For all the haters this is Indigenous people playing a sport together to support each other in solidarity and for the love of the sport. Each culture portrayed a bit of tradition but also some entertainment. So haters, its not a reflection of animosity or everyday cultural norms, its a show that has roots in deeper culture. But that deeper culture is not put on show for entertainment its special and reflects identity of Indigenous people in Australia and NZ. In solidarity to our Maori bruthas and sistas and all those that support Indigenous sport. For the haters that talk shit, wipe your mouth and go get mouth wash cos your breath stinks!
The peoples of Oceania have taken this Western sport and made it their own, integrated into the warrior ethos of their culture. Cultural appropriation, this is what it is for.
I've heard that black South Africans are starting to get into rugby and there's a Zulu rugby team who also do a war dance. Would be interesting to put them into the mix!
+Polish Mybolo I'm a bit surprised by that as the Zulus are very famous for their warrior tradition and they have their own war dances! I wouldn't have thought they'd need to borrow from the Pacific Islanders.
Gentlemen, I am from South Africa and seeing this made my spine tingle, being of Zulu descent I can say Big up to both sides for remembering who they are and their warrior roots! Maori or Aborigini, CLASSIC!!!!!
im Maori but i have huge respect for the Aboriginal people. im not too sure about these Maori clowns bashing the Aboriginals so just please excuse their uneducated comments. To the Aboriginals badmouthing Maori it was probably provoked so no hate here, if not then fairdinkum. Nothing but love here our other indigenous cuzzies
Bryon Bahr Ah rugby a sport with so much violence & blood in it makes American footballers (grid iron players as they're called in Australia & New Zealand). Wince & whimper in sympathy for the men playing. *Really* tight shorts, & if your playing against Australia or New Zealand a mandatory dance number. What's not to love. 😅
I've never seen so much racism in the comments section. It blows my mind to think think that a somewhat intelligent race can still be filled with so much hate towards one another. We are all human.
Nolo245 Yeah. It's sickening. You'd think that we'd learn as a species from the past. Racism didn't bring anything good to anyone. Just misery and fear. On the other side of the spectrum, look how many good things we've accomplished working together a humans undivided by race. I bet any sum of money that if you'd take someone from 50 60 years ago and bring them today, their mind would not be able to cope with how much we've evolved in such a short span of time. Conversely, bring any man from our times back then, and you'd have a hard time understanding how much hate was thrown around for nothing but greed and petty things. Maybe in a few more decades, our children will learn better than to heed to the old people still lighting up fires here and there. Sigh.
+Nolo245 because what there doing is activating everyones racism, two different races looking and acting like they want to kill each other like we are still living in caves
I think it's more about the culture history of having a war cry and applying to the sport. It opens up conversation about each culture and traditions. In the past, yes it meant war but in this situation, it's more for the competitive sport than racism. There's no hate here just pride, love, and competition. Football players usually all hang out together at a point.
I have never seen the aboriginal war cry before even though i have worked with them for many years as a Youth Worker,i am a Sixth Generation Australian from convict heritage and it sent chills down my spine how Proud i was of these young men.
Kiri MacDonald-Nepe Apatu Indigenous brothers and sisters. We respect your support and always got your backs too. Currently in Canada studying their indigenous people at the moment and loving it, so fascinating. It’s really only a relationship other black fullas can understand
I am less than a quarter indigenous (Jack Dempsey is my great great grandfather) so I don't count myself as indigenous. this does not mean I don't respect the aboriginal culture. In fact power to you all. I can't count the times I have had to put another gubba in their place because of their insolence.
Makes me proud to be a Pacific Islander from Oceania. We are always proud of our cultures and always try to incorporate it into sports, church and anything really. Good to see New Zealand and Australia our two biggest nations showing respect to our indigenous culture, keep it up.
I always loved the Haka and I have no problem with Aboriginal Australian culture either. There's a lot of stupid comments being made about which culture is better when both are equally important to people of either respective heritage. Also just because some white people are racist dickheads doesn't mean that there aren't others with black friends and family. Native peoples of Oz and NZ experience daily racism just as indigenous folk do everywhere else (including USA). But there are also many non-indigenous people who value them and will join them in their fight against this racism.
Shane Gooding..you're a wise man...free from discrimination and racial hatred...like you im also truly FREE!! any kind of hatred only eats away at that specific individual heart.. as humans we need to respect others cultures and traditions
I really have to stop watching these at bedtime, I don’t understand a word, but the emotion is so strong that it gets me fired up,or bawling like a baby! I love learning about other cultures
Can you imagine either of these teams facing off with a United States bunch of millennials sport team from an uber liberal college? They'd run to their "safe" zone and call mommy then file a lawsuit for intimidation and mental stress. Imagine an NFL team adopting the Haka, there'd be cries of insensitivity by the usual suspects in our society.
+TJ Fiso The Haka is cool. It is admirable to have a tradition that brings a whole team together in a language that only they can understand. We are undergoing an underbelly of pussification in the US.
Mike Stempo I think you are overplaying how "pussified" the US is. I don't think you give millennials or "uber liberals" enough credit. "usual suspects in our society" meaning who exactly?
absolutely loved this ❤❤❤ i am Australian but in the generation that were taught the white side of indigenous culture but the more i have taught myself, the more proud i am to be an Australian now. There is now hope that thousands of years of culture can be brought back to being a priority for all Australians to be proud of, especially the first Australians xx Hold your heads high, you deserve respect and peace 😗
Big respect to the NZ Maori team , who don't need a culture group to do their haka. By far the best haka I've seen , Kia Toa & Kia Kaha boys Tumeke !!!
Pity that our culture has been nearly wiped out and the war cry you see here isn't the real war cry, it's what we've imagine it to be. Even my own language is lost. We were hit hard during the massacres- there are only a few of us left. Stay strong sis ❤💛🖤
@Kapt'n Pee You just contradicted yourself. If there's so many different tribes, then the "new" customs you're seeing are just from a different tribe every year. But please, keep expressing your dislike for indigenous people.
Are you serious? The Australian Frontier Wars and the Black War? The Aboriginals fought for over 100 years. No disrespect to the Maoris, but it took Europeans much longer to 100% overtake Australia than it took to take New Zealand. Far out bro, don't be a dog to the Aboriginals, Australians aren't dog cunts to the Maoris
I use to live in Adelaide (Now in New Zealand) man so I do have some insight. I am in NO WAY implying anything to do with their 'mannerism' and attitudes.. BUT.. Facts are facts. Europeans took over all of Australia from Arnhem land to Kaurrna Plains mate. Aboriginals are noted for their peaceful behavior; unlike their Maori counter-parts. (I am not a 'dog cunts' as you quoted) I am just telling you the truth.. Heck even ask some of the Aboriginal leaders, they use to tell their mob of Maori people being viscous and all. In fact, an Aboriginal I knew back in Adelaide told me that their old stories use to consist of what the Maoris did. But no way does it make them less 'warrior' than the Maoris mate. Its just what it is.. Don't compare oranges to bikes, it useless. Peace!
I think Australia could learn a lot from our Kiwi neighbours about how to embrace local indigenous culture and assimilate it into Anglo culture the same way we have forced Anglo assimilation onto the Indigenous. I'm sure NZ has its haters and people who are steadfast to Anglo traditions and maintain their prejudice, but NZ has done a far better job of embracing Maori and Polynesian ideals than Australia has, who keep treating indigenous culture as unimportant, forgettable and maintain an unhealthy apathy and dislike of local aboriginals thanks to hard-held sterotypes bought on from colonial ideals and bias.
True story my bro. I'm from nz but lived in Sydney 11 years now. Now I realise how good of a job nz done. Like back Home we all know basic Maori from school and have a decent understanding of their culture. Here in Australia, ask anyone how do you say hi in any aboriginal dialect. . . They look all stunned qnd scratching their head like "ummm, fcuk knows?)
Love this. Australian Aboriginals were not weak because they didn't often wage war. If only all of humanity was so strong there wouldn't be so much fighting, trouble and greed in the world. They are the best players in one of the world toughest games, so give some respect morons.
We had been warring bro and we where once pretty good about you know the saying " you will never know the violence it took for me to be this peaceful" is simply what we are about we a very ancient history that is older than what the whites say (60k yrs) what the whites did to us is karma for what we have done
I would have loved to see these to teams perform in person, with Ancestral honors in front of a live audience. This would of been an honor for me as Maori. Love from New Zealand
Its about time Australia aloud our native brothers ,,indigenous people of Australia to show there talent , and talent they got mean war dance, and there war paint makes them the true Australians
American sports are so weak compared to the rest of the world. And this is coming from an American! I wish us Americans had something as intimidating as this... Sure, it's quaint and Americans will probably think it's silly, but to be in the arena/stadium when a Haka or Aboriginal War Cry is going on would just pump you up. Very badass lol
Insaint Bear Yes. I know the Liberal media would demonize something like that, and I know that people in the USA are way too divided to do that, but I think it would be awesome. When I see New Zealanders of all different races performing a Haka, I get the sense that they have a much greater sense of unity than Americans do. If an American sports team tried to do a Native American war dance, there'd be cries of racism all over the news.
SFxTAGG3 Certainly more entertaining than watching a "pumfled" up chick trying to keep up with the recording...or whatever they do these days. Stopped watching, too much wank and corruption. Too little play. I mostly watch on RU-vid for the things that everyone says were amazing in the game.
SFxTAGG3 Its a game/sport. Stop taking it like its some "War". Its silly and over the top. Yeah its fun to look at a few times, but after a while its just silliness.
First time I have ever seen the haka properly met. And soundly too.. The Moldi seemed as surprised thereby as anyone. The Indigenous peoples of Australia have a very powerful and ancient culture of their own, wherein ceremony is a huge part thereof, and they were no strangers to war and hardship, by any means. Awesome vid.
Tony Muir not smashed, it was only couple tries in it. Just FYI. The kiwi squad that played n the game after this had about 12 players with Maori heritage.
Kapt'n Pee My people the most hated in their own country and the world. I honestly wonder why? Usually when people hate on someone it’s becoz the other person has what they want!! You’d think after everything the oppressors put us through, we should not be here. Yet We still going strong “with the alcohol in hand.” I don’t drink but hey I’m black so I must right!!! Now if whitey been through half of the shit we have and still continue to go through he would have killed himself (doing all a favour) Your race is the weakest worldwide that’s why yous try so had to keep the black man, woman and child down.
@@australianoriginal1321 Saying "the white race" you're implying that ALL whites are against blacks which is rubbish. Most of my friends are Murri people and my husband was a Maori. After saying that, it stands to reason all whites aren't tarred with the same brush and all blacks aren't as racist as you. Kia ora.
I am from Europe. It is strange to see something like this but i like it. Everybody has another culture, we must respect each other. The polynesian are special people
@Kapt'n Pee Rape, murder, enslavement, children stolen, torture, land stolen, annihilation in tasmania, culture just about destroyed. Please describe worse ya ignoramus.
Great display of culture, Much respect to both! Native people of there lands need to show more culture and pride like these 2 teams! Great to see the aboriginal people grasping this opertunity would love to see more In Australian sports.. Sad but tru the europian culture has supressed and manipulated soo many countrys out of there beutiful culture and ways, its very sad too see that this is not a comman thing
Wow - racism is still strong and well amongst the Australians. I find some of these comments appalling. but small minded people with no insight tend to flock together and rubbish other people to make themselves feel better about their obvious failings. this was a great display, and nice to see some Aboriginal traditions in response to the Kiwis. I love the haka, etc, but I also loved the response in this video.
