Māori heavy metal dance: NZ Parliament


Māori Haka in NZ Parliament goes metal!
(Andre Antunes) Nov. 22, 2024: What the indigenous people of New Zealand, the Māori, are missing is metal. Auckland needs to rock. This would amp up their haka or traditional ceremonial dance, as delivered by their beautiful representative MP (Member of Parliament) Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, 21, in the midst of old white men who are not moved (but possibly terrified). Disorder will not be tolerated in the sacred halls of white governance over a land taken over and sacked of resources to profit Europe and Europeans.


(Cogito) The Māori are the indigenous people of Aotearoa (New Zealand). Famous for their haka, poi, and face tattoos, they're descended from Polynesians, the greatest voyagers the world has ever known. They hunted gigantic like mega-birds, terrified European colonialist invaders, and built a rich culture while isolated from the rest of the world. But who are they, what is their history, and what exactly is a Trojan Whale? #newzealand #maori

To help amplify their message, let's turn New Zealand's MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke's haka into a heavy metal song to add power to the message, starting with her maiden speech and culminating with the recent Māori parliament protest by supportive locals.
