Haka dance becomes the talk of the town after locals perform it to mourn the Christchurch shooting in New Zealand. Here is an insight into the history of Haka dance. | The Centrum Media

The haka dance of the indigenous Māoris of New Zealand is a powerful sight to behold. This traditional tribal war cry/dance is designed to overawe opponents with a fierce display of unity and strength. It involves stomping of hand and feet, exaggerated facial expressions and loud rhythmic chanting poetically describing the tribe’s history. Haka is also used to honour guests or mark special events. New Zealand’s sports teams also perform it before matches. #ExpressionsWeek #NewZealand #Haka #trad
