Today was Kingitanga day at the University of Waikato. What in the world is Kingitanga day you ask? Well I was most stoked about Kingitanga day because we got classes off... but I had no idea what it was! So naturally I needed to see what the big deal was about. Kingitanga day is a day full of Maori culture and the celebration of the relationship between the University of Waikato and the Kīngitanga (the Maori King Movement). The day was full of lectures, history, bla bla, and games and prizes. Now we are talking!
Kingitanga day got started off with a Poi show followed by a make your palms sweat haka... Every time I see one of these my palms sweat they are that intense. Or maybe I am still traumatized by culture week...
After the pro's were done, they had students picked out of the crowd *suckers* to do the haka with them. This video is painful, but funny to watch.
