What exactly is the Maori Haka? I saw a video of Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke performing a "haka" as she was delivering her maiden speech to parliament, becoming the youngest MP in more than 170 years.
The Haka in Maori Legend:
"There are many Maori legends to suggest where the Haka came from, but one common legend is that of the sun god, Tama-te-nui-ra. His summer maid, Hine-raumati, made the air seem to dance and quiver on hot days. This is reflected in the quivering motion that haka performers do with their hands."
"It was a way to summon the god of war, and to warn the enemy of the fate that awaited him. This haka was danced with fierce facial expressions - grimaces, stuck out tongue, bulging eyes, grunts and screams, waving the weapons of war."
Here is Jason Momoa performing "haka" 5 years ago:
