Kapa Haka

The Haka is an iconic and legendary folk dance practiced by the Maori, and numerous other groups of Pacific Islanders. While the dance can come across as very intense or even violent, it has a sort of beautiful charm to it as well. This website will work to explore the historic origins of Kapa Haka, and look at its place in the topic of folklore and practices. In addition to the origins of the folk practice, this website will also look into the growing popularity and modern history of the Haka, and how it has begun to come into the mainstream media more and more, especially in the world of sports such as rugby, soccer, and American football.
