...one of my friends has a Maori wedding ring...(...as in its a Maori tattooed ring as opposed to worn ring...)...it was tattooed by a Maori, even though she herself isn’t of Maori culture but many conversations of its cultural meaning took place before the ring was agreed....so I would fairly much agree with this...

'On the one hand, it's a great thing. On the other hand, I would love to have a conversation with them about what the haka means and what motivated them to do it,' Māori Council executive director Matthew Tukaki told Star News.

'It has to be done with true intent. It's not just something that's good for Instagram or social media,' Tukaki added for clarification.

...I think what the children did in their interpretation fine...but it would be nice to think that they know of the meaning of the Haka and appropriate times when it’s done and that it’s not an ‘entertainment’ type dance...
