The Haka is the most iconic piece of NewT Zealand culture known in the world. Mainly because the All Blacks team perform it before every game. You may notice that they perform lots of different Hakas to different countries and on special occasions. For example, they perform a special haka for finals and semifinals, another for pacific countries, one for South Africa and another for the rest of the world.
The whole history and Geography of the Haka is not very clear. The meaning is deep in New Zealand culture. The old soldiers in the pacific island tribes would all perform their own Haka before battle. The Haka was used in order to rally the warriors together and to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies. The different hakas would have been designed by the tribal leaders and the village elders along with the warriors of the village. The Haka has been an inspiration to warriors, rugby players and others alike, it is a symbol of the old Maori culture in New Zealand and has lived on for centuries.
