Im Maori and watching that aboriginal war cry was awesome . 2019 and both teams still respect there ancestral heritage, even though for so long it was forced upon them to forget it all,...ka mau te wehi
I am neither Maori or Aboriginal. I am full Tongan from the States and I love this show of respect and class between both sides. As proud as I am to be American, I NEVER forget where my blood and heritage comes from!!! Tama Tonga eni ia!! Ofa lahi atu to you all from your brother in the USA!!!
I've always been envious growing up in Aust feeling like we lack a cultural heritage because we are such a young nation. But now that we are finally starting to embrace our Aboriginal roots the pride I feel has filled that void. Now only if we as a nation can fully embrace ALL our brothers and sisters as a people too
If you wana embrace the Indigenous culture then its starts with the Federal and state governments.Australia just picks and chooses when it wants to embrace indigenous culture.
I appreciate the comments understanding us as indigenous people on an indigenous event should not have to do so let us celebrate our culture when things like this happen sign of respect and appreciation from the western culture also much love NZ brothers and sisters was a great game
@@ruboyhsv7436 much love bro was a great game, wish i could say something in aboriginal but kinda hard to find the language and my little sis is from NZ and a lot of friends i have are as well, i have a lot of respect and appreciation towards your people and times like these make me happy we unite to showcase our talent, love and respect for one anothers culture need more events like this honestly
@@ruboyhsv7436 that is the maddest thing i read and your rigjt brother what ya say is real, Nz love my brothers and sisters abroud love them all we are all people at the end of the day
I'm a Maori and I fell the indigenous of Australia should ditch the kangaroos and take this team to the international stage I'm sick of seeing Australia mistreat the insidious people , taking there best international players will sure teach them a lesson
Outstanding !. Australia needs to do so much better !!! As an ex Aussie Soldier i feel ashamed seeing Australians turn their back in the Anthem however fully understand as they have been ignored for years. I hope one day Australia can be united
Able to represent the Indigenous All-Stars through his dad, and able to represent Māori All-Stars through his Mom. Has represented both, as a matter of fact.
I appreciate that these 2 rich and diverse cultures can come together and celebrate their individual identies and respect each other. I canna say the same for some of the racist bigoted statements from some of the commentors. Seriously, you have no shame!
Because a Haka is much more then just a war cry. There are many many differnet types of hakas for sports, challenges, weddings, funerals, greetings, heaps of schools in NZ have their own Haka, all different Hapus of different tribes have their own Haka. I hate comparing cultures like this but, an Indigenous war cry does not the same 'type' of significance as a Haka does. There isn't really an appropriate comparison in other cultures. You'll find that most peoples are copying the Maori and there Haka, when they perform something like this. Samoa and Tonga have their own similar tradition. But it is very much based on the Maori Haka. The Haka is an integral part of Maori culture. An indigenous war cry is in no way similar or comparable to the Maori Haka in both cultural significance and meaning. Its pretty much just for the spectacle of sport. and specifically this exact NRL All Stars game.
JJ PRODUCTIONZ There’s many different types of haka bro and contrary to popular belief, they weren’t all used for war. If you want to be picky about it, whilst it looks good on TV, these guys are actually not performing it correctly at all. They are performing a haka taparahi, a haka which is meant to be a very disciplined and restrained in action. These haka were traditionally used before battle, often performed by a war party in front of their own tribe before heading out to battle. The idea was to show unity and strength but most importantly, discipline and obedience. Elders and tohunga (priests) would judge the performances and if a warrior was too out of touch with the unity of the haka, then they would not be allowed to go. At the beginning of the haka where you see them line up and them all performing pūkana etc, this would traditionally not have been done. They would have waited for the call from their kaitātaki to signal what to do. It looks cool on a sports field but in a historical context and in a general kapa haka context, it looks really disjointed.
Proud to be a blackfella (me Grandma is abo) . Our black Brothers from up North put the fear to the maori's as they were frighten by the Aboriginal War Cry !! "Big" Bruce Warranjandee Aboriginal elder Hobart , Tasmania .
Still blows me away Australia hasn't embraced their culture, and all sports teams perform their own lands war cry, I'm a kiwi, and i always love to see aboriginals showcase their culture...
The famous Aboriginal War by our black brothers showed these maoris how it's done. Look at the fear on there faces as the maori's retreated and and flew the white flag of surrender !!!!!🤗🤗 "Big" Bruce Tasmanian Aboriginal elder World Oyama Karate Do Practioner
I love australia and love Australian culture and Australian National Anthem a lot of Respect But i was wondering , How hard it would be if they would have Sang Aborignal song too.
Many of them refuse to sing out of respect for their culture. The anthem doesn't represent their people but the people who took their lands, stole their families and tried to destroy their culture
Anonymous Person Funny you say that when half the nrl players have abo blood in them ! So stop being a fucken dickhead and treat you’re indigenous people with respect 🤦🏽♂️😡
Serious question. The Maori really did do the haka (lots of different haka) in history. My question is did aboriginals do a war cry? Or are the copying riding on the popularity and respect of the haka?
Yeah man the aboriginals did have a war cry ..if there was a simple dispute between members from different tribes they would normally sort it out 1v1 or the head of the clan / tribe would punish there own if they had crossed the line & disrespected another aboriginal either from there own or another tribe ..but if tribal law was broken between tribe's they would go to war and both tribes would have a war cry as a declaration of war
How would you now mate are you and Australian aboriginal ? Or are you just a jealous hater ? I no for a FACT that is true %110 I no of countless tribes in Australia that had & still have songs lines/ war cry's for war they also had specific paint ups for war meaning they would use certain colours and designs when going to war ..for example my people the noonuccal tribe of quandamooka would paint them selves all black with charcoal and use red ocre to paint there nose ..this represents maroochy/ the black swan our Bird of war..this paint up was only ever used in times of war and with that our songs / war cry's ..so you should just hang your head in shame you fool..you no nothing of our culture nobody does because the whole purpose of the white man was to eliminate our culture..so tell me do you think the same people that tried to eliminate my people & culture would document or do anything to preserve it ??? No that's right our elders keep our culture and pass it on like they have done for thousands of years..so you just be quite now and I'm happy I could teach you about my culture
@@50c4lst8 All these so called "war dances/cries" the Indigenous team are doing now are modern creations invented purely for entertainment purposes. They are not linked to any tribes whatsoever. Stop LYING. Aboriginals were not of a warrior race like the Polynesians/South Pacific islanders.. but rather just hunter/gatherers, you can stop pretending now. Lel
