Should We keep The Haka Or Not?

We have been working on thinking about why we should keep the Haka. We
were also given a task to write about it.


The All Blacks' haka is a marketing ploy and 'insulting' to Māori ...
Should we Keep the Haka or not? Has anyone thought about why the Haka is important
in Rugby games?Why do we do it? I did some research and I’ll tell you all about what I
found out in the paragraphs below. 


The first thing I found out is that the Haka is an ancient war dance, traditionally used
on the battlefield, as well as when groups came together in peace. Haka are a fierce
display of a tribe's pride, strength and unity. Haka is an important ancient dance to the
Maori Culture. Have you seen the all blacks do the Haka every time before a game?
Well, yes they do that to show their opponents that they're ready to take them on, it can
also be used to irritate their opponents.


Even today, the Haka is still used during Maori celebrations and to honor guests or
them to show the importance of the occasion. Including Family Events, birthdays and
Weddings. So I would say Yes we should keep the Haka.

    I really like your post because you have given a lot of information to the reader.
    Maybe next time you could work on your formatting.
    The words go off of the side of the screen but that's OK.
    Keep up the great work!

    I defiantly agree with you.We should keep the Haka its very important in New Zealand.
    Next time make sure you preview your work before publishing it because I can't read half of your writing but it's always interesting to see everyone's opinion.
    Keep it up!
