I'm Tongan🇹🇴 & this song was always a hit in our house growing up. I still blust it now when spring cleaning the house. Such a beautiful Waiata😍 Makes me soo proud to live here in Aotearoa💚
Be a proud Māori no matter where you are in this big world stay hearty our ancestors fought for us you owe it to them to stay staunch & represent for our people & our/your Land!!! No matter your upbringing be the change for YOU, your Whanau & your tamiriki
I remember my friends would call me a wannabe Maori when listening to this just coz I’m Samoan, and then I find them blasting this at their drink up 😂🤣 Snapped lol good times
My younger sister and I were the only ones in our whanau born in Aus but we all grew up listening to these songs it helps bring me back to my roots when I’m feeling homesick I’ve always been called Roo taane by some of my hoha cuzzies back home (they don’t call my sister anything bc I’ve already shown them what would happen) so I get you with that bro but being Samoan, Tongan, Fijian anything! Doesn’t mean you can’t embrace the cultural similarities we share, technically I’m considered Australian(I think) but I’ve always felt I know my roots but embrace what I was born which has been another flex 💪🏾 from where I’ve lived in Aus apparently we’re breed rough in the red centre lol
Getting stoned during quarantine, wondering what it would've been like for our ancestors before the pakehas came. I can imagine us telling crack up jokes in Maori, because every Maoris a comedian tbh lol. Our wahine would've been dancing and singing with their gracious moves and angelic harmonys and vocals, waiting for the hangi to get pulled up while we practice our hakas and carve out taiahas etc 😍 I'm only 30 but I always think about our ancestor's. Grateful for what they tried to do for us. Arohanui x Kia Ora
Definitely not racist though. I'm just wondering how they lived their lives prior to the pakeha coming. I know they were having little tribe wars, but in their spare time, while they were tryna kill time.
My mum told me i should of been born in the old times coz I was a troublesome fulla she says sometimes I wish I was coz I would of ran amok with my ancestors in the Masket Wars
2022 still a great waiata, such a powerful and beautiful just shows the passion and talent our brothers and sisters have blessed to be able to listen to this one a classic indeed
As coastie from Rangitukia this song was dedicated to the late Ngoi Pewhairangi from tolaga bay East coast her grand daughter Cara Pewhairangi sings haere Mai a song I use to sing at Ngata memorial college back in the 90s
@@Markyboyk judging by his name and profile picture, I assume he is our black brotha from the states. However I could be mistaking, as I know quite a few Māori-Afrika/Jamaican mixes
@lawnmowerX You're our bosom friend always going full throttle to help this younger generation with the task Oh Ngoi of listening to the Maori language. In the thudding of the poi Oh Ngoi in the men's stamping Oh Ngoi in the rhythm of our language. Beautiful Ngoi NGOI NGOI with a heart of gold NGOI NGOI Dedicated Ngoi NGOI NGOI Our constant friend NGOI
I was brought up in patea I went to patea primary school when I was young I lived with my nanny and her mum they both gone now 😢😢Kei te moi koutou miss them
Nostalgia spew‼️ This song along with many other Maori waiata really help soothe that missing “home” feel. Crazy how they’re engrained into us from early years planting that essence of whanau gatherings. The marae mindset, everyone had their “roles” to play and it worked unlike after the kai and all us tamariki getting hoha with each other over who’s doing what. It was a good way to learn how to get shit done fast and easy THEN the real fun begins as the adults break out their eskies n guitars while we laid the mattresses throughout the living room, tv/movies/video games and the snacks that we only got on blue moons. Was just listening to Princess Tui Teka and Dennis Marsh eventually leading me to this vid. I don’t feel so alone but my cup does need filling. Might round the whans up for a Kai I rkn. Churr you mob stay Māori CHEEEEHOOOOOO!
❤❤❤I always love this 🎵 song cause I am a Cook Islander and have NZ maori connection through my late mother from Tauranga over 100 years ago Ngati Kahu
It's a beautiful waiata(song) celebrating and giving thanks to atua(Legend,God, Spirit) Ngoi Pewhairangi for all the effort she has put in to restoring Te Reo Māori(The Māori language) for our youth and future generations to come.
