| Description: | Rituals. Maori (native New Zealanders of Polynesian - type descent) tribal dance and tongue sticking out ritual; called "Haka". Opens with title frame saying they are doing this for a deserving charity. Pan along line of Maori men wearing grass skirts and doing a line dance. They turn to right & left; get down on knees and back up; in synchronized movements. Another Maori tradition. 2 men; one tall and one short; each with a primitive weapon; brandish the weapons and jump on each other; pretending to attack; and at the same time sticking out their tongues and rolling their eyes around. This is quite bizarre. Not certain whether they are deadly serious or they mean to be funny. CU of these 2 both facing camera and making faces. Tribal or indigenous peoples; rites; warfare; violence | |
