Maori

The native people of Aotearoa. They are a proud race rich in culture and tradition. One of the last Polynesian (if not World) nations to settle. They are the Hawaiians of the South Pacific in the fact that they were also overrun by White people and live under their rule.

The haka is one of the only remaining cultural traditions Maori have. People everywhere from Aotearoa to Hawaii to even the mainland U.S. perform it not to discrace it, but to sustain it's cultural value.

It's a part of life--shit happens. It's the way that you overcome these obstacles as a people and carry on in life and the future that's often the hard but most important part.
