Perform traditional Maori warrior salute for fallen comrades. Pretty intense.

Wouldn't be allow here in The States.Not political correct and tribalism which is considered taboo in our multicultural System now.

Yet it was a good send off for their fallen comrades.

I get goose bumps every time I see a Haka. This is the first one that brought a tear to my eye though. Thanks for posting it.

one nice touch at my best friends funeral was a bagpiper graveside...did his thing and then turned away playing and the sound faded away..big burly bearded kilted really looked the part too...

Thank you for sharing that. I have not seen one before. How very fitting for fallen comrades.

Doc

I have seen it done in person but not at a funeral. It is impressive when the performers really get into it psychologically and have their "war faces" on.

Stirring.

Thank you.

Very moving. Thank you for sharing.

Powerful is the word I'd use. Their war faces were convincing to me.
