That's what I understand as well. People are thinking this is some kind of fight for the underdog, but actually it's not.
Funny thing they are part of the establishment too.
But I've only read a few things here and there. I certainly don't know the depth of it.
These tribal rituals are always pretty cool. You see them at sporting events and at other cultural situations, but I think in this case is being misused politically.

William Foster said:Meh, typically I would agree, but the better analogy would be Native American tribesmen and women increasing their ranks in congress over the years and conducting their own rituals in protest. Maybe a few screams, maybe a few good ol fashioned scalpings. And given that Natives went 65% for Trump, I'm not sure I would hate to see that.Tom Fox said:
Just a little preview of the legislature sessions when women and BIPOCS reach a critical mass.
Absolutely stunning and beautiful!
Maori were there for centuries before the white man. Can't say the same about the BIPOCS you mentioned.
And they lost, just like our natives.

The Maoris actually give a shi$ about the folks they are representing. And they are killing the bill, so they aren't just virtue signaling.
is that good for New Zealanders? Probably not. Why not give special considerations based on economics? If you're poor, you get X facilities for N amount of time. Why base it on ethnicity/race/caste/religion/sex for perpetuity?
Just another example why women should never be in charge of anything!

This is to protest a vote on a new law that would re-interpret New Zeland's founding documents.
As far as there's an haka no need for filibuster

This reminds me of the sculpture of Shukongojin in the Chicago Art Institute from the Kamakura Period in 12th-14th century Japan.
Shukongojin--also known as the Thunderbolt Deity--was a protector of the Law of Buddhism who used a vajra that symbolizes the power of wisdom to penetrate ignorance and destroy evil.
I hope Trump uses his vajra to Make America Great Again.
I am confused.Teslag said:

It appears everyone should be thanking Gaeilge oh his Haka Tuah post!

You mean like an A&M Yell Practice or a home football game?
We don't make stupid faces and slap ourselves in order to try (and fail) to make ourselves look scary.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
There was a time this stuff was kind of cool and interesting but it is way overplayed. Not to mention it was a terrible culture that believed in cannibalism of their enemies and we should all be thankful that the Brits put them down like the Spanish did to the Aztecs.Kozmozag said:
When they finished their dance is usually when the English would shoot them all.
Mainly it just makes me think of this now which is what the Brits did when they saw this stuff.

I know a Samoan man who insists that traditionally, the Haka wasn't considered to be properly done unless the man maintained an erection for the entirety of the dance.
Just an incredibly random fact for you and a note that this woman's Haka was improper.

Good for them to show their culture and dance for us.

I love a good Haka before a rugby match but on the floor? Whatever was on that paper must have been really bad
They killed the British "Colonizers" until the Brits cried Uncle.
As a result, the Maori's have equal rights in New Zealand. And in fact, I'd say even have an upper hand to a degree.

Make no mistake, those bruhs will kick your ass tooWilliam Foster said:This. I love a good Haka...but seeing a bunch of out of shape geriatrics in parliament do it is kind of awkward.Daddy-O5 said:Can we also admit that it's not quite as impactful when a 125lb female does it, compared to the aforementioned rugby players?

Now imagine going into a new world and your first step is to anally probe the beings of that new world.
That's not what happened.aggie93 said:There was a time this stuff was kind of cool and interesting but it is way overplayed.

The Maori's decided to let the Brits live.
And as far as I know, they might be the only indigenous group where that happened.
Its the traditional response of Maori wives when hubby neglected to take the garbage out like he promised.Hungry Ojos said:
Ok, I'm apparently in the dark here. What is the significance of this? What is a Haka?
