Talk:Haka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The origin of the haka needs expansion - the character of Tāne-rore as a personification of heat shimmer, represented by the quivering hands of the performers, should be added. We also need the story of Tinirau and Kae, which includes an account of the first haka performance.
Could I encourage contributors on all things Māori to use the macron on long vowels of Māori words and names? These vowels should appear at the bottom of the page when you're editing.

Did the first performance of the new All Black haka take place at Jade Stadium in Christchurch? Since that time has Ka mate ever been used in the South Island? One problem with Ka mate was its link with Te Rauparaha's campaigns against Ngāi Tahu, the iwi (Māori tribe) of most of the South Island. This meant that its use in Ngāi Tahu territory was a breach of Māori protocol. —Copey 2 00:43, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- The first performance of Kapa O Pango was in the South Island, but not at Christchurch. It was at Carisbrook in Dunedin. Interesting point... — Dale Arnett 17:11, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Haka of the All Blacks
Just some random thoughts. There are (at least) three articles which deal with the All Blacks and their 2 haka. This one has info on the ABs and their new haka, and Ka Mate haka has info about the old haka, and there is more info at All Blacks. Does the info on the All Black haka(s) need to be moved to one place, or just be a section of the main AB article? And maybe a book like Haka! The Dance of a Noble People by Timoti Karetu could be used as source to round out this page with more info on the Maori uses and history of the haka. Kahuroa 19:52, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kapa O Pango
Expanding on the last comment, couldn't Kapa O Pango be spun off into its own article? The French Wikipedia has already done this. — Dale Arnett 15:19, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New Page created for the 2 AB haka
Since nobody objected in the month since I made the suggestion above. Allows this article to deal solely with the haka as a traditional part of Maori culture, and combines the scattered AB haka pages into one. Kahuroa 19:02, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
