MĀORI ALL BLACK HAKA
One of the New Zealand Natives' legacies was the haka, a traditional Māori posture dance with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet, to the accompaniment of rhythmically shouted words; this was first performed during a match on 3 October 1888 against Surrey in England, United Kingdom.
The haka was later adopted by the New Zealand national team, the All Blacks. In 2001, the Māori first performed the "Timatanga" haka, which describes the evolution of life and the creation of New Zealand from the four winds. This was written especially for the New Zealand Māori team by team kaumātua (elder) Whetu Tipiwai.
It tells the Māori story of the creation from the void, the nothingness, the darkness to what we have today. It also tells of a gathering of young warriors, young chiefs, young rugby players who are making a statement and setting aims, objectives and strategies to achieve mātauranga (knowledge), whanaunatanga (unity) and taumatatanga (excellence).
Thehaka, a traditional dance of theMāori people, has been used in sports inNew Zealandand overseas. The challenge has been adopted by theNew Zealand national rugby union team, the "All Blacks", and a number of other New Zealand national teams perform before their international matches; some non-New Zealand sports teams have also adopted the haka.
"Ka Mate"
The All Blacks are believed to have first performed a choreographed and synchronized versionof the "Ka Mate" haka in 1905.
It is said that this Haka was composed byTe RauparahaofNgāti Toato commemorate his escape from death during an incident in 1810. Chased by his enemies, he hid in a food-storage pit under the skirt of a woman. He climbed out to find someone standing over him, who, instead of killing Te Rauparaha, turned out to be another chief friendly to him. In relief, Te Rauparaha performed this ancient haka, which had been performed all through New Zealand for centuries.
The story of Te Rauparaha was merely woven into several older stories about this haka, from a rope-hauling chant to beach a 14th century voyaging waka, a call for unity under one strong leader, and at the end of an erotic wedding-night chant, 'Kikiki Kakaka.' Ka Mate is still used today together with 'Toia Mai' to "haul the waka" of visitors onto a marae.

마오리 하카
위키백과, 우리 모두의 백과사전.
마오리 하카(Haka)는 뉴질랜드의 원주민 마오리족의 민족 춤이다. 원래는 원주민들과의 전쟁에서와 부족 간의 전쟁에서 자신의 힘이 강하다는 것을 보여 주기 위해서 하는 춤에서 비롯되었다.
전승에 의하면 올 블랙스(All Blacks)의 하카, 카 마테(Ka Mate)는 1810년에 가티트아 부족의 테 라우파라하 족장이 춤춘 것이다. 테라우파라하는 적에게 쫓겨, 지하의 식료품 창고에 도망쳐 숨어 있었다. 기어나와 보니 눈 앞에 사람이 있어 죽을 각오를 했지만, 다행스럽게 테 라우파라하와 친한 부족장이었다. 구출된 기쁨과 감사의 기분을 담아 춤춘 것이 카 마테이다.
스포츠
1905년 영국 원정 시에 올 블랙스(All Blacks)가 전쟁무 하카를 도입한 것을 시작으로 이후 대표 팀에 계승되게 된다. 리드 부분은 마오리의 혈통을 받는 선수가 담당했지만, 원래 올 블랙스의 타나 우마가는 마오리와 가까운 사모아 이민자의 자손이며, 주장으로 인정을 받았기 때문에 특별히 리드를 담당할 수 있었다. 그러한 관례는 현재는 없어졌고, 최근에는 대표팀의 주장이 담당하기도 한다. 럭비 대표팀의 하카는 크게 두 가지로 나뉘는데 카 마테(Ka Mate)와 카파 오 판고(Kapa o Pango)로 나뉜다.
