The haka is the traditional war dance of the Māori, the indigenous people of New Zealand. It was made famous by the All Blacks rugby team. Now is your chance to learn this well-known, enlivening and invigorating dance and experience the power of this cultural phenomenon.
Ko te manu e kai ana i te miro, nōna te ngāhere. Ko te manu e kai ana i te mātauranga, nōna te ao.
The bird that feasts on the miro berry owns the forest. The bird that feasts on knowledge, owns the world.
