My New Zealand – The Haka
This video is of the New Zealand All Blacks doing the Haka, a traditional Maori War dance. My Dad used to do the Haka at rugby games when I was a little girl. He played some pretty hard core rugby in new Zealand before coming to Canada.
The haka as composed by Te Rauparaha begins with a chant:
- Kikiki kakaka kauana!
- Kei waniwania taku tara
- Kei tarawahia, kei te rua i te kerokero!
- He pounga rahui te uira ka rarapa;
- Ketekete kau ana to peru kairiri
- Mau au e koro e – Hi! Ha!
- Ka wehi au ka matakana,
- Ko wai te tangata kia rere ure?
- Tirohanga ngā rua rerarera
- Ngā rua kuri kakanui i raro! Aha ha!
Then follows the main body of the haka:
Ka mate, ka mate! ka ora! ka ora!
Ka mate! ka mate! ka ora! ka ora! Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru Nāna nei i tiki mai whakawhiti te rā Ā, upane! ka upane! Ā, upane, ka upane, whiti te ra! |
’Tis death! ‘tis death! (or: I may die) ’Tis life! ‘tis life! (or: I may live)
’Tis death! ‘tis death! ’Tis life! ‘tis life! This the hairy man that stands here… …who brought the sun and caused it to shine A step upward, another step upward! A step upward, another… the Sun shines! |

♥ Short Story: My FIDO Casting Tour Experience
Q: Please tell me everything you can recall about the FIDO Casting Tour at Yonge & Dundas Square.
A: As I was looking with curiosity, a young girl stopped me on the sidewalk to fill out a short survey that would allow me eligibility to win $500. And of course, I welcomed the opportunity. After, I walked past the diaplay and gave my boyfriend a big kiss as he went back to work after lunch. I however, was curious to see what was going on with this truck, the people, and all the cute FIDO Dog photos. As I approached the front of the display I was welcomed by two friendly young men who asked if I wanted to have my picture taken for FIDO. I thought to myself, “I love having my picture taken!”, and walked up the stairs with a smile . I saw a crouded little studio as a man with a camera and a nice girl showed me to the far right side where there was a clean white background. He explained that he was going to ask me to show a bunch of expressions and I said with excement, “how fun!!”. I went throught happy, sad, angry, lonley, and excited. It was clear after viewing that EXCITED was my most pure expression. We chose my face to be matched with that of a playfull puppy and I thanked them for taking my photo. There was a big line to match your photo to a dog face on the spot and I close to have it sent via email and do the match at home. There are heaps of photos to match your face to and I believe it was over 5,000. With a smile, I told the boys outside to watch for my face as I walked into the sunshine and took a refreshing breath of cold air.
