For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Me Haka I te Haka a Tānerore?: Māori 'Post-War' Culture and the Place of Haka in Commemoration at Gallipoli Abstract This article is an extensive discussion from a Maori perspective into issues around the use of Maori cultural terms, in particular haka, to commemorate the fallen in WWI. Embedded in the article are key theories of cultural memory, 'war culture' and 'post-war culture'. The research outlines the differences between European and Indigenous war and post war cultural practices focusing on Maori. It seeks to understand the reluctance of Turkish officials to see haka being performed when it was apparently banned from ceremonies in 2005. It outlines the media reporting on the issue and the subsequent reintroduction of haka in August 2015 at the centenary of the Chunuk Bair battle.

    Ngā tapuwae o te haka – Māori perspectives on haka in sport Nicole Timu School of Physical Education, Sport and Exercise Sciences Te Kura Para-Whakawai Division of Sciences Te Rohe a Ahikaroa University of Otago Te Whare Wānanga o Otago PO Box 56, DUNEDIN NEW ZEALAND Ngā tapuwae o te haka – Māori perspectives on haka in sport Nicole Timu Supervisors Professor Steve Jackson and Dr Anne-Marie Jackson A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Physical Education at the University of Otago, Dunedin New Zealand 30 July 2018 ii Abstract The most prominent element of tikanga Māori which is consistently integrated, adopted and adapted into the sporting realm is haka. Haka has a multitude of meanings, as a ritual of encounter, as an expression of identity and a form of entertainment (Karetu, 1993; Armstrong, 2005). It is by far the most visible indigenous ritual and is often used alongside rugby to signify Aotearoa (New Zealand’s) national identity. Performances of haka have evolved over the years, predominantly due to associations of the haka ‘Ka Mate’ with the New Zealand All Blacks. Arguably, on a global stage haka is what makes New Zealanders instantly identifiable. But who benefits? Do the Kiwis who benefit? Is it the global spectator? The game of rugby? The commercial giants? Māori? Who? Moreover, at what expense are others benefiting from haka? A major source of contention surrounds the impact of globalisation. Issues such as misuse, commodification, appropriation, ownership, tokenism and a general lack of understanding about the customary practice, continues to surface both nationally and internationally.
