Kapa Haka, NPR
We perform haka as an expression of pride, says Karl Johnstone. Kapa haka, a traditional Māori posture dance, was about not only intimidating the opponents, but it was about how do we actually prevent degenerating into a battle he says. Haka is all about the expression of your inner energy. The shaking of the hands, says Johnstone, thats an expression of our life force its showing that theres an energy within you. Watch New Zealands Tuku Iho Living Legacy perform kapa haka at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. This New Zealand band is trying to save Māori culture one head banger at a time. n. pr, 2iTIVeJ Subscribe to NPR on YouTube: Follow NPR elsewhere, too: Twitter: Facebook: Instagram: Tumblr: Snapchat: https:
