Respect right back at you brother, the future is looking brighter, it’s time for indigenous to shine. These are the rare and valuable assets/taonga to both our families, communities and countries. Role model and others will see the benefits in this modern world (Te Ao Hurihuri. You can’t this anywhere else in the world. Absolutely stunning 🔥🔥🔥
"A moment of silence to acknowledge the stolen generations" i am descended from the Taino people on the island of Puerto Rico. That sentence really resonated with me.
in kkkanada, it's called the 60s scoop, but it went from the 50's-80's, and those of us who were trafficked to wyt folx are NOT respected by anyone, and certainly not by our own ppl. i respect the taino bcuz they knew to leave the table when they knew respect would never be served. i ache to join your ancestors.
@@a.m.s.twoheartalthough I feel for you, the Taíno people didn’t get a choice. Our Tainos were killed off. There was literally a handful left by the end. They were enslaved, killed, tortured and finally disease stole what was left. Our culture survives from the remnants. But Puerto Ricans are resilient people, we celebrate our Taino, our African and our Colonizer’s roots. Our history is our history but we learn from it and we make ourselves stronger. Dont let anyone, even your own people, turn you away from who you are. That is your right!
The visibly upset Maori player at 0.40 secs of the video seeing the Indigenous reflection on the Stolen generation was so poignant and respectful. So much love for our Maori, Pasifika and Indigenous brothers. Well done boys. This is has been the best game of this series.
I'm Mexican American. My mother has Tarahumara/Raramuri on her side and my father has Comanche on his side. This was beautiful. Also got me pumped up before going to work. Makes me feel spiritually confident in myself again.
Being a Maori who was fostered out to a nice halfcast aboriginal family as a kid was actually such a experience love my aboriginal family frs miss them to this day love them forever to find out I was Polynesian Maori heart broke me because I wasn't a blood related to my adopted family hurt but they always said I'll always be there family and they'll love me forever man love my aboriginal culture
If you ever want to know your Maori side you can always reach out as Maori whakapapa is installed in us all if you can find out what area of nz u from just holla
You've probably got Dutch Colonial heritage. Might be worth looking in to. I recently learned ive got Russian and Lithuanian on top of Welsh and Norwegian. Norway has a very prominent history, but I'm going to start looking into Russian and Lithuanian our heritage is important.
Can literally feel the mana (power) through the screen! Beautiful to witness both indigenous peoples together showing strength and respect 😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
I love this. I had tears in my eyes for each culture showing a bit of who they are. I'm Native American but I can say Native to Native it still has the same pride and unity.❤
The unity and respect shown at the end was perfect. Well done and much love and respect to all of my indigenous and Māori brothers from a white Australian.
I love that even in this modern era people haven’t forgotten their ancestral ties and traditions. This was incredibly powerful to watch two nations come together demonstrating their warrior spirit
This is one of the greatest respect of a culture! We need more sports events with this kind of fight! I, as a Brazilian, would love to watch one of our rich and vast indigenous fight cultures defending our nation in a sport event.
My brother is indigineous so I wasn’t really that mad about the loss and proud of his culture for winning it. at the end of the day I just really enjoyed the match and it was close. I just hope for my maōri boys to win the next all stars match. was good game 🖤🤍❤️ 🤝 🖤💛❤️
Through all, both our cultures pain and suffering. We express our passion for who we are, through our spiritual dance. It wasn’t a war dance. It was a dance of cultural expression. Much love always to our indigenous cultures…. We all winners❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As a white fella, watching this is awesome to see. Love seeing these two cultures come together and show us how it should be. Keep growing the indigenous game! 👍
Wonderful histoy of both nations here. The Haka was first performed on a RU field when the NZ team (the Natives) toured UK in around 1890. In Wales the local spectators replied with their National Anthem which is believed to be the first time a NA was performed before a sporting event. A War Dance was performed by the Kangaroos in 1908 after the mighty Newtown Bluebags performed it at home game. It was ceased in the 1960's
Win or lose These Two teams have already got something special. Already that will carryon in the future which is honour, respect, And Aroha.(love) Magnificent.
Watching this on Christmas morning and in many ways it's a beautiful representation of cultures and respect. Something we usually cherish and remember during this time of the year.
Chur to my sister and brothers 1st nation and pakeha australians who actually love our cultures , language show up please on new constitutional change voice etc we want your love darug my adopted language 4eva bb Maori roots best of all worlds heard
I am Mexican, born and raised in Mexico and for me this makes all the sense in the world. We can be anything we want: a farmer, a bricklayer, a teacher, a doctor, an athlete but in the end we are warriors. The indigenous peoples of Mexico were sophisticated cultures, they built huge buildings, poetry, art, dances but they considered themselves above all things as warriors and Mexicans still consider ourselves warriors. New Zealand thank you for maintaining the native cultures and honoring it with so much love. I really admire you.
Chills … just chills and goosebumps watching this … love how cultures have not lost all their history and heritage to the white man … love the head bumps at the end
Viewing haka is for me always emotionally affecting. Each time it makes me wonder if my Viking ancestors 30 or 35 generations ago had a similar ceremonial practice.
@@shreeraaman1667 Thank you for asking, Mr r, but I'm not -- even though my parents were immigrants to the US just before the outbreak of WW II. I'm embarrassed to state that I know very little about the so-called 'pagan' religion in which the Vikings believed prior to their acceptance of Christianity in the 10th century.
Man, I'm a white American and we don't have anything that cool in our sports. We sing the anthem, we have entrance music, but THIS? This puts all that to shame. Cheers from NYC.
State of Origin - Original States. This is IMO better than SoA. All of the comments here seems to align with the general theme. The amount of good, genuine respect for culture has, in society. Amazing to see these leaders teach the next generation, controlled power. I think that both the dance (sorry from not knowing its name) and haka was recognised for what it was. Here is our best! We're showing you our most! We're summoning support to be at our utmost. Please do the same. For the First Nations People to know, show and recognise that, was the best. Great respect for the NRL living the path to cultural inclusively. I'd love to see all NRL teams send an observer to these. That way they can bring this back to the regions they represent.
I have great respect for the indigenous cultures of Australia and New Zealand. We would’ve lost our home if it wasn’t for the fierce-some warriors from these places. Even though the nation I live in subjugated them. They’re brave fighting men gave their lives for an Empire that didn’t love them back. We owe our freedom and democracy to such individuals. From the four Corners of the Globe. When we honour the dead remembrance day. I think of you all aswell. The way of the warrior is to fight for what’s yours and who you love. God Bless you all A friend from Britain 🫡🫡🫡
Love to see it, Māori’s definitely won the pre game! I reckon a bit more passion from the All stars, a bit more smack talking in language and more didge for sure and you got a winner! That conch was dope, well done all round!
Yowza. I'm just a mostly-unenlightened White woman from America and this stuff is SO powerful! I love the forehead touch "for unity" at the end. Thank you for sharing this!
I can't wait until the Aboriginal give the Maaroi a hard time on the field when it comes to haka because then its going to be a match for the world to see. I love to see the aboriginal tribes coming alive when it comes to their way of war because it shows so much of their history in one setting as does the haka Maaori. Ti Hei Maariora
🎉This is breathtaking, and powerful!🙌 um, question tho... I know Māori people are indigenous to NZ (Aotearoa), and that the Haka is theirs, so what/who is behind the term of "indigenous war cry" of the opposing team? (thank you in advance!! (Google was confused by my Q 😅 so figured y'all might Answer)
God I wish America would honor the people's we destroyed like this.. they still live here, this is their land, they deserve to be cherished and showcased and protected
