(Let the sunshine in!) Hī! (Rise!) Being born in India, Rugby was a relatively unknown sport to me until my High School. One day duringmy summer vacations, while scrolling through the TV sports channels, I found something terrifying. A group of heavyweights with extremelymuscular limbs who were wearing an all black jersey with their eyes wide opened and tongue out looking like monsters with vigorous movements like slapping of hands vigorously on their body and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment, in a big ground being watched and applauded by the crowd in the stadium and with their opponents (war opponents?) watching them visibly terrified. The act was new to me, and as a 15-year-old who watched it, I got frightened, tensed and thought what it was all about. After some time, the match, that was relatively not known to me, began. Although the game looked like football, the players who carried an oval ball in their hand were physically and brutally tackled by the opponent players. The player who had the ball passed the ball to his team members and together they moved towards the opponent’s goal post that was visibly taller than the goal posts in traditional football. Although I lost interest watching the game soon and flipped through the channel, the memories of that dance (or was that a war cry?) remained in my mind for long. On googling it later, I found out that what I had witnessed was Haka,performed by the great Rugby team of New Zealand. A haka is a traditional ancestral war cry, dance or challenge of the Māori people of New Zealand which the New Zealand national rugby union team, the "All Blacks" perform before their international matches.It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment. Performed by the national side before every kick-off, the dance involves the stamping of feet, slapping of hands on the body and several facial contortions involving the tongue and eyes.It generally begins with the words: "Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!", which means: "I die! I die! I live! I live!" It was first performed by the New Zealand Native rugby team in 1888 and 1889.Up until 1986 it was only used by the All Blacks at away matches, but it is now an integral part of their pre-match ritual for every game.The haka is enjoyed by spectators, andis considered to be an attempt to intimidate the opposition before the match begins. Apart from frightening the opponents, Haka bonds the New Zealand Rugby team psychologically and physically in to a tight unit. It makes the team feel connected and builds rapport. For many All Blacks fans, it is a matter of pride and culture and about a challenge to their opposition and for all the Rugby fans in the world, the Haka does bring some drama to the game. The fact that Haka gives an edge for the All Blacks can be proved by the fact that they are the most successful team in the history of Rugby Union. Below are few YouTube links of the entertaining Haka performed by the All Blacks Team.

  • Page Auē Le Oti: Samoan Death Rituals in a New Zealand Context. Abstract
    Auē le oti: Samoan death rituals in a New Zealand context. Byron Malaela Sotiata Seiuli1 University of Waikato Abstract Given that dialogue relating to death and grief for many Samoans still remains in the realm of tapu (sacred) or sā (protected), few attempts have been made by researchers of Samoan heritage to understand whether the cultural contexts for enacting associated rituals might also provide avenues for healing. Psychological scholarship on recovery following death, particularly among men, is largely based on dominant western perspectives that continue to privilege both clinical and ethnocentric perspectives as the norm. This case presentation, which forms part of a larger doctoral research by the author, demonstrates that some Samoan end-of-life rituals opens space for greater consideration of recovery from death as a culturally-defined process. In many instances, instead of severing ties with the deceased person as is popular in clinical approaches to grief work, Samoan grief resolution strongly endorses continued connections through its mourning patterns. Their end-of-life enactment helps to transition the deceased from this life to the next, while drawing the living together. Critically, the performance and maintenance of such important tasks create space for heaving emotions to be calmed, where meaning is made, and where the lives of those impacted are slowly restored. Some of these familiar rituals offer therapeutic value, enabling Samoans involved in this study to walk hand-in-hand with their emotional distress, while

  • Indigenous Cultures and Trademarks
    WTR_39 Paginated - 2_WTR 28/08/2012 13:48 Page 49 Feature By Tracey L Mosley Getting expressive – indigenous cultures and trademarks As efforts continue to develop protection for traditional cultural expressions, brand owners need to ensure they are tracking the latest legal developments as they develop new trademarks and brands Imperfect for the task though they may be, the basic concepts of trademark law may provide a route towards recognition and protection for the traditional cultural expressions (TCEs) of indigenous peoples. TCEs, along with traditional knowledge (ie, cultural practices and knowledge handed down from one generation of a group of indigenous people to the next) and genetic resources (ie, natural resources located on, above or below the land traditionally inhabited by indigenous peoples), have increased in profile due to their morally sensitive nature and the prospective changes that their recognition and enforcement may bring to IP laws. This article addresses TCEs in the context of trademark law. Defining TCEs and trademarks Firmly defining ‘TCEs’ (which are sometimes referred to as ‘expressions of folklore’) is impossible because they represent knowledge that can be sacred and ancient, as well as being rooted in skills or practices handed down inter-generationally, not for the purpose of personal or commercial gain, but rather to sustain identity and support family and community. The World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) describes TCEs as including “music, art, designs, names, signs and symbols, performances, architectural forms, handicrafts and narratives” – parts of that description easily call to mind trademarks. In its narrowest legal interpretation, a ‘trademark’ is a mark that has been adopted by its use in association with a product or service for the purpose of distinguishing that product or service from the products or services of others.

  • The Misappropriation of the Haka: Are the Current Legal Protections Around Mātauranga Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand Sufficient?
    523 THE MISAPPROPRIATION OF THE HAKA: ARE THE CURRENT LEGAL PROTECTIONS AROUND MĀTAURANGA MĀORI IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND SUFFICIENT? Isabella Tekaumārua Wilson* This article analyses the protections the New Zealand intellectual property framework provides for the haka and mātauranga Māori. Part II of this article defines the key terms of "misappropriation", "traditional knowledge" and "mātauranga Māori" in order for the reader to fully understand these concepts in an indigenous, and specifically Māori, context. Part III of this article discusses the importance and significance of haka in Māori culture, particularly looking at the history and significance of Ka Mate, the most well-known haka in New Zealand and the world. Examples of different companies, both New Zealand and internationally-owned, using the haka for commercial benefit are analysed to establish whether or not their use of the haka is misappropriation, and if so, the harm this misappropriation has caused Māori. Part IV discusses the current legal protections New Zealand provides for mātauranga Māori and whether they sufficiently protect the haka and mātauranga Māori generally. It will assess the Haka Ka Mate Attribution Act 2014 as a case study. Part V outlines the limitations of the intellectual framework. Part VI of this article looks to what legal protections would be sufficient to protect against the misappropriation of the haka and mātauranga Māori generally. I INTRODUCTION Kua tae mai te wa, e whakapuru ai tatou i nga kowhao o te waka. The time has come where we must plug the holes in the canoe. * Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei and Waikato-Tainui. 524 (2020) 51 VUWLR All over the world, indigenous communities are seeking greater control of their culture.1 Māori culture has been suppressed in Aotearoa New Zealand for decades, and now, non-Māori businesses and individuals, in New Zealand and overseas, have begun to exploit Māori culture to promote and enhance their business dealings and sell their products.

    (UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII LIBRARY P E STRUCTURE CF TONGAN DANCE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION CF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII IN PARTIAL FUIFILDffiNT CF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE CF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ANTHROPOLOGY JUNE 1967 By _\G Adrienne L? Kaeppler Dissertation Committee: Alan Howard, Chairman Thomas W. Maretzki Roland W. Force Harold E. McCarthy Barbara B. Smith PREFACE One of the most conspicious features of Polynesian life and one that has continually drawn comments from explorers, missionaries, travelers, and anthropologists is the dance. These comments have ranged from outright condemnation, to enthusiastic appreciation. Seldom, however, has there been any attempt to understand or interpret dance in the total social context of the culture. Nor has there been any attempt to see dance as the people themselves see it or to delineate the structure of dance itself. Yet dance has the same features as any artifact and can thus be analyzed with regard both to its form and function. Anthropologists are cognizant of the fact that dance serves social functions, for example, Waterman (1962, p. 50) tells us that the role of the dance is the "revalidation and reaffirmation of the aesthetic, religious, and social values shared by a human society . the dance serves as a force for social cohesion and as a means to achieve the cultural continuity without which no human community can persist.” However, this has yet to be scientifically demonstrated for any Pacific Island society. In most general ethnographies dance has been passed off with remarks such as "various movements of the hands were used," or "they performed war dances." In short, systematic study or even satisfactory description of dance in the Pacific has been virtually neglected despite the significance of dance in the social relations of most island cultures.
