The traditional Haka dance at Stacey and Haans wedding on the weekend! For those of you who dont know, the haka is a type of ancient Māori war dance traditionally used on the battlefield, as well as when groups came together in peace. Haka are a fierce display of a tribe’s pride, strength and unity. Actions include violent foot-stamping, tongue protrusions and rhythmic body slapping to accompany a loud chant. The words of a haka often poetically describe ancestors and events in the tribe’s history. Today, haka are still used during Māori ceremonies and celebrations to honour guests and show the importance of the occasion.
