New Zealand reclaims document for largest haka dance By Reuters

WELLINGTON (Reuters) – New Zealand has set the world document for the most individuals to carry out a haka, a conventional dance of the nation’s indigenous Maori, reclaiming the title from France.

An announcement by Auckland’s Eden Park, which hosted the document try on Sunday, mentioned 6,531 individuals had carried out Ka Mate, the haka, which surpassed the present document of 4,028 individuals, held by France since 2014.

“Haka is an important part of our culture and returning the mana (prestige) of this world record away from the French and back to the land of its origins and ensuring it was performed correctly and with integrity was vital,” Hinewehi Mohi, cultural ambassador for HAKA and co-founder of the Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust, told New Zealand’s 1News.

The haka, a customary dance by Maori, was traditionally a way to welcome visiting tribes or to invigorate warriors ahead of battle. It is now performed at important events and is the most well-known as part of the New Zealand rugby teams pre-game ritual.

There are many haka but the one performed at the world record attempt is the most well-known and was composed around 1920 by Te Rauparaha, chief of Ngati Toa iwi or tribe.

Event organisers had hoped at least 10,000 participants would attend the event, which was also fundraising for Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust.

Nick Sautner, Eden Park chief executive, said watching thousands of passionate New Zealanders from young children to elders perform Ka Mate at the stadium was a truly memorable moment.

“It’s more than just numbers – it’s about honouring our cultural legacy on a global stage,” Sautner said in a statement released late Sunday.

Almost 1 million of New Zealand’s 5.2 million population have Maori ancestry.
