep culture……
Yesterday’s burial of Kiingi Tuheitia Pootatau Te Wherowhero VII and the succession of Te Arikinui Kuini Nga Wai Te Hono I Te Po displayed incredible examples of haka and other Māori performaning arts and traditions.
I doubt that I will see a tangi of this magnitude again in my lifetime. The whole video is worth a watch, even just playing in the background.
I’m hesitant to post this on this forum, but I thought I would for those of you who are genuinely interested in Māori culture and may not of had the chance to see this elsewhere. If it’s not your cup of tea, no worries, just move on
Kia tuuturu te kotahitanga
Here we’re a relatively young country and and the old saying goes “a melting pot “……..
