1. these people made an art out of intimidation. 
2. this is the most native and best haka I've seen around :) love love
3. Yes, I will haka dance him till he dies of a heart attack.
4. Damn..... i was hoping you would go back and kick that preachers ass! 
5. SICKNESS itself!!!
6. SICKNESS itself!!!
7. Yea I agree the Maori have a very beautiful unique culture. Anyways I was bullshitting everyone with the entire Maori Africa thing. I mean come on "I would like to go to Ghana in South Africa to see the Maori people" that would require one really messed up sense of world geography.
8. dont get too offended. ive heard that story of the bellboy told before by others but different settings - maybe some porky pies were handed down from each generation
9. Ok, wow that was a mistake on his behalf. well now you know they are part of the Polynesian group that settled on many of the islands spread through the South Pacific and as far as Hawaii. If you ever get to travel you will find many of the traditional dances and even the culture of tatooing is similar in ways. A very beautiful culture.
10. Oh really? My Preacher always told me that they came from South Africa. You learn something new every day I guess.
11. LMFAO - Maori's come from New Zealand. That is too funny
12. I can't stop watching this awesomeness!!!! Idk how many times I had to come back to this video, but it never gets old! Why can't I be Maori???
13. Huh, no I'm not blind why would you think that? I was just saying that I would like to go to Ghana in South Africa to see the Maori people because I love their culture.
14. Africa??? wtf r u blind ?
15. Im maori and from English blood, my grandmothers anchestors (English side) ate the bell boy on their boat when it was shipwreaked, so i suppose i have cannabalism in both of my genes.....they where savage times have to see how far Maori's have come since those times.
16. Bro im maori and that shit disrespectful man, and ignorent remarks like that keep us in the 18th century, my best mates are white we all grew up together, You just giving us hard working Maori's a bad name, its 2012 bro get with it !!!!
17. Maori are kiwis too you crazy fuck, kiwi are native to Aotearoa. I think you mean the pakeha my brother. And besides that, even if we tried, we might have the muscle but they got the guns so they'd fuck us up. Im proud to be maori, proud of our past (cannibalism and all) but I think we're lucky the white man was kinder than we were. We killed and ate our enemies (ask the Moriori), the white man just took our land and gave us technology. Its possible to be a proud Maori AND a proud New Zealander
18. The Maori's should take back New Zealand by force. Get rid of the Kiwi scum that invaded that place centuries ago. Enough is enough. Kiwis have made life a living Hell for Maori for centuries IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY! What arrogance! Maori are warriors, pure and simple and could easily defeat Kiwis hand-to-hand. There's still hope yet
19. Ummm no they don't.Not any more
20. strong people , but i disrespect them cuz they eat people
21. and cannibals
22. jus look at their eyes n tongue!!! gosh!!! scares me!!
23. aff isso dá meedo kk
24. Fantastic video , thanks!
25. i'm turk but i love this culture :)

This is an excerpt from a 55 min documentary we have shot for PBS. For nearly 50,000 years, dances and songs have been an expression of Pacific Islanders' origins, their journeys, their struggles - their very existence. These are their dance stories. The program journeys to five cultures: Maori (New Zealand), Samoan, Palauan, Chamorro (Guam), Kanak (New Caledonia), ...
