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

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.
