Talk:Haka in popular culture

Aotearoa
Aotearoa does not mean New Zealand, as stated on the main page.
 * It does mean New Zealand. Kahuroa 19:34, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Contradiction
In the "University of Hawaii Haka/Controversy" section we have a paragraph that contains the following:

"The haka also specifically mentions 'Aotearoa'..."

and then later on "(...Also the Warriors do not say "Aotearoa" or New Zealand when they perform their version)."

So which is it? If someone could find the text of the Haka the U of Hawaii team performed, perhaps we could cleanup this section.

Sounds like a poorly written article. The original haka (read here) contains 'Aotearoa', but the version performed by the UH Warriors do not. -JT 03:10, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Ka Panapana
Is Ka Panapana the Black Ferns' haka? I thought I'd better ask, because I've seen the Black Ferns' haka (when they played against Canada earlier this month) and I'm not sure if it's "Ka Panapana" or some other haka.

 * Maybe it's the Black Ferns version of "Kapa o Pango"? Nil Einne 16:31, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

BYU Haka controversy
I took the time to cleanup a section about the BYU Haka being perceived as offensive. This section is factually based, cites its sources, and is NPOV. This, and the previous section, have been removed several times by editors who often make sweeping changes to other BYU/LDS articles. I think the section uses NPOV language and is sympathetic to all involved. Changing the language is entirely possible, but this section is entirely relevent to how Haka is perceived in popular culture. Please, lets discuss this before it becomes an edit war.

William Lawson's
Added the section regarding the recent viral video for William Lawson's scotch. BruceWiley 04:27, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Spice Girls
Didn't the Spice Girls get criticised for doing a Haka? apparently only men were allowed to do it. Totnesmartin 21:40, 8 April 2007 (UTC) sanju.

Maui's haka in Moana
A few lines from Kapa o Pango seem to be what is used in the short haka by Maui in the Disney movie Moana (2016 film). This seems to be true but someone should find a confirming reference before including a comment about it. Seems significant regarding the knowledge of it in popular culture. YouTube clip The part of it that is used is the following, with only part of the last line as it is drowned out/cut off.
